Natural, multifunctional, highly effective: How one bioactive can meet all trending consumer needs

The need for 100% natural, highly effective, safe, and multifunctional active ingredients is rising. There is only a very limited number of single molecules with clinically proven efficacy a formulator can choose from to implement multiple benefits like anti-ageing, skin barrier repair, soothing, whitening, long-term hydration, and global protection (anti-pollution, blue-light, etc.) with one active. In this webinar we will provide an overview of trending consumer needs and explain how the single molecule and bioactive Ectoin can help you to formulate highly effective, “clean-beauty” formulations, meeting the latest market trends.

A new collagen era

Timeless classics have become must-haves thanks to their record of quality and efficacy. If there is one classic in cosmetics, it is collagen. Whether in its protein version, hydrolyzed amino acids or collagen booster ingredients, all can provide the longed-for collagen claim. However, consumers’ needs are evolving and demand sustainability, animal friendliness, and high efficacy.
Presenting a type I collagen fragment produced in wild plants as biofactories, this sustainable technology allows us to obtain a molecule identical to a fragment of the human collagen type I sequence, with the proper post-translational hydroxylations required to be fully functional. A remastered concept of collagen, for a new collagen era.

Caring for you and for others – our community-based product line

Cosmetic customers are moved by sustainable topics like mindful beauty, ethically sourced ingredients and green cosmetics. Our community-based products emphasize these sustainable topics and offer the perfect properties for beauty lovers – products which are caring for you and for others. We like to present you our handcrafted Shea Butter from Ghana and Burkina Faso, Paradise Nut Oil from Colombia and Marula Oil from Namibia. Many products in our community-based product line have been part of our assortment for several years. They offer added sustainability value because: 1. people in the countries of origin of the raw material use or manufacture the products traditionally, making them particularly authentic, and 2. the products provide fair income and thus a better standard of living for people in the raw material origin. In addition, each product reinforces at least three sustainability aspects and related SDGs (sustainable development goals) of the United Nations.

Happy ageing for your eyes, with a purified & sustainable active ingredient

Wellness-oriented beauty is more than ever a top trend in this post-Covid era. Beauty rituals answer to people’s need of taking care of themselves, of expressing who they are. Anti-ageing remains a key concern, especially because signs of ageing can disturb individuals’ self-representation as well as the perception by others. Among signs of facial ageing, the ageing of eye-contours is essential as the eyes are a vector of emotions and deeply involved in the perception of the beauty of a face.

In line with the now requirement of sustainable solutions with no compromise in efficacy, a comprehensive solution to tackle eye contour ageing will be proposed. With visible results in just 14 days, this solution relies on a sustainably and locally harvested plant resource, purified to achieve a efficient highly substantiated active ingredient.

World’s first cutting-edge ingredient, “Repista”. Cell rejuvenation for well-ageing.

“Repista” is a completely new anti-ageing ingredient that has a cell activation effect. Aza-Oxohypoxanthine, a plant growth factor found only slightly in plants, was developed by VC60 for the first time in the world as a cosmetic ingredient. It will be a safe and secure ingredient that is also contained in vegetables such as tomatoes, potatoes, rice and wheat which we take in our daily lives. It has been confirmed to have retinol-like effects, such as promoting turnover and hyaluronic acid production, and has also been shown to improve the skin barrier function and skin brightness in clinical trials. It is non-irritant and can be used safely by people of all ages, skin types, and genders.

Creating superior skin-feel with 100% natural cellulose

Valida is a 100% natural celulose that is used in cosmetic products to stabilise formulations and offer a super skin-feel similar to silicone. Valida is mechanically fibrillated to give a strong 3D network which gives its unique, multifunctional properties compared to conventional celluloses that are chemically modified. Learn how to incorporate Valida into your formulations to improve the texture, quick-break and spreadability as well as additional properties like boosting SPF in sunscreens.
