Engelhard Corporation has launched a new, natural anti-oxidant delivery system for protecting skin from environmental stresses such as UVB rays.
Phenoline vectors are based on agar – a seaweed extraction – that encapsulates the benefits of flowers and fruit in their natural form. Green tea, mimosa, strawberry and blueberry microcapsules penetrate the superficial layers of the skin and gradually open in response to enzymatic action.
“This new technology enables more universal applications of the protective and draining properties of polyphenols for the cosmetics industry,” said Frank Freiler, Englhard general manager, personal care materials. “Our exclusive encapsulation technology can stabilise a wide range of different types of polyphenols from various origins universally and rapidly.”
Commercially available as gel-like triglycerides, Phenoline vectors deliver protective, draining polyphenol molecules into the skin for enduring care and protection. Phenoline vectors do not cause discoloration or reduce the effectiveness of other skin care product formulas due to oxidation.
