C-Phycocyanin pigment comes from the microalga Spirulina and delivers a vivid blue color with strong antioxidant activity. Producers offer it as a stable freeze-dried powder in purity grades E16, E18, and E25. C-Phycocyanin adds natural color and bioactivity to food, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals. In formulations, it enhances antioxidant defense while creating vibrant blue shades. Its fluorescent properties also make it valuable for biotechnology and diagnostic research. This balance of function, stability, and natural origin makes C-Phycocyanin a versatile high-performance ingredient.
Selaginella Exosome is a biotech-derived delivery active based on Selaginella lepidophylla vesicles. It supports efficient interaction with the skin barrier and improves the bioavailability of functional ingredients. Known as the “resurrection plant,” Selaginella brings strong moisture-retention and stress-resistance properties. This system enhances skin hydration, improves resilience to environmental stress, and strengthens the skin barrier. It also boosts penetration efficiency and overall formulation performance, making it suitable for protective, anti-stress, and hydration-focused skincare systems.
PhytoCell™ Sleep combines freeze-dried cherry, asparagus, and citrus into a plant-derived bioactive complex. The process preserves key compounds and maintains ingredient integrity. Trehalose stabilizes the matrix during processing and storage. This composition supports relaxation and sleep-related pathways. It contributes to circadian rhythm balance and recovery through the delivery of natural compounds. The ingredient derives from conventional food sources and uses mechanical processing without chemical modification. It is not considered a New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) under current FDA guidance, supporting its use in sleep-focused nutraceutical formulations.
OPT Deep Sleep Oil is a neuroactive essential oil blend verified by GC–MS for consistent bioactive content. It contains monoterpenes like linalool, limonene, and γ-terpinene that interact with GABA pathways in the nervous system. These compounds activate alpha brain waves (8–12 Hz) linked to calm wakefulness and pre-sleep relaxation. The oil also offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that support nighttime repair. Its sensorial and physiological benefits make it ideal for overnight skincare, sleep balms, and relaxation-focused beauty products.
IPSTiC technology applies a multimodal approach, combining three synergistic polymer matrices with plant-derived actives. This system enhances hydration, adhesion, and protection, preserving active stability while ensuring a long-lasting effect. In vitro studies confirm its anti-hair loss efficacy through 5-alpha-reductase inhibition.
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.

Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin’s extracellular matrix, where it maintains firmness, elasticity, and hydration. It supports tissue tone and moisture while helping reduce visible wrinkles and fine lines. Micellar Hyaluronic delivers hyaluronic acid through polymeric micelles that penetrate the stratum corneum and reach deeper skin layers, increasing availability and boosting hydration. The smaller micelles enhance its performance further by improving skin tone, firmness, and overall smoothness.
Jeju Blue Soybean PDRN is a plant-based Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) extracted from Jeju's native blue soybeans. The extraction process uses eco-friendly methods, such as low-temperature DNA extraction with mineral-rich water. This PDRN promotes skin regeneration, improves elasticity, and enhances firmness while providing hydration. It serves as a vegan alternative to animal-derived PDRN, making it suitable for clean and sustainable formulations.
