The creativity, formulation and innovation brought by Xilogel has been recognized by the judging expert panel of the Nutraceutical Business & Technology Awards 2012. The award obtained in the “Innovation in Personal Care” category is given to a research organization or company to honor the development of a novel active or functional component that combines innovative science with proven efficacy.
Xilogel is an extremely well characterized polysaccharide obtained from the seed of tamarind. Clinically, it has shown potent hydrating, elasticizing, anti-wrinkle and re-densifying properties. It is also endowed with a unique sensoriality. Xilogel has been developed as reproducible and safe ingredient of botanical origin for personal care and dermatocosmetic applications and its performances have been compared to the most relevant, effective and commonly used benchmark. The results obtained qualify Xilogel as a green alternative to hyaluronic acid.
“We’re honoured to receive this award,” said Giada Maramaldi, Indena scientific manager for personal care. “The benefits of using Xilogel are multiple and well documented. Thanks to our strong commitment to excellence we succeeded in developing this unique moisturizer of botanical origin from the seed of tamarind which is able to meet the request of a green alternative to hyaluronic acid.”
Xilogel is an extremely well characterized polysaccharide obtained from the seed of tamarind. It forms viscous gels with a unique and sensory feeling and has also been shown in vitro to reduce the markers of aging in aged keratinocytes and to improve the expression of filaggrin, a protein associated with moisture maintainance. Clinically, it has shown strong hydrating, elasticizing, anti-wrinkle and re-densifying properties.
