6 NEWS Active clears age-promoting cells
A novel concept known as ‘senolytics’ helps to clear tissues of senescent cells in order to reduce inflammation and rejuvenate the tissue. For the first time, the concept of senolytics has been applied in the cosmetic field. Alpine Rose Active from
Mibelle Biochemistry was shown to act as a senolytic by reducing the number of senescent cells while not affecting the number of healthy cells.
The alpine rose
(Rhododendron ferrugineum) is one of the most typical and prominent Swiss alpine plants. It grows at high altitudes and has developed impressive strategies to protect itself against dehydration and the attack of radicals and pathogens. Due to the difficulty of cultivating the alpine rose, Mibelle Biochemistry collaborates with organic farmers in the Swiss Alps who harvest the
Alpine Rose Active has been
precious leaves of the alpine rose carefully by hand. The practice is completely sustainable as the leaves are regenerated the following year.
Next-generation preservation booster
Clariant has expanded the Personal Care industry’s increasingly-limited preservation options for both traditional and natural formulations with the launch of next generation preservation booster, Velsan Flex. The 93% RCI (Renewable
Carbon Index) innovation is highly versatile and effective in combination with all preservative types, enabling a reduction of typical preservative by as much as 50% while still achieving safe antimicrobial protection for cosmetics. Velsan Flex, the latest
addition to Clariant’s range of preservation boosters, steps in to offer formulators effective all-round support to these challenges.
Ensuring antimicrobial
protection with up to 50% less traditional preservative, such as benzoic acid, benzyl alcohol or phenoxyethanol, for a broad range of cosmetic formulations, Clariant is helping formulators with sample formulations focused on on-trend natural formulations and clear formats which are particularly difficult to preserve. Velsan Flex overcomes the challenges of clear applications with
extremely high water content, as in the case of micellar gel, those with both high water and active content, as for a tonic water formulation, and in clear aqueous formulations containing oil and fragrances with low preservative load, such as a nourishing shower gel.
Natural content is increased
in formulations from the outset as Velsan Flex is derived from the glucose syrup of renewable corn and palm kernel oil available in RSPO Mass Balance certified quality. The ingredient is ISO 16128 compliant and approved by COSMOS, supporting opportunities to boost the performance of preservatives accepted for naturally certified formulations.
Full capacity for increased demand
Fragranced products are used to clean and disinfect homes, hospitals, food processing plants, and myriad industrial and commercial settings every day. Production is especially critical now to meet the sudden increased retail demand. Fragrance masks odors in
cleaning products that would otherwise carry unpleasant smells that can render products unusable. Pleasant aromas encourage the use of cleaning and sanitizing
products - a critical public health need. When dealing with invisible pathogens, people know surfaces, hands, and spaces are clean based on how they smell. Orchidia Fragrances, a
fragrance manufacturer based in Downers Grove, Illinois is doing its part to keep the supply chain intact. The company is functioning at full capacity by instituting an operational and sanitation response plan that is reviewed and updated daily

based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), federal, state, and local health experts and in accordance with industry best practices. Executive vice president, Ross Sprovieri, said “I sincerely believe in our company’s obligation and role as an essential business and we’re committed to fulfilling this obligation without compromising the safety and wellbeing of our employees.”
shown to: inhibit UVA-induced photo-aging (protein carbonylation); exhibit a senolytic effect: it eliminates senescent cells while not affecting healthy cells in a negative way which rejuvenates the entire tissue as senescent cells contribute to skin inflammation and aging; significantly reduce skin redness and increase skin elasticity.
