The in-cosmetics Innovation Zone Best Ingredient Award honours the development of a novel active or functional ingredient that combines innovative science and product features, demonstrating benefits to manufacturers and end-users when compared with existing ingredients.
On 4 November 2016 the awards ceremony took place in the show’s Innovation Zone at in-cosmetics Asia in Bangkok, and a Bronze award was given to Rahn’s new active ingredient Liftonin-Xpert.
Earlier this year the collagen manager received the BSB Innovation Prize for Cosmetics and Raw Materials 2016.
Liftonin-Xpert is an intelligent collagen booster obtained from the leaf sap of the South African medical plant Bulbine frutescens. Smart skin collagen management is essential, because uncontrolled activation of collagen synthesis can lead to the induction of inflammatory processes and the development of low quality collagen. Thanks to the active substances knipholone and acetylated polymannose, the ingredient recalibrates the equilibrium between the decomposition and reconstruction of dermal structures, thus providing the skin with an extra portion of high quality collagen.
