Through its very strong partnerships with BotanicalsPlus and BioNap, Jeen International Corporation has been presenting unique active ingredients from the Mediterranean to the cosmetic and topical therapeutic industries. These ingredients, typically sourced from food like olives, oranges, and pistachios, find complementary use in topical skin and hair care applications. The safety profile for the ingredients is typically outstanding as they are derived from foods that have been consumed by humans for ages. BotanicalsPlus (

The company has expertise in botanical extraction, infusion, purification, distillation, hydrolysis, and bio-fermentation which it brings to these industries directly, and through its partnership with Jeen International into the personal care and cosmetic markets.

The combination of these two companies with the personal care capabilities of Jeen International formed a compelling and powerful pool of expertise from concept development to raw material sourcing, manufacturing, product development, testing, formulations to finished products and value-add ingredients.
The science behind Citrus sinensis (Red Orange) Extract Recently, this global trio of companies has begun to look at technologies in unique blends to address certain key skin targets that might include, for example, skin antioxidant benefits from red orange extract, or photoageing improvements via olive fruit extracts enriched with hydroxytyrosol. The ability to examine these ingredients individually is strategic to then begin to blend them into new combinations that elicit additional skin improvements.
In this paper, we will examine one unique blend, Skin Moon®
[INCI: Citrus sinensis
(Orange) Fruit Extract (and) Oryza sativa (Rice) Extract (and) Capparis spinosa Fruit Extract (and) Olea europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract (and) Maltodextrin], by looking at the fundamental studies that support the inclusion of each ingredient. In this way, it becomes more apparent how and why certain ingredients are combined to create a synergistic new extract blend that is then clinically tested for its efficacy. BioNap developed a nutritional supplement based on extracts from red oranges (Citrus sinensis) that are very popular in Italy (Fig 1). The deep red colour of these unique oranges reveals their inherent richness in anthocyanins and proanthocyanins that give these oranges their powerful benefits.
