Themed around "Sustainable technology perfects healthy beauty", BASF showcased its innovative personal care solutions at the “2023 Personal Care and Homecare Ingredients” (PCHi). Apart from sunscreen, cleansing, and skin care products, new arrivals - Postbiolift® and Phytocine®, impressed visitors at the trade show.
Enhances Skin Hydration and Barrier Function
Engaged in the development of active ingredients, BASF rolls out
Postbiolift®, a postbiotic sourced from Lactobacillus crispatus (L. crispatus) that is found naturally in the skin and decreases with age. This finding has led BASF researchers to assume that L. crispatus, isolated from human skin, may be the key to more youthful-looking skin and even complexion.
Postbiolift®, one of the two cosmetic ingredients from the same biofermentation process, supports an improvement in the mechanical properties of the skin to help make it appear more elastic, helps smoothen the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, and creates an even complexion.
Earlier last year, BASF launched Phytocine® that signifies a new generation of scientifically inspired actives based on Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM), an advancement made possible through a combination of modern skin biology science and TCM plants grown in the Pan-Himalaya region of Yunnan, China. The
Phytocine® series addresses personal care skin benefits related to enhancing skin hydration and barrier function (
Phytocine® AQUA) and combatting the signs of aging/ oxidation and dull complexion (
Phytocine® NOVO).
More Skin-concerned Sunscreen
BASF has been unveiling a stream of UV filters that cater to growing awareness and requests for sunscreen products in recent years.
Z-COTE® Sheer is a naturally derived liquid dispersion of Zinc Oxide. This highly effective, inorganic, broad-spectrum UV filter has excellent photostability and allows for the creation of lightweight formulas that protect the skin.
Besides, consumers are increasingly aware of the impact sunscreens can have on ecosystems, including the well-being of coral reefs. BASF has taken up the challenge of developing EcoSun Pass®, an evaluation tool that measures the environmental impact of sunscreen products. EcoSun Pass® defines ecological effects by evaluating various parameters, such as acute and chronic aquatic toxicity, endocrine disruptor activities, and more, with a view to enabling the industry to develop more eco-compliant sunscreen formulations.
"
2023 is a year full of hope and growth. We are excited to present BASF's innovative products, "said Viju Jose, vice president, of Personal Care Solutions, Care Chemicals, BASF Asia Pacific.
"As a leading supplier of cosmetics raw materials, BASF is committed to rejuvenating brands with our pioneering R&D technology, professional team, and sustainable concepts."
Against the backdrop of a burgeoning market and growing diversity of consumer demand in China, sustainability has become another buzzword in skin care. Exploiting its virtues in research & development, BASF gives an impetus to brand transformation and upgrading as a front-runner in the industry.
Healthy Skin Protection & Satisfying Oral Care
Skin health and allergy have become one of the most important trends in the current skin care product market. The structure and function of Mimiskin® highly resemble the intercellular lipids in the stratum corneum and form a skin-fitting invisible film that protects our natural barrier as it melts on the skin.
Fresicle® A is an ingredient that encapsulates retinyl palmitate in visualized microbeads. Built on advanced microfluidics technology, it ensures stability and activity of retinyl palmitate in all respects, with the activity of retinyl palmitate released when applied to the skin with appropriateness. It also amazes users with moisturizing and refreshing skincare benefits.
Emulgade® Verde 10MS is BASF's newly developed high-performance oil-in-water emulgator with a tiny particle of emulsification. Made from the green production process, this 100% natural and solvent-free product fits sensitive skin. Compatible with the grease of all polarities, it can be diluted for easier application. It feels smooth and not waxy. It is in extensive use in formulas for skin care, sunscreen, cleansing, and makeup.
Enameguard™'s naturally-derived wheat protein is shown to bind onto enamel challenged by acidic food and drinks in everyday life and attract enamel-fortifying minerals for remineralization. By launching Enameguard™, BASF, consistently committed to innovation and sustainability, takes a further move to satisfy the requirements of oral care customers and end users.
