BASF Latest Innovations
Hydrasensyl® Glucan- Moisturizes the Skin
BASF will launch a new active ingredient, Hydrasensy
® Glucan that moisturizes, smoothes and soothes the skin. The beneficial effects are the result of the composition of active ingredient. It has a polysaccharide structure which resembles hyaluronic acid, while the triple helix arrangement of the fibers is known from collagen.
Hydrasensyl
® Glucan consists of a long chain of sugar molecules and hyaluronic acid hydrates and soothes the skin. This primary structure enables the active ingredient to act as a natural water store, by binding large amounts of water.
The polysaccharide chains are intertwined to form a rope-like, highly resilient triple helix – just like collagen, a structural protein that gives the skin its elasticity. This 3D structure can help to enhance the resistance of formulations to variations in pH or temperature and electrolyte load. In addition, Hydrasensyl
® Glucan provides a light feel on the skin.
Bioactive Ingredient Inolixir™- Promotes Skin Health
The hyper-concentrated bioactive ingredient is a 100% natural extract of chaga mushroom obtained using an innovative eco-friendly technology, subcritical water extraction. It fortifies the skin’s natural protection system with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Inolixir™ works in two ways: Firstly, it offers a wellness approach proven to be effective on tired and stressed skin. The participants of the study reported that Inolixir
™ was as effective as a five-day relaxation cure in mitigating fatigue lines, dark circles and dullness.
Secondly, the bioactive ingredient to present dermocosmetic solutions for sensitive skin: it offers anti-redness and anti-dullness benefits. 85 percent of study participants perceived a health benefit for their skin and 91 percent reported increased skin comfort within 7 to 28 days of application.
Mild Surfactants- Texapon® SFA and Dehyton® SFA
Texapon® SFA is a very mild, innovative anionic surfactant based on sustainable, RSPO-certified renewable resources. It is 100 percent biodegradable and suitable as an alternative to surfactants containing sulfate. The product is extremely gentle on the skin and eyes, making it especially suitable for delicate baby skin and formulas for tear-free shampoo products.
Clinical tests have shown that Texapon SFA does not cause a burning sensation in the eyes, is easy on the skin and mucous membranes, and creates an extremely porous, stable and creamy foam. The product reinforces the beneficial effect of the cationic polymers in shampoos and has been proven to make it easier to comb hair – including when added to formulas that do not contain polymers.
Dehyton® SFA is an innovative blend of Texapon
® SFA and betaine. It is cold processable, easier to formulate and comes with very low risk of irritating the eyes. It is extremely gentle on the skin and mucous membranes and can be used as a micellar thickening agent in formulas.
Hair Styling Polymer- Rheocare® HSP-1180
Rheocare® HSP-1180 on initial application offers a good level of setting performance. It is then possible to comb the hair and restyle it multiple times with heat styling tools such as hair straighteners.
Rheocare
® HSP-1180 allows the hair to be styled effectively at lower temperatures and makes the hair smoother so that straighteners glide over it. It also protects the hair from heat styling damage at higher temperatures.
EcoSun Pass- Eco-friendly sunscreen
BASF’s EcoSun Pass is a methodology that enables the environmental impact evaluation of
UV filter systems. he environmental impact assessment system developed by BASF is clear, transparent and comprehensive. It is based on internationally recognized criteria and comprises eight different parameters, from biodegradation and aquatic toxicity to endocrine disruption potential.
Marcel Schnyder, Head Global Technical Center Sun Care, will speak about sun care and present BASF’s EcoSun Pass in the Making Cosmetics’ presentation program.
