Givaudan announces the introduction of RetiLife™, a molecule for anti-aging and a breakthrough evolution for the cosmetic industry. This new active ingredient is claimed to be the first 100% naturally sourced retinol and as such a sustainable solution to chemically synthesized retinol.
Sustainable Alternative to Synthetic Retinol
RetiLife™ is the result of advanced biotechnology development by their experts. Through the use of micro-organisms, pure retinol is produced in a natural carrier during a fermentation process from plant sugars and combined with natural antioxidants to ensure its protection, even at a very high concentration. RetiLife™ is of its kind to offer a sustainable alternative to synthetic retinol with similar anti-wrinkle efficacy.
With 100% natural-origin content, including sunflower oil as a carrier, the composition of
RetiLife™ avoids synthetic ingredients such as BHT/BHA or polysorbate. Its molecule is identical to its chemical counterpart.
“Throughout the years, Active Beauty has broken cosmetic boundaries by launching active ingredients that outperform competitors. With the launch of RetiLife™, a unique hero cosmetic biotech innovation, we focus on creating consumer-preferred products that leverage our capabilities in line with our purpose,” said Maurizio Volpi, president of Givaudan Fragrance & Beauty.
Romain Reynaud, R&D director of Givaudan Active Beauty, said, “
Retinol is widely used in skincare applications for its well-known efficient anti-wrinkles properties. After years of research and development, we are thrilled to offer the most innovative and sustainable retinol on the cosmetic market and therefore open the door to new cosmetic applications. RetiLife™ is a game-changer in the beauty industry that responds to consumer demand for cleaner beauty products.”
