Replexium™ – rapid improvement of visible signs of skin ageing

Replexium™ is a skin-bioavailable synergistic complex of two patented peptides. This peptide blend has been shown to work on various layers of the skin by targeting specific proteoglycans (lumican and syndecan-1) and collagen XVII that all decrease with age. Replexium demonstrated its ability to significantly decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and to improve dermal density.

Proteasyl® – entering the connected skin era

The active Proteasyl® is a natural polypeptidic ingredient acting as a protease inhibitor that quickly improves skin elasticity. New study results proved the efficacy of Proteasyl on multiple body parts: arms, chest, face. Extracted from peas, Proteasyl is Ecocert approved and IECIC listed.

RNAge® – reshaping facial harmony

As it ages, the skin loses its firmness and begins to sag, causing the face to lose its youthful contours. Based on the latest findings of BASF’s epigenetics platform, the new active RNAge® rebalances Let-7b – the microRNA that downregulates the production of proteins which are key to building dermal architecture. In doing so, the active helps the dermis to stay dense, rebuilding it from deep within and finally firming facial shape. Extracted from sea buckthorn, RNAge is COSMOS approved and IECIC listed.

Hyalurosmooth® – counteracting harmful effects of daily stress

Daily stresses are known to translate into cutaneous stress, with cortisol as its main mediator. Hyalurosmooth® represses the cortisol damaging impact on skin, restoring collagen type I and hyaluronic acid that are affected. Bringing the positive effect of a mindful lifestyle – rested from the inside – Hyalurosmooth helps the skin recover its hydration and radiance. Extracted from the Indian Cassia angustifolia, Hyalurosmooth is IECIC listed.

DN-Age® – youthfulness from inside the hair

BASF’s anti-aging active ingredient for hair, DN-Age® slows down the hair graying process and reduces hair loss. The active ingredient acts on the scalp by preventing UV induced DNA damage. It also protects hair follicle cells to prevent hair greying and hair ageing. DN-Age leads to greater hair density: 80 percent of panelists perceived their hair to be stronger, fuller, and thicker. Extracted from Cassia alata leaves and titrated in flavonoids, DN-Age is also COSMOS approved and IECIC listed. DN-Age is available as a concentrated powder and a hydro-glycerin solution.

Rheocare® XGN – the vegan, stabilizing and thickening polymer

Rheocare® XGN is the first polymer launched by BASF based on pure vegan Xanthan Gum. It is 100 percent based on renewable feedstock and not produced from genetically modified organisms (GMO). Rheocare XGN is a powerful thickening agent and stabilizer for emulsion and surfactant based formulations. It creates crystal-clear formulations, has a high electrolyte and ethanol tolerance, can be processed cold and is easy to use even without neutralization step. This highly flexible polysaccharide can be used for various cosmetic applications and is suitable for oral care. Rheocare XGN is COSMOS compliant and suitable for NATRUE formulations.

Tinosorb® S Lite Aqua – a lighter way to protect your skin

Tinosorb® S Lite Aqua is based on a unique technology to bring broad-band UV protection to the water phase. It is the water-dispersible form of its oil-soluble counterpart Tinosorb S. This allows cosmetic manufacturers to reduce the UV filter load in the oil phase for more formulation flexibility and lighter formulations. Distributing the UV filter load between the oil and water phase boosts the SPF and UV-A protection factor. Thus, Tinosorb S Lite Aqua is an ideal candidate for low viscous formulations, which benefit from a reduced oil phase. Due to the unique properties of Tinosorb S Lite Aqua, water resistance can be achieved in spite of having a UV filter in the water phase.
