NICOMENTHYL®20 (Menthyl nicotinate) is a new multifunctional, sensorial cosmetic ingredient. Liposoluble and thermostable. Skin microcirculation enhancer. Detoxifying, antioxidant, anti-age. Protecting against UV radiation, Blue light, WIFI, toxins, pollutants, and other external harmful factors. Full-scale in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated Menthyl nicotinate’s fast penetration kinetics through the skin, and its subsequent hydrolysis effectively releases pure niacin (vitamin B3) with a consequent significant increase of NAD levels in skin cells (NAD-booster effect). NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) plays key roles not only in all major biological processes concerning electron transport chain and energy metabolism, but also those involving immune response and repairing DNA damage due to oxidative stress. Nicomenthyl 20 does not cause any flush, irritation, or sensitization, even in cosmetic compositions containing it at concentrations up to 3-5%. Its time-release delivery of niacin is 3 to 8 times higher than the skin absorption rate of the common niacinamide. Such characteristics qualify Nicomenthyl 20 as a powerful, effective, safe percutaneous carrier of Vitamin B3.

All efficacy and safety test reports are available to customers upon request.

WATEC® ECT is an amino acid derivate and belongs to a group of molecules called extremolytes, which are produced by extremophilic micro-organisms to survive in extreme environmental conditions, such as high or low temperatures, extreme pressures, and high salinity. Extremolytes protect the cells and biological macromolecules from damage by such external stresses. WATEC® ECT is a safe, highly stable, 100% natural (fermentation process) and multifunctional cosmetic active ingredient with outstanding cell protection and anti-aging properties. Its antioxidant property protects the Langerhans cells against damage from pollution and provides overall cellular protection.  It is highly hydrophilic and protects the skin from dehydration due to environmental exposure with long-term moisturizing ability. It has excellent anti-inflammatory effect, repairs and reinforces broken skin barrier, and prevents DNA damage from UV and visible light.
