Raw materials

POMEGRANATE OLÉOACTIF® is an oil-soluble active component of pomegranate flower and jojoba that protects the skin barrier, prevents transepidermal moisture loss, hydrates the skin and fights free radicals. The raw materials (jojoba and pomegranate) for this product come from Southern Morocco, South America, the USA and Israel. The active biomolecules in this component are polyphenols-antioxidants, anti-inflammatory terpenoids and sterols. The ORAC test showed that when using POMEGRANATE OLÉOACTIF®, the antioxidant activity is 74% higher than when using ordinary jojoba oil, and that it fights very strongly against free radicals and thus reduces oxidative stress in skin cells.

Acticire® MB is a product texture regulator based on a complex of functional waxes that create a soft, smooth layer that protects the skin from dehydration and ensures a comfortable feeling throughout the day. Natural waxes have interesting cosmetic properties: they create a barrier against moisture loss, come from renewable sources and have an excellent safety profile. For example, jojoba wax creates soft and easily spreadable textures, mimosa wax has film-forming properties, and sunflower wax has excellent thermostability. Vegetable waxes protect the skin, but they are themselves demanding in emulsion formulations and leave a rough feel on the skin. Acticire® MB in formulations produces smaller and more rounded crystals that create a very smooth layer on the skin that gives a soft touch. It is a patented technology of transesterification of solid and liquid waxes with polyglycerol. This raw material is perfectly stable in emulsions and presents new sensory advantages.
