“We don’t just present innovation in active ingredients; we also delve into relevant technical advances and new application methods,” says a company spokesperson.
According to Solabia, its antibacterial products are unlike those currently used in the cosmetic industry, while certain newly developed actives, Viniderm and Teflose are set to be showcased at the trade show.
Actives
Anti-oxidant active Viniderm, derived from a patented process of bioconversion of resveratrol into delta-viniferin, has been said to have provided an alternative approach for the Solabia as it preserves the skin’s youthfulness by protecting stem cell niches and mitochondrial DNA whilst reducing the signs of aging by redensifying the extra-cellular matrix.
Teflose on the other hand is a natural branched polysaccharide, rhamnose-rich, that’s obtained by bacterial fermentation. According to the company, it plays the role of an anti-adhesive protective cover while also helping to modulate the inflammatory response generated by microbial stress, to decrease the feeling of discomfort.
