Potentials of clays

Clay masks are mainly well-known for their natural purifying properties. One of the markers used to indicate the degree of skin purity is the number of bacterial porphyrins present in the skin.

Choosing the right additives

As customers become better informed, their expectations of their care brands are getting higher. To meet the demand for effective but “clean” products, the use of additives is increasingly becoming a long-term strategic decision.

Sustainable stabilisation

If you want to manufacture products on a sustainable basis, you should also pay attention to microplastics in the formulations. To reduce the proportion of synthetic polymers that are difficult to degrade, other stabilisation systems, for example based on microcrystalline cellulose, can be used.

Precise delivery of actives

Liposomes are used so that active ingredients can penetrate exactly into the skin layer intended for them and act there. Daniel Pando and Dr Jörg Oliver Schmitz talk about their different capabilities depending on the size and composition of the Liposomes.
