The ancient Reishi mushroom has traditionally been associated with healing properties in Asian regions. BeautiFerm® Healerine takes this ancient elixir to the next level through biotechnology.  The product uses fermentation technology to augment Reishi's powers towards boosting of skin regeneration.  This leads to several anti-aging benefits particularly in pro-aging applications and for skin protection products. 

Key benefits:

  • Accelerates skin re-epithelialization after disruption of the epidermal barrier

BeautiFerm® Lift

Visible skin firming

Borne from unique bacterial organisms found co-evolving among the centennial trees of the Yosemite National Part in the US, BeautiFerm® Lift provides consumers with a solution enabling visible skin firming benefits. It does this by helping to boost the skin's ability to generate important structural elements like collagen and elastin, which together act to support the shape and elasticity of skin. Coming from nature, Beautiferm® Lift is COSMOS approved and from non-GMO fermentation.

Key benefits:

  • Restores the skin‘s firmness, elasticity and texture through collagen-boosting benefits
  • Promotes pro-collagen and elastin synthesis

These in turn yield excellent skin resurfacting benefits.

TEGO® CBD Revitalize 

Give yourself star-power with a scientifically-crafted CBD entourage

Star-power doesn’t happen alone, but rather through an entourage of followers. Similarly, CBD’s magical skin care powers derive not only from the cannabidol, but rather from complementary and synergistic compounds found within the CBD extract itself – its own entourage effect.

It is no secret that US consumers are excited about CBD products, but safety and regulatory concerns surrounding some of the ancillary components of CBD extracts are raising eyebrows. For brands trying to support consumers’ CBD aspirations, deliver tangible skin appearance benefits, and address these regulatory concerns, there is an alternative: scientifically-tailored entourage effects. Evonik’s forthcoming TEGO® CBD Revitalize is an excellent example, enabling CBD consumers to enjoy skin revitalization benefits without regret.

Key Benefits:

  • Promotes a refreshed and youthful skin appearance
  • Supports skin hydration
  • Strengthens the skin’s protective layers
  • Emotional benefits by feeling in harmony with signs of ageing
  • A natural, plant-based, scientifically-crafted ingredient
  • Based on high purity CBD, absent of unwanted constituents
