BioFer™ Sugar Kelp is a skin-firming active featuring a ferment of Laminaria Saccharina (Sugar Kelp) with L. plantarum, sustainably farmed off the coast of Maine. Ex-vivo testing showed a marked improvement in skin elasticity within 2 hours, with sustained improvement up to 8 hours. In-vitro testing validates results by showing a significant increase in collagen I upregulation.

Omega-CH-Activator® is a blend of amino acids, free radical scavengers, and peptides, derived from plant or synthetic sources. Its specific tripeptide, resembling a peptide sequence in collagen, is responsible for its superoxide dismutase activity. This liquid formula offers multiple skin and hair care benefits, including wound healing, collagen boosting, wrinkle refinement, and photo-aging protection. It is effective in body lotions, day creams, night creams, facial masks, and shaving products. Additionally, it provides anti-inflammatory, regenerating, and fine line-reducing effects. Omega-CH-Activator® is water-soluble and meets EU regulatory standards.

GfN-Selco Ferulic Acid Synthetic is a synthesized form of ferulic acid, which naturally occurs in plants, primarily in seeds, leaves, and barks, either as a free acid or as an ester. It is typically synthesized via the Knoevenagel condensation of vanillin and malonic acid diethylester in the presence of secondary amines. Ferulic acid usually exists as the trans isomer and is water-soluble. When stored at room temperature, slow isomerization results in an equilibrium ratio of 23% cis and 77% trans. Ferulic acid is known for its multiactive and multifunctional effects.

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.

Papain (800) is a natural enzyme found in high concentrations in the green peel and seeds of Carica papaya. It belongs to the cysteine protease class, exhibiting wide proteolysis activity. Traditionally used for tenderizing meat and cleaning wounds, papain also finds applications in wool and silk production to prevent matting and shrinking. It has vermicidal, antimicrobial, and antioxidative properties and is used in transfusion medicine and enzymatic peeling in cosmetics. With high activity and heat stability, it is widely applied in food, pharmaceuticals, daily chemicals, and the leather and textile industries. Papain (800) is produced using physical methods, including microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and freeze-drying, ensuring a pure, natural, and effective product.

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.

Omega-CTP-Active PHE is a mixture of amino acids, free radical scavengers, and peptides, all of plant or synthetic origin. It boosts cell metabolism and acts as a potent antioxidant, protecting the skin from radicals. In addition to regenerating and protecting the skin, it increases hydration and helps maintain the skin's water balance.

Peptidox® L (acetyl hexapeptide-8) is a synthesized oligopeptide mimicking the action of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) to reduce wrinkles. It inhibits acetylcholine release, preventing muscle contraction and providing a non-toxic, painless alternative to Botox for anti-aging treatments. Applied topically, it targets areas like the forehead and eyes, reducing the appearance of wrinkles without a rigid mask effect.

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 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 18-ß-Glycyrrhetinic Acid is derived from glycyrrhizic acid in licorice roots, known for its anti-inflammatory properties due to its structural similarity to cortisol. It offers a wide range of benefits, including soothing and healing effects for skin conditions, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties. Commonly used in skin care products like creams, masks, and lotions, it helps reduce allergic reactions and refresh the skin. Additionally, it supports cortisone therapy by reducing side effects.

GfN-Selco Aloe Vera Freeze Dried Gel Powder 200:1 is a potent skincare ingredient derived from fresh aloe leaves. Known for its collagen-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties, it enhances skin elasticity, combats aging, and accelerates wound healing. Rich in aloe polysaccharides, proteins, amino acids, and trace elements, this powder provides essential nourishment for smoother, more youthful skin.

Bromelain (600) is a hydrolytic protease derived from the stem of the pineapple plant, also known as pineapple enzyme. It is extracted through a process of juicing, filtration, drying, and grinding. Bromelain (600) hydrolyzes peptides into low molecular weight peptides and acts on amide and ester groups. It offers decongestant, anti-inflammatory, and circulation-promoting properties, contributing to healthy, smooth skin with a fresh and rosy complexion.

Atecoron Plus® PHE 1.2 is a unique combination of atelocollagen and biotechnologically derived sodium hyaluronate (SH) of varying molecular weights. Atelocollagen, a fibrous protein rich in proline and hydroxyproline, constitutes a significant portion of mammalian protein. It is produced through a mild enzymatic process using pepsin and calfskin, removing non-helical telopetides for enhanced purity.

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.
