Evonik Goldschmidt GmbH has extended its portfolio of active ingredients with high quality standardised plant extracts for both skin and hair care.
Evonik Goldschmidt took the opportunity of the recent SCS Formulate exhibition in the UK to introduce its first four new plant extracts: TEGO Galanga, TEGO Policosanol, TEGO Arjuna and TEGO Turmerone.
TEGO Galanga is a natural extract obtained from the roots of Kaempferia galanga. TEGO Galanga is a natural source of ethyl pmethoxycinnamate with a minimum content of 98%. It provides excellent UV absorption and similar benefits in formulation as OMC. It is an ideal ingredient for the protection of hair fibres and hair colour fading when hair is subjected to UV radiation.
TEGO Policosanol is a natural mixture of higher aliphatic alcohols extracted from sugar cane wax. TEGO Policosanol is recommended for oily skin. It provides sebum control benefits and inhibits the growth of microorganisms. TEGO Policosanol contains at least 70% of very long chain fatty alcohols, with 1-octacosanol (C28) as the main component.
TEGO Arjuna is a standardised extract from the heartwood of the Terminalia Arjuna tree. TEGO Arjuna is ideal for anti-ageing formulations. It decreases the depth and the number of deep wrinkles, moisturises the skin, reinforces its barrier function and decreases its scaliness. TEGO Arjuna contains at least 90% of triterpenes of which a minimum of 65% is arjunolic acid.
TEGO Turmerone is the distilled fraction of turmeric oil extracted from the root of Curcuma longa by an environmentally friendly process (supercritical carbon dioxide). TEGO Turmerone is ideal for the improvement of skin radiance and evenness of skin tone. It has significant anti-oxidant activity and induces endogenous cellular defence mechanisms against oxidative stress.
