NEW INGREDIENTS PRODUCTION NEWS Ingredients Tailor made skin care solutions for China DSM I DSM’s recent in-depth consumer research conducted in Beijing and Wuhan explored the beauty aspirations of Chinese women. The new in-vivo study, conducted with synthetic peptide Syn-Coll among Chinese volunteers, revealed that after just one month a formulation containing 2.5% of this peptide outperformed a market benchmark in the fight against lines and wrinkles. It also refined pore appearance, improved skin texture and revealed a lifted, sculpted look – features usually perceived as being vital for beautiful skin appearance by Chinese women. The research also provided deeper insights into people’s understanding of how pollution affects their beauty. The active ingredient Regu-Scence addresses the damaging effects of environmental aggression. It is a China-listed (Inventory of Existing Cosmetic Ingredients) and Ecocert- approved, natural, standardized bioactive, which is derived from a fragile white asparagus extract from the Spanish Navarra region. It is grown in the dark and harvested before sunrise to preserve high levels of saponins, which stimulate the skin’s own autophagy capabilities, staving off the damaging effects of pollution. Along with the study results on its ageing preven- tion activity, customers are providing new data, confirm- ing the ability of this active in- gredient to even out skin tone. www.dsm.com Active ingredients that fulfil the beauty aspirations of Chinese women Lab-cultivated macroalgal cells Seppic I Through its subsidiary, BiotechMarine, Seppic has launched the new technology Celebrity. With this technology, macroalgal cells are cultivated in the laboratory in order to pro- pose active ingredients for cosmetics using the sea surrounding France’s Bréhat archipelago con- taining hundreds of species. With this unlimited potential in mind, the new technology has made it possible to create a bank of macroalgal cells from many species whose compositions and effects on skin have yet to be explored. Using in vitro macroalgal cells culture, which are found in very low quantities in the ocean, a new marine source of active ingredients can be offered. *BiotechMarine specializing in hi-tech bioactive natural substances, extracted from seaweeds and marine plants, has been a subsidiary of Seppic since January 2013 and offers a wide range of 80 active ingredients, extracts and plant cells for personal care. www.seppic.com A new technology for a new marine source of active ingredients photo:JPC-PROD,Shutterstock.com Protein increases moisture retention TRI-K Industries I Developing a product that prevents dry skin caused by the use of daily surfactants, especially in rinse-off products, is a challenge. New data shows that Milk Tein NPNF made from food grade milk powder instantly nourishes, hydrates and enhances the feel of skin. Furthermore, with continued use, it enhances film substantivity and increases moisture retention. Additionally, this product is gentle on delicate/sensitive skin.
