Ferulic acid offers proven anti-aging skincare benefits, has low toxicity and possesses many physiological functions (anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial activity, anticancer). Our next generation formulations stabilise and enhance anti-oxidant performance of ferulic acid.
Caffeic acid offers proven skin anti-aging skincare benefits as well as antimicrobial and possibly anti-cancer benefits. Our microemulsion formulation enhances skin permeation of caffeic acid for superior anti-aging protection
Biological extracts are a recent innovation designed to deliver recognised skin benefits in the form of fast and easy topical application. Formulation design is very important in the realisation of these skin benefits.
Botanical extracts can provide remedies for many skin problems. However, to be effective in topical skincare products, the formulation used must stabilise the product actives and facilitate their skin permeation.
Maintenance of skin hydration is critical to having a healthy functioning and healthy looking skin. Poor skin hydration can lead to other skin disorders and premature aging. A balanced approach using humectant and emollient moisturisers provides the best way to avoid dry skin problems.
Our proprietary Green Micelle™ formulation system uses nano-size micelles to entrap and stabilise skincare actives. Formulations are stable, deep skin penetrating and effective.
Microemulsions can combine oil and water soluble skincare ingredients (Eg. Vitamins C and E) in a single formulation. They provide stable, deep skin penetrating and effective skincare formulations.
Introduction Combining Vitamin C and Vitamin E in a single combined treatment has proven to provide synergistic skincare benefits over and above those of individual vitamin treatments. However, combining water soluble Vitamin C with oil soluble Vitamin E in a stable and effective formulation presents a number of problems1. Very few existing Vitamin C/E skincare …
Retinol is a well known, proven anti-aging and anti-acne skincare ingredient. To date, the use and effectiveness of topical retinol has been restricted by formulation stability and skin irritability problems. Retinyl palmitate, in microemulsion formulation, overcomes these stability and irritation problems to provide effective retinoid antiaging and acne treatments.
Vitamin C is an important multi-functional skincare ingredient that plays a vital role is a number of antiaging and skin health processes. Because it is such an important ingredient with many scientifically proven skincare benefits, Vitamin C should be a necessary component of all antiaging and UV protecting skincare regimes.
Although many cosmeceutical formulations contain Vitamin C and/or Vitamin E, very few of them are actually effective in topical application4. Either the concentration is too low, the formulation stability is compromised or the vitamins fail to penetrate the skin. However, with the development of new nano-encapsulation formulations, topical combinations of Vitamin C and Vitamin E provide synergistically enhanced skincare benefits.
Vitamin E is the most important oil soluble antioxidant in protecting skin tissues. It is the skin’s first line of defence against skin aging UV radiation and ozone damage to collagen. Topical application is the best method to increase skin Vitamin E. Formulations combining both Vitamin E and Vitamin C have proven far more effective in fighting skin aging.
In multiple chronic clinical studies, topical niacinamide (vitamin B3) has been observed to be well tolerated by skin and to provide a broad array of improvements in the appearance of aging facial skin (eg., reduction in the appearance of hyperpigmentation spots and red blotchiness)
