Stem cells boost wellbeing


Vytrus Biotech has launched a new ingredient, Kannabia SensePLF. It consists of the first natural active ingredient made from Cannabis sativaplant stem cells. This active interacts with the skin microbiota's postbiotic generation to modulate the skin neurochemical networks and enhance the feeling of comfort and self-confidence through the Microbiota-Skin-Brain Axis (MSBA).


This active ingredient


presents, as a differentiating and relevant fact, that it gets away from the narcotic concept, as it is free of the cannabinoids Cannabidiol (CBD) and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in its composition. It has been developed using an innovative Phyto-Lipidic Fractions technology based on a process designed to enrich cell culture in signaling lipids that activate the Microbiota-Skin-Brain axis (MSBA). The mechanism of action of


the active consists of stimulating the skin microbiota so that its bacteria, in a natural way, produce a postbiotic cocktail that stimulates the synthesis of cutaneous oxytocin that ignites a systemic wellbeing response, resulting in a healthier and stronger appearance for the skin.


Increasing thickeners for sanitizers


Lubrizol Advanced Materials has announced that it has increased production of its patented Carbopol polymers, a thickening agent found in most hand sanitizing gels and cleansing applications, to assist with the global fight against COVID-19. Since early January, the


company has modified and expanded production, and consulted with customers on new formulations, allowing them to triple the amount of hand sanitizer ingredients they can supply customers. This will enable 1 billion bottles of hand sanitizer every month to be delivered to the healthcare industry, first responders and consumers around the world. Two years ago, Lubrizol


invested more than $20 million May 2020


USD to increase supply capabilities enabling the ramped-up production of Carbopol. “Across the globe, hospitals,


as well as the consumer market, are facing an unprecedented shortage of hand sanitizer," said Bernardo Medeiros, general manager of Lubrizol Life Science, Beauty and Home. “Consistent with our message to improve lives, we have collaborated with our key customers, suppliers, partners and our global logistics network to provide the essential ingredients and solutions to help fight this pandemic. The use of Carbopol is just one example of how Lubrizol is leveraging its science to support COVID-19 needs globally."
