NEWS Seanactiv for stressed eyes


BASF Care Creations has launched Seanactiv, an organic, marine algae-derived ingredient for rapid improvement in eye contour appearance. Seanactiv is sourced from Fucus vesiculosus, more commonly known as bladder wrack, an organism that lives underwater, on rocks or in sand at different times, making it resistant to different conditions and temperature variations. The algae are harvested manually


in line with good practice to ensure regeneration of the biomass, and are extracted via a gentle, selective procedure. The active fucoidan molecule present in them has long


been used for its beneficial properties in food, health and beauty. The product is soluble in water, is of 99.8% natural origin and complies with the COSMOS standard for natural and organic cosmetics. In a clinical study with 24 female


volunteers aged 18-65, Seanactiv formulated at 1% in a cream was shown to improve the appearance of dark circles within one week. Skin pigmentation intensity was 11% reduced and skin roughness 14% reduced leading to a visible improvement in the appearance of crows’ feet wrinkles. It also visibly improved skin luminosity in the eye area, the company said.


Beiersdorf enters post-acne markets


Beiersdorf’s dermocosmetics brand, Eucerin, is starting the global launch of two additional products from its Dermopure series for acne-prone skin. The company said that a combination of these “offers an effective solution to reduce and prevent post-acne marks and blemishes and to control shine”. “By focusing on post-acne marks, we are


entering a completely new market. This skin condition affects large numbers of people worldwide, with a severe impact on their psychological well-being,” said Patrick Rasquinet, a member of the company’s executive board for pharmacy and selective brands Dermopure Triple Effect Serum contains


thiamidol, which counteracts and reverses post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that can occur in acne sufferers by addressing the root cause, the formation of excess melanin in the skin. This is the first time thiamidol has been used in acne treatment. The product also contains salicylic acid to reduce blemishes. Dermopure Protective Fluid SPF 30,


meanwhile, contains filters to block UVA and UVB with a sun protection factor of 30, plus antibacterial decanediol to help prevent blemishes. Both products also contain licochalcone A to prevent new blemishes from appearing and sebum regulation technology to leave the skin with a long-lasting matte look.
