COSMETICS THAT MEET OUR UNIQUE NEEDS PRODUCTS WITH PURPOSE T o keep skin young and healthy, consumers need just the right cosmetics to meet their unique skin care needs. At Merck, we under- stand that the skin is more than just the first thing peo- ple see, more than something that should look good. We know that the skin is an impor- tant barrier and we’ve made it our mission to help people fortify that barrier against attacks – shield- ing it from the unwanted effects of time, sun damage, and skin irritations caused by bites. Go beneath the surface with us to ex- plore our advanced raw materials. Three important skin care seg- ments, many pioneering prod- uct ingredients. Merck draws on years of expertise and innovation making us your ideal partner for produc- ing cosmetic perfection. Together, we can go be- yond the revolutionary ingredients to create top- selling formulations. Ask us how, we’d be glad to help: For more please visit: www.merck4cosmetics.com Insect repellants We share our beautiful environment with many fascinating creatures. Unfortunately, some of them are considered rather bothersome. But it’s our job to be kind to the environment and everything in it – and that’s where IR3535® comes in. In use worldwide for over 30 years, scientists were inspired by the all-natural amino acid beta-alanine in the development of this active substance for insect repellence. It’s a true innovation that does not harm insects but merely repels them. Its efficacy against insects has been confirmed many times over – with an excellent track record for safety for the environment and all living things. The European Union’s Standing Committee on Biocidal Products most recently voted in favor of including IR3535® on its list of approved active substances. Thanks to its excellent toxicological properties, IR3535® is unbeatable for formulating safe and gentle products for young and old. Skin perfection Our RonaCare® line offers a variety of natural and high-tech options for protecting skin and retaining its youthful appearance. These products offer a wide range of benefits from popular anti-ageing and skin tone perfection to high-performance effects like moisturizing, sebum control, anti-inflam- mation and clinically proven slimming effect. Two novel RonaCare® products were recently launched to give consumers even more choice for ideal skin care: RonaCare® Pristine BrightTM enhances skin tone for a perfectly even appearance while RonaCare® Poppy SE offers premium slimming performance. For further evidence of our dedication to skin perfection just look to our RonaFlair® fillers. These true multi-taskers do many things all at once: They enhance wear characteristics, improve skin feel, expand application properties – some even diffuse light on the skin, making it look smoother. Our latest launch of the RonaFlair® Smart Veil at in-cosmetics 2014 perfectly underscores our desire to enhance make-up formulations for beauty products. This innovative ingredient for face powder NOW offers innovative UV protection! Light protection As a well-known market leader in sun protection, we offer organic, inorganic, and encapsulated UV filters – all under our innovative Eusolex® product range. Keeping our finger on the pulse of sun care, we are now addressing heightened concerns about UV protection with the launch of our new Eusolex® T-EASY – a product that’s completely compatible with reactive raw materials such as antioxidants or skin-lighteners. This ingredient extends our product portfolio, highlighting our commitment to engineering groundbreaking sun protection applications. But why stop there? Our line of self-tanners and biological tanners gives consumers a natural glow. Biological tanners are ideal for preventing UV-induced premature ageing. They support the skin’s natural defenses, protecting it from the inside out. That’s why we launched RonaCare® BronzylTM – a recent addition to our already extensive portfolio – targeting the emerging biological tanning segment in the cosmetics industry. Rounding off our Light Protection expertise, products from the Oxynex® line are on offer to extend the shelf life of oils, fats, and light-sensitive cosmetic ingredients, stabilizing these blends with effective antioxidants.
