Selco

GfN-Selco Bamboo Charcoal Powder is made from moso bamboo timber, a sustainable and environmentally friendly material. Bamboo, one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth, regrows from its existing root structure when the culms are cut. The bamboo charcoal is microporous with excellent adsorption properties due to its large specific surface area (200-400 m²/g), making it ideal for use as a deodorizer, purifier, and humidity controller. The bamboo is charred at temperatures above 1000°C, then ground, sieved into various mesh sizes, and packed. The powder consists of pure natural carbon and is not chemically or physically treated for activation.

GfN-Selco Alpha-Bisabolol Organic (A) is a clear oily fluid containing at least 95% (-)-alpha-bisabolol, a monocyclic unsaturated sesquiterpene alcohol. Known as an active component of Matricaria chamomilla, it is widely recognized for its anti-irritant and spasmolytic properties. Traditionally, (-)-alpha-bisabolol was extracted from chamomile flowers, which contain about 30% of this active ingredient.

GfN-Selco Butyl Resorcinol is a chemically derived alkyl resorcinol known for its excellent bioavailability and strong tyrosinase-inhibiting properties. Effective as a skin lightener, it helps achieve an even skin tone and is used in treatments for age spots, facial hyperpigmentation, and melasma. It is biodegradable and naturally occurs in significant amounts in cereal bran fractions such as wheat and rye.

GfN-Selco Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone 50 or ubidecarenone, is a natural coenzyme produced by bacterial fermentation. It is a lipophilic antioxidant and radical scavenger, inhibiting lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation in skin cells while regenerating antioxidants like tocopherol. Naturally present in low concentrations across organisms, it plays a critical role in various biological activities and is widely used in the nutrition and pharmaceutical industries for its efficacy.

GfN-Selco Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate is a water-soluble, anti-inflammatory agent derived from liquorice root. It is converted to the potassium salt form by adding potassium hydroxide. Known for its high surface activity, temperature stability, and ease of formulation, it is non-toxic, preservative-free, and suitable for oily skin. Selco Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate is used in skin and hair care applications such as aftershaves, shampoos, conditioners, and rinses. It functions as a sebum regulator and stabilizing agent, offering anti-irritant benefits. The product complies with COSMOS, EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009, and EC No.1907/2006 standards.

GfN-Selco Ascorbyl Glucoside is a stabilized derivative of ascorbic acid with superior formulation stability and water solubility. It resists discoloration and degradation while retaining the biological activity of L-ascorbic acid. Known for its lightening, sun-protective, and anti-aging properties, it penetrates the skin and is metabolized into free vitamin C.

GfN-Selco GRNTEA EXT (EGCG) 90 is a green tea extract with a high EGCG content, known for its strong antioxidative properties and health benefits, including cancer prevention.

GfN-Selco Phytosterol Complex 95 % is derived from the lipophilic parts of plants, such as seeds, and functions as a structural component of the cell membrane, similar to cholesterol in human cells. In the skin, phytosterols are stored in the lipid bilayer, contributing to structure and stabilization. They act as natural emulsifiers, forming lipidic protective films on skin and hair, and have anti-irritant properties that reduce erythema and itching. This complex is designed to repair damaged skin and protect intact skin.

GfN-Selco Turmeric Oil (CO₂) is a natural oil derived from the root of the *Curcuma longa* (turmeric) plant, with an INCI name of Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Oil. It is of natural origin, specifically plant origin, and is labeled as organic. The product is in liquid form.
