Personal Care Ingredients

WHITENERGY is the eco-friendly processed ingredient obtained by ultra pressure pretreatment and fermentation with the microorganism, Lactobacillus delbrueckii. It is a dual effect, active ingredient for skincare with properties that lighten and moisturize skin. The mechanism for skin lightening involves the inhibition of MC1R and AhR induced by ultraviolet (UV) and particulate matter (PM), inhibition of key enzymes of melanin synthesis, and blocks melanocytic dendrite extension and melanosome transfer. WHITENERGY increases moisturization by decreasing TEWL. Use level: 2.00%

GERMIFERM N Lotus flower extract based on an advanced fermentation technology improves moisture-sebum balance and smooth skin condition.

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.

FERMENTED RICE WATER was tested for its ability to prevent hair moisture loss, providing additional moisturisation with excellent results in both leave on and rinse off conditions.
