Syensqo unveils Cerafy biomimetic ceramides


Solvay spin-off Syensqo has launched Cerafy, a range of biomimetic natural ceramides for skin care and hair care applications. Following the recent acquisition


of JinYoung Bio, a specialty cosmetic ingredients supplier based in South Korea, the launch of Cerafy demonstrates Syensqo’s commitment to rapidly grow its Beauty Care business and portfolio toward more natural specialty skin care solutions. Cerafy Pure NPo, the first product


in the range, is a pure ceramide 3 solution that addresses the decrease in natural ceramide levels within the skin. It helps protect skin against dryness and prevents premature aging by revitalizing the skin’s barrier function. “Ceramides are pivotal in


maintaining the skin’s integrity, acting as a protective barrier in the outermost layer of the skin to lock in moisture and shield against environmental damage,” said Léa Seidenbinder, global skin care marketing manager at Syensqo. “With Cerafy, we enable


formulators to develop responsible and personalized skin care routines that help restore, protect and maintain the skin’s beauty and health.” Cerafy is produced through a unique fermentation process that aligns with the focus of Syensqo’s Renewable Materials and Biotechnology Growth Platform.


Givaudan tackles ‘OxInflammation’ with Silybidiol


Givaudan Active Beauty has unveiled Silybidiol, said to be the first globally compliant alternative to the iconic CBD (cannabidiol) molecule. Designed to combat the harmful


The platform leverages


biotechnologies as an enabler to develop renewable carbon-based and safe chemistry to accelerate the transformation toward sustainable and circular solutions. Natural ceramides are also key


active ingredients for hair care and skin cleansing formulations. To that end, Syensqo will focus its


research and innovation efforts on further developing the Cerafy range over the coming months. In a related development,


Syensqo has also launched Oleogy LDXP/HDXP/HDXP KL, and Textify LALY. Oleogy LDXP/HDXP/HDXP KL


(INCI: Dextrin Palmitate) is a line of natural oil rheology modifiers including Oleogy LDXP for low viscosity, Oleogy HDXP for high


viscosity, and Oleogy HDXP KL for very high viscosity. These products create


transparent to translucent gels with varying viscosities, providing stability in emulsions and structure to oils even creating sticks. Formulators will have the


capacity to develop innovative textures and adjust the viscosity and hardness depending on the formulation needed. Lastly, Textify LALY (INCI: Lauroyl


Lysine) is an organic texturizing powder said to provide an ultimate silky sensation enhancing the sensory experience by improving the overall skin feel of beauty care products. It is a pure natural powder


obtained from the Lysine amino acid grafted to a Lauric fatty chain.


Apoena unzips biofilm-forming postbiotic


Brazilian personal care ingredient maker Apoena Biotech has launched Apobio Film, a biofilm- forming postbiotic product for hair and skin care said to provide 72- hour moisturizing action. Produced from the fermentation


of probiotic bacteria, it is rich in polysaccharides and fructooligosaccharides, which prevent transepidermal water loss. Apobio Film forms a protective film on the hair surface. This barrier retains moisture within the hair, prolonging hydration and preventing dryness. DSC measurements indicate a

shift in the peak water vaporization temperature from 64.80 to 84.30°C, meaning a 30% increase in Apobio Film’s anti-drying efficacy compared to the control group. On the skin, Apobio Film acts as a guardian of the skin’s


barrier, enhancing water retention within cells and providing instant hydration. A clinical trial confirmed the


product’s efficacy with a 58% increase in hydration and a 15% decrease in skin water loss. This results in immediate and profound hydration lasting up to 72 hours. In vitro tests reveal Apobio Film’s


skin soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, the active ingredient shows promise in controlling oiliness, as evidenced by a 66.7% reduction in the expression of the enzyme 5-α-reductase responsible for this effect.


effects of urban photo-pollution and promote skin health, Silybidiol is extracted from the fruit of the milk thistle with green fractionation. Givaudan says it offers a new, holistic approach to ageing, leveraging the emerging concept of ‘OxInflammation’, the vicious cycle connecting oxidative stress and inflammation. In recent years, the perception


of skin care and ageing has evolved towards a more positive and resilient approach known as “pre- ageing”.


This approach emphasises the importance of self-care, focusing on prevention and overall wellbeing. It recognises the link between


positive emotional wellbeing and skin condition, promoting skin health and longevity. The exposome - the set of extrinsic aggressors to which our skin is exposed - is an important factor challenging skin health and longevity. It encompasses UV radiation and pollution, which disrupt the skin’s delicate ‘OxInflammation’ balance - the interconnection of two key biological pathways. These factors can have a damaging cumulative effect on skin health and emotional balance. Silybidiol binds to cannabinoid


receptors in the skin and activates cellular crosstalk leading to the activation of skin defences and detoxification pathways to effectively maintain ‘OxInflammation’ balance and promote wellbeing. Clinically tested versus placebo and CBD, on volunteers exposed to photo-pollution, Silybidiol is claimed to offer: a drastic improvement in skin homogeneity (2.7x better than CBD), enhanced skin radiance (1.6x better than CBD).
