- ALPAFLOR® IMPERATORIA AO
INCI: Peucedanum Ostruthium Leaf Extract (and) Glycerin (and) Aqua (and) Citric Acid (and) Sodium Benzoate (and) Potassium Sorbate
Mixture (preparation) containing active ingredient and auxiliary substances. ALPAFLOR® IMPERATORIA AO is an extract from the Swiss Alpine plant masterwort (P. ostruthium) for cosmetic application. This species is rich in flavonoids, phenolic acids, tannins and sugars. ALPAFLOR® IMPERATORIA AO is certified organic by COSMOS, NATRUE and Fair Trade certified according to the Fair for Life standard.
Formulation Benefits - Hot and Cold ProcessingFormulation Benefits - Low Use LevelSkin Protection - Improves Cell Regeneration - Bakuchiol (Retinol Alternative)
INCI: Bakuchiol
Plant-derived retinol alternative from babchi seeds. Gentle resurfacing without photosensitivity.
- Peptide Complex (Matrixyl-type)
INCI: Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4
Signal peptide for collagen-support claims in premium anti-aging serums and eye care.
- Retinal (Retinaldehyde)
INCI: Retinal
Next-generation retinoid, up to 11x faster than retinol. Requires encapsulation and light protection.
- VERSENE™ NA2 XTL DRY
INCI: Disodium EDTA
This is a partially neutralized salt of EDTA, in dry form. VERSENE Na2 Crystals Chelating Agent is well suited for applications calling for neutral pH or mildly acidic conditions, such as personal care products. Because it is a crystallized product, VERSENE Na2 Crystals contain less impurities than VERSENE 100. It is useful in formulating dry products or where the total water content of a product must be kept to a minimum. Chelating agent. For industrial use only.

INCI: Dimethicone
XIAMETERTM PMX-200 Silicone Fluid, 100,000–1,000,000 cSt is a high-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane polymer primarily used for foam control in nonaqueous processes. In petroleum processing, it provides effective foam control at extremely small addition levels. XIAMETERTM PMX-200 Silicone Fluid is also suitable for use in personal care applications. The high-molecular-weight dimethicone provides easy combing and detangling for wet or dry hair, and adds softness, smoothness and gloss.

XIAMETERTM PMX-200 Silicone Fluid, 50–1,000 cSt is a polydimethylsiloxane polymer manufactured to yield essentially linear polymers in a wide range of average kinematic viscosities. The viscosities generally used in formulating polishes are between 100 and 30,000 cSt. To obtain optimum results, in terms of ease of application and depth of gloss, it is preferable to use a blend of a low-viscosity fluid and a high-viscosity fluid (e.g. 3 parts XIAMETERTM PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 100 cSt and 1 part XIAMETERTM PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 12,500 cSt). The low-viscosity silicone fluid acts as a lubricant to make polish application and rubout easier, whereas the high-viscosity silicone fluid produces a greater depth of gloss. Since these polymers are inherently water-repellent, they will cause water to bead up on a treated surface rather than penetrate the polish film.
