After one year of partnering with the South Korean beauty innovation company, BIO-FD&C, Givaudan Active Beauty unveils two new active ingredients crafted by green biotechnology.
K-phyto [SC] Camellia is a powerful active obtained from Camellia phytoplacenta cells culture. By using plant cell culture, the teams scientists have been able to isolate and replicate these cells from a Camellia flower (traditionally used in Asia for its scalp care and hair conditioning properties), originating from the famous Korean Jeju Island, without endangering Natures resources. This unique active will increase the scalp moisture content, up to +13.8%, reinforce the epidermal cohesion of the scalp keratinocytes, resulting in a reduced number of dry flakes and dandruffs down to -33.6%, and significantly soothe the scalp, with a reduction of its erythema down to -6.6%.
K-phyto [PP] GHK is an innovative molecule that combines the best of botanicals and peptides to act on sebum productions mechanisms. Thanks to the phytopeptide technology (combining a peptide with a natural phytochemical molecule), it offers a full set of actions, starting with preserved antioxidant and anti-ageing activities compared to the initial molecules (caffeic acid and matrikine GHK). Clinical studies have shown significant benefits (versus placebo) on reduction of the facial sebum production in just 2 weeks (-35.5%), with an even more impressive efficacy after one month of use (67.5%), up to five times better than placebo.
