Provital

Product Name: Senseryn

• INCI: Propanediol, Glycerin, Humulus lupulus Extract, Citric Acid.
• Place of Origin: Spain
• Concentrations in Formulation: Skincare Formulas - 1-3%
• Certifications/Compliance: Halal, COSMOS, CHINA IECIC Listed, Vegan
• Formulation Advantages: Senseryn strengthens the protective barrier of the skin by activating the sensory bitter taste receptors, by means of an innovative mechanism of action that improves the quality of life of sensitive and reactive skin. Senseryn inhibits the expression of the genes involved in inflammatory processes and activates the genes associated with improving the structure of the extracellular matrix, such as the formation of collagen. Senseryn activates the expression of the antimicrobial protein β-defensin-3, which helps protect against infection and inflammatory processes and aids wound healing.
• Ingredient Use: Soluble in aqueous solutions

Product Name: Wonderage

• INCI: Aqua (Water), Propanediol, Glycerine, Cucurbitaceae Extract, Pentylene Glycol, Lactobacillus/Brassica Nigra Seed Ferment Extract, Lactococcus Ferment Extract
• Place of Origin: Spain
• Concentrations in Formulation: Skincare Formula - 1-3%
• Certifications /Compliance: Halal, COSMOS, CHINA IECIC Listed
• Formulation Advantages: Wonderage improves dermal structure
• To ensure good dermal structure, an adequate moisture level must be maintained, provided by hyaluronic acid, and the collagen fibres must also be structured properly, ensured by the decorin proteoglycan. Both hyaluronic acid and decorin boost skin density and produce a visible filling effect. Wonderage increases the synthesis of both. This ingredient balances the epigenetics of mature skin by restoring radiance and harmonizing emotional capital for natural beauty Wonderage responds to the needs of mature skin. As the dermal structure deteriorates, mature skin becomes thinner, wrinkled, dehydrated and dull. Wonderage offers visible results in response to the needs of mature skin.
• Ingredient Use: Soluble in aqueous solutions

Simply Ingredients

Product Name: Hyaluronic Acid

• INCI: Water, Sodium Hyaluronate
• Place of Origin: USA
• Concentrations in Formulation: Skincare Formulas - 1-3%
• Formulation Advantages: High MW hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin, improves skin barrier function, and leaves dry skin feeling soothed and moisturized. Medium or mid MW hyaluronic acid penetrates deeper into the stratum corneum and promotes protection of the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF) - making it the right molecular weight to restore moisture where it is most needed. Low MW hyaluronic acid penetrates deeper into the epidermis to induce production of your skin's own native hyaluronic acid, and aiding in skin cell turnover. The utilization of three varying molecular weights in Hyaluronic Acid by Simply Ingredients allows for synergistic performance, versus using one molecular weight alone.
• Ingredient Use: Hyaluronic acid is a polymer and can be challenging to work with, but ours comes pre-dispersed so it can be easily incorporated into any water-based formula - just add to the water phase or on cool down. Due to its optimized molecular weight distribution, Hyaluronic Acid by Simply Ingredients provides all the benefits of hyaluronic acid without negative skin feel.

Nanovex

Product Name: DDS - Retinol

• INCI: AQUA, MANNITOL, PHOSPHATIDILCOLINE, GLYCERIN, RETINYL PALMITATE, CHOLESTEROL, POLYSORBATE 80, SODIUM BENZOATE, POTASSIUM SORBATE, XANTHAN GUM, SODIUM CHLORIDE
• Place of Origin: Spain
• Concentrations in Formulation: Skincare Formulation: 1 % - 10 % According to the frequency of application of the final product and the intensity of the effect that you want to achieve.
• Formulation Advantages: Retinyl palmitate (3 %) encapsulated in Deep release nano-vesicles (DDS – Deep Delivery System) to add in cosmetic, cosmeceutical or dermo pharmaceutical formulations. Retinyl Palmitate is an ester of vitamin A and is one of the most reliable ways to provide the skin with vitamin A. On delivery to the deep skin levels, Retinyl converts to Retinol (Vitamin A) which in turn converts to Retinal (Retinaldehyde), before finally converting to Retinoic Acid being the definitive molecule that provides the benefits to the skin. It stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin which improves skin strength and elasticity being the reason why it is considered one of the most potent anti-aging active ingredients.
• Ingredient Use: Shake before using. Add to bulk during the final phase of the production process, ensuring that the temperature does not exceed 40°C to avoid degradation of the encapsulated molecules. If you need to add it to higher temperatures, please consult our technical service. Ethanol concentrations higher than 15% may damage liposomes (contact our technical service for advice) . Detergents may break liposomes. Do not add to oil. In emulsions W/O or O/W add it in the aqueous solution.
