Continuing its quest to develop innovative active ingredients, Greentech is now working even more closely with its sister companies Greensea (marine actives) and Biovitis (microorganisms).
Further to the expansion announced last year, Greentech has grown further to implement two new laboratories. One microbiology laboratory dedicated to microbiological analysis as part of its daily quality assurance process for all its ingredients, and one new R&D laboratory specialising in fermentation technology. Greentech is now creating original actives from the synergy of the botanical and microorganism worlds. in-cosmetics 2014 in Hamburg saw Greentech launch two new brand ranges of actives: the Probiophytes and Ferment’Actives. Probiophyte Fresh is a unique bacterial ferment active, which specifically targets the bacteria that cause body odour without altering normal body flora. Ferment’Actives are ‘super actives’ obtained by customised, controlled fermentation. Ferment’Active Goji Skin protection contains 3.3 times the amount of polyphenols compared to a regular goji extract. Ferment’Active Raspberry Brightening contains 38 times the amount of AHAs compared to a regular raspberry extract, while Ferment’Active Pomegranate Anti-ageing has an antioxidant power 1.5 times greater than a classic pomegranate extract.
