IMCD BEAUTY & PERSONAL CARE
Biomimetic Concepts
Made in our Skin Care Excellence Center
O/W lamellar emulsions
3 prototypes featuring the same biomimetic emulsion system, each customed with various sensorial enhancers and biomimetic actives. The emulsion is obtained with an alpha-gel emulsifier that provides a multilamellar structure, mimicking skin and hair intercellular lipid structure to protect and strengthen their barrier function.
SECOND SKIN PRIMER
A smooth delicate refreshing cream enhancing the skin barrier and ensuring its long-lasting moisturisation.
These rice derived ceramides act as a skin barrier enhancer and long-lasting moisturiser by increasing skin ceramides content into the stratum corneum, which play a key role in its structure and quality.
FRESH CELL ENERGIZER
A sorbet-like cream boosting skin cells metabolism to maintain skin firmness and elasticity.
KEY BIOMIMETIC ACTIVE : Glycerin, Aqua, Sodium Mannose Phosphate and Mannose
A plant-based cell nutrient-like active, a biomimetic source of energy to weakened & older cells to promote skin matrix restructuring. Its activity on the lower layer of the dermis provides global rejuvenation benefits.
SHIELD & REP'HAIR CREAM
A leave-on protecting and conditioning hair milk, restoring the hair barrier by mimicking its structure.
An association of vegetal protein and oil components mimicking the hair barrier structure: adsorbing on damaged hair cuticle selectively, it repairs its structure for protective and conditioning benefits.
W/O liquid crystals emulsions
3 prototypes featuring the same biomimetic emulsion system, each customed with various sensorial enhancers and biomimetic actives. The emulsion is made with an olive oil-derived emulsifier that creates liquid crystals within the emulsion, mimicking the stratum corneum structure and better retaining water for a long-lasting moisturisation.
YOUTH REVOLUTION CREAM
A fluid cream with powerful antioxidant and anti-wrinkles properties.
A vitamin-derived ester that effectively reduces skin wrinkles, promotes collagen synthesis and scavenges active oxygen species. Low skin irritation potential (no retinoic acid released).
SMOOTHING MILKY LOTION
A nourishing fluid milk repairing the skin barrier and promoting skin moisturisation.
Sterols enriched vegetal butter, combining the protective effects of essential fatty acids and the properties of sterols for a enhanced skin barrier and a healthier skin. It promotes skin moisture, elasticity and smoothness, as well as TEWL reduction.
SKIN MATRIX PERFECTOR
A low viscosity cream stimulating cell growth to improve the skin firmness and elasticity.
EGF-like skin care active peptide derived from a naturally occurring skin protein that fights saggy skin, reduces fine lines and stretch marks by stimulating keratinocyte proliferation and migration. It induces collagen synthesis while improving skin firmness and elasticity.
