Natural polysaccharide launch Indena is launching Xilogel® , a natural polysaccharide
from Tamarindus indica, at in-cosmetics 2011. Xilogel®
is a Tamarindus indica polysaccharide
endowed with remarkable filming and hydrating properties. Xilogel®
has been characterized as a
branched high-molecular weight (ca. 650,000 Daltons) xiloglucane, capable of forming viscous gels with an excellent sensory feel. Preliminary evidence of film formation, improvement of skin elasticity, amelioration of transepidermal water loss and micro-
roughness improvement were all achieved. Capitalizing on these observations, Indena has investigated the cosmetic potential of Xilogel®
in
terms of moisturization, anti-age capacity and improvement of the skin barrier, in two separate clinical trials of which one was specifically designed for men and the second specifically for women for a longer term use.
INDENA S.p.A., Stand Q39 New source of sustainable botanicals
Arch Personal Care Products has developed plant bioactives from difficult to source plants, using ecologically sound and state-of-the-art plant cell reactors. Harvests from field cultivated and wild-grown plants can be plagued by variations in weather, low and variable concentrations of plant actives, and a constraint from using slow growing, rare or hard to cultivate plants. By using bioreactors to grow plant cells as a new source of sustainable botanicals, Arch Personal
Care Products was able to overcome these obstacles and revolutionize how plants are used. This technology allows the production of an ingredient that has reproducible biomass and concentration of actives. By cultivating plant cells in a bioreactor, Arch Personal Care Products is able to optimize the use of resources by minimizing residual biomass from field grown plants and decrease their environmental impact, as native plants and ecosystems will not need to be destroyed to grow monocultures of crops; this almost eliminates waste. Since many rare plants have never been studied due to the inability to source material, this technology opens the door to new actives.
