Ichimaru Pharcos has launched a new cosmetic ingredient, Biobenefity Conc, which the company says is an SDGs-friendly concentrated version of Biobenefity.
Biobenefity is an extract obtained from artichoke leaves. The active compound "Cynaropicrin" suppresses the activation of NF-κB, a key factor in skin aging, and is a popular anti-aging natural ingredient that is expected to prevent pigmentation, photoaging and noticeable pores.
Biobenefity is now available as a new "Biobenefity conc" product, in which the active compound Cynaropicrin content has been increased up to 10-fold, according to the company.
The compact, concentrated form reduces CO2 emissions from transportation, container waste, and storage space, making it an environmentally and SDGs-friendly raw material.
The increased concentration of active compound makes it an easy product to consider for higher dosage in formulations.
Advantages of ‘Conc’ Series
Advantages of the “conc” series include a high concentration of functional ingredients; lower cost per functional ingredient; and a reduction of inventory storage space; CO2 emissions during transportation; and plastic container as waste.
Effects of Biobenefity Series
The effects of biobenefity series include prevention of melanocyte proliferation; whitening; improvement of noticeable pores; and recovery from wrinkles.
Biobenefity Conc is Cosmos approved and IECIC2021 listed.
