Evonik has received Ringier Technology Innovation Awards for its newly launched short-chain ceramide SPHINOX® Lift and vegetal sourced cholesterol-derivative TEGO® Sterol 7-DHC V.
This is the fourth consecutive year that innovations from Evonik have been selected for these awards.
Enhances Natural Shield
Ceramides by Evonik are considered a flagship solution to enhance, protect and repair the skin and hair’s natural shield. These not only inspire cosmetics formulators but also enjoy an increasing awareness among end-consumers in China.
The portfolio focusing on skin-identical ceramides is manufactured based on naturally derived materials as well as advanced natural yeast fermentation processes with less impact on the environment. As one of the latest newcomers to the diverse product family,
SPHINOX® Lift tightens the skin and visibly lifts face contours.
Due to its bioavailability in deeper skin layers, SPHINOX® Lift functions as a signaling molecule, providing multilayer activity and improving the state of the various skin layers, thus leading to scientifically proven
anti-aging and skin-firming efficacy.
TEGO® Sterol 7-DHC V is a 100 percent vegetal-origin, fermentation-based ingredient produced from the oil of pine trees. This new product allows for the same great benefits of traditional 7-DHC but avoids concerns around sustainability and animal-origin ingredients, such as batch-to-batch variability and potential transmission of diseases or pathogens.
A precursor to vitamin D3, TEGO® Sterol 7-DHC V is activated under UV radiation to yield photoprotective benefits for the skin. It has also been found to support skin cell differentiation and promote the production of natural antimicrobial peptides for a healthy skin barrier.
