Active ingredients for innovative product concepts
Cognis helps manufacturers in the personal and home care industry to serve the global wellness trend as well as the preference for green products by supplying actives for innovative consumer products and
well-being concepts.
As a part of the Cognis Group, Laboratoires Sérobiologiques is globally known as one of the leading suppliers of active ingredients for cosmetics, creating advanced concepts and outstanding, high-quality products.
Our raw materials are mainly of botanical origin: exotic plants, fruits and traditional medicinal plants, harvested and processed in line with Cognis sustainability principles. Active fractions are extracted and purified to achieve a variety of cosmetic benefits for skin care and hair care.
Latest product launches also include pure synthetic molecules, to follow more specifically the “cosmeceutical” trend: cosmeceuticals or so-called ‘doctor’ brands have recently enjoyed increasing appeal to consumers because they offer anti-ageing benefits without the need to undergo invasive procedures. To achieve this, a growing number of active ingredients are being incorporated into skincare products.
Cosmetics manufacturers are seeking more effective and innovative cosmetic ingredients, such as peptides, with identified and specific mechanism of action and demonstrable benefits.
Examples from our broad standard range:
Dermican™ and Syniorage™ are peptides with an advanced anti-ageing effect working complementarily at two levels. Dermican™ is effective at dermis level to optimize collagen fibers functionality, whereas Syniorage™ works at epidermis level to restore the radiance and firmness of mature skin, particularly meeting the requirements of the “silver generation”.
In parallel with the rise of ever more efficient actives, a special attention should be paid to constantly ensure a perfect skin tolerance.
Skinasensyl™ is a pure tetrapeptide with an innovative and targeted mechanism especially designed for people with sensitive skin. Skinasensyl™ is positioned as a new generation cosmeceutical ingredient with a ‘pain-killer’ effect, which now allows sensitive skin to have its own advanced skincare products.
Actiwhite™ is a tailor-made whitener that offers a different mechanism compared to traditional direct tyrosinase inhibition. Actiwhite™’s high capacity to decrease melanogenesis is linked to a decrease of tyrosinase activity in melanocytes and also to an inhibition of melanosome maturation. This dual biological pathway results in an enhanced whitening efficacy, while visibly achieving lightening compared to market benchmarks. In addition, Actiwhite™ is perfectly tolerated by skin, allowing daily use, is stable and will not impact the color of formulations.
