Vegan Spicule is a synthetic micro-rod ingredient that mimics natural sponge spicules and provides a vegan, sustainable alternative for cosmetic formulations. These microscopic rods create temporary micro-channels in the skin and enhance the penetration of active ingredients. They improve ingredient absorption and boost overall formulation performance. Vegan Spicule supports gentle skin renewal and smooths skin texture. Its controlled particle size enables effective penetration while minimizing irritation. Formulators use it in anti-aging, resurfacing, and advanced delivery systems. It is available in controlled particle size grades (75 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm) to tailor penetration intensity and skin stimulation.
Grape Exosome is a biotech-derived delivery active based on Vitis vinifera fruit cell extracellular vesicles, designed to support efficient interaction with the skin barrier and enhance the bioavailability of functional ingredients; associated with polyphenol-rich grape actives, this system supports antioxidant defense, helps protect against oxidative stress, and contributes to skin tone improvement while enhancing penetration efficiency and overall formulation performance, making it particularly suitable for brightening, environmental protection, and high-performance skincare systems.
This multifunctional creatine-based active also works as a silicone alternative. It uses a biolipid delivery system to enhance skin penetration and control release. The formula combines humectants and lipid carriers to improve hydration and skin feel. It stimulates fibroblast activity and increases collagen production to improve firmness. The ingredient disperses easily in aqueous systems and integrates well into gels, emulsions, and serums. It fits anti-aging, firming, and skin regeneration applications.
Our post-biotic active moisturizes skin immediately.It offers effective oil control and soothing.Probiotic fermentation creates this sustainable ingredient.Polysaccharides strengthen the scalp and skin barrier.The solution reduces transepidermal water loss.It protects cells from environmental stressors.This creates balanced and resilient hair.It works perfectly in high-end formulations.
SCH Blend™ Lip Plump delivers immediate and long-term lip plumping through thermo-activation. It stimulates collagen synthesis using a peptide complex. The formula improves hydration, lip contour, and overall volume appearance. It creates a warming sensation that enhances microcirculation. At the same time, it reduces inflammation and supports the extracellular matrix. Lips appear smoother, fuller, and more defined.
ELA-Tide is a biomimetic tetrapeptide that stimulates dermal collagen synthesis and promotes follicle matrix regeneration. It is designed for incorporation into anti-aging and haircare formulations to improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and strengthen the scalp and hair roots. This peptide exhibits hydration support and barrier protection through its ability to fortify the skin’s natural moisture retention capabilities.
DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) delivers visible lifting, brightness, and wrinkle reduction while improving the appearance of fine lines and dark circles. Encapsulation in nano-micelles sized 10–50 nm enhances skin penetration and provides a sustained release for longer-lasting results. This advanced system also reduces odor and improves stability, creating a more pleasant and effective sensory experience in cosmetic applications.
Caffeine, extracted from the coffee beans of the Coffea arabica plant, helps reduce the thickness of subcutaneous adipose tissue. Combined with Centella asiatica extract, green coffee oil, and Arnica montana oil, it enhances cosmetic treatments with strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and microcirculation-stimulating effects. The nanometric size of nCaffeine Complex improves penetration of the active ingredients into the skin and ensures gradual release, providing a longer-lasting effect.
nOmegas combines essential fatty acids (EFAs) encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles to optimize stability, delivery, and effectiveness. The formulation includes alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), linoleic acid (omega-6), and arachidonic acid, sourced from nutrient-rich flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus) oils. These EFAs play a critical role in skin health by enhancing hydration, restoring physiological balance, and reinforcing the stratum corneum. By maintaining barrier integrity, nOmegas helps prevent transepidermal water loss and improves overall resilience. Beyond cosmetic use, EFAs are also recognized as valuable adjuvants in veterinary care, particularly for supporting the management of atopic dermatitis.
