Our Cosmetic Ingredients

In BIODINE V different plants cooperate to mimic the composition and the liquid crystal structure of our skin. The hydrolipidic film of BIODINE V forms together with the skin cells the protective barrier that prevents transepidermal water loss. Sensitive, dry, or damaged skin suffers from a partially destroyed hydrolipidic film. BIODINE V repairs this damage thanks to its similar composition and liquid crystal structure. The effect of BIODINE V is immediate and long-lasting. It is one of the most powerful ingredients to restore the skin.

The skin and the skin microbiota form together a perfect barrier. Both layers need each other and help each other. The skin provides the food, such that the protective microorganisms can thrive. In exchange, the skin microbiome:

• Cleans the skin
• Guards the skin from invaders
• Communicates with our immune system
• Protects the skin from damage
• Repairs the skin
• Conditions the skin

However, the skin microbiome is continuously threatened by the environment. Pollution, antibiotics, and even cosmetics intensively disturb the skin microbiome. This increases the risk of serious skin conditions. Prebiotics are food for the protective microbiota to prevent the skin microbiome from getting out of balance. Therefore, the skin becomes more resilient, lowering the chance of skin problems. On top of that, prebiotics help recover the skin from these skin problems.

GOSULIN® AGAVE is a unique sensorial film former derived in a natural and sustainable way from the nectar of the imaginative blue Agave (botanical name: Agave Tequilana).

For decades, cosmetic products have been focused on the human part of the skin. It was assumed that the skin, our outermost organ, is in direct contact with the environment. This insight needs to be improved, as the skin cells are protected by a mysterious and fascinating layer of microorganisms: the skin microbiota. Both layers need each other and help each other. The skin provides the food, such that the microorganisms can thrive. In exchange, the skin microbiome:

• Cleans the skin
• Guards the skin from invaders
• Communicates with our immune system
• Protects the skin from the damage
• Repairs the skin
• Conditions the skin

However, the skin microbiome is continuously threatened by the environment. Pollution, antibiotics, and even cosmetics seriously disturb the skin microbiome. Fortunately, the skin microbiome bounces back time after time, until they do not, and then the skin is exposed to serious skin conditions. Prebiotics are food for the protective microbiota to prevent the skin microbiome from getting out of balance. Therefore, the skin becomes more resilient, and it lowers the chance of skin problems. On top of that, prebiotics help recover the skin from skin problems.

preBIULIN® AGA is a synergistic union of high molecular weight inulin from chicory and the sustainable agave plant. preBIULIN® AGA is a prebiotic that is like a complete banquet for the protective skin microbiota. With preBIULIN® AGA, the full potential of the skin microbiome is unlocked and the skin remains in perfect health under all circumstances.

preBIULIN® C90 is a revolutionary natural ingredient that outstandingly functions on 4 levels.

• Thickens formulations while preserving beautiful transparency, even in very harsh conditions.
• Provides a luxurious silky skin feel in rinse-off, leave-on, and emulsions.
• Has prebiotic activity, meaning that it prevents the skin microbiome from getting out of balance. The skin microbiome becomes more resilient, and it lowers the chance of skin problems.
• Hydrates in wipe-off formulations.

Being the first barrier, the harsh external environment constantly attacks our skin microbiota. The delicate balance of our skin microbiota is disturbed by pollution, excessive UV radiation, domestic chemicals, and aggressive cosmetics. Their only survival package consists of dead corneocytes, sebum, sweat, and oxidized skin lipids. Sometimes this is simply not enough to cope with the environment. Then the skin microbiota weakens. When this barrier weakens, our skin becomes more sensitive, dry, infected, itchy, and wrinkled: the skin ages. An innovative solution to slow down skin aging and keep the skin in a healthy shape is to energize and protect this precious skin microbiota barrier. preBIULIN® FOS is a scientifically proven prebiotic that makes our skin microbiota and our skin more resistant under all circumstances. Protecting, reinforcing, and balancing the human skin microbiota is an essential strategy for preserving our skin health and beauty.

A prebiotic is a bio-selective food supplement for our protective and beneficial skin microbiota. Unwanted microbes are not supported by the prebiotic, while the protective microbiota is reinforced and balanced. preBIULIN® FOS is such a prebiotic.

preBIULIN® FOS is a hydrolyzed inulin extracted from the chicory root (Cichorium Intybus) and enzymatically purified towards a chain length of ten fructose units and higher. preBIULIN® FOS is the superfood for our protective skin microbiota. It strengthens the skin microbiota and ensures the microbial balance to keep our skin healthy and beautiful. preBIULIN® FOS is substantive to skin and hair, even under rinse-off conditions.

REMYTEC® F cleans the skin without destroying the skin barrier. Therefore, it offers maximum mildness and comfort for the skin. The particle size of the rice is chosen such that it is too large to penetrate the skin and too small to be noticed on the skin. The hard, but unnoticeable rice particles efficiently clean the skin by scrubbing and absorbing the dirt. Cleaning with rice is an excellent safe strategy for keeping the skin barrier intact and for people with an already weakened skin barrier. REMYTEC® F respects nature and respects the skin.

The starting material of REMYTEC® F is rejected rice from all over the world. The upcycled rice is washed, and the outer layer of the rice grain is removed to obtain a white powder. REMYTEC® F-I is irradiated to remove contamination. Alternatively, we supply a natural version, REMYTEC® F-ECO.

REMYTEC® S is a scrub obtained by milling and sieving rice. It results in a white to off-white product. The resulting particles are square-shaped; making the scrub hard enough to exfoliate, but mild enough to offer great comfort to the skin. Moreover, the skin looks healthy and feels soft. In performance, It is an effective beauty exfoliator. REMYTEC® S is incredibly easy-to-use because of its high stability in personal care formulations. It will not affect the viscosity, smell, color, and overall stability. REMYTEC® S allows to formulate microplastic-free, as it replaces PE-beads, while it has the same influence on the final product.
