Fabric Cleaning with Care Effect: X-in-1 Detergents with Glucamide Read the full article written by Christine Oberbillig and Svea Braak from Clariant published in #SOFW Journal issue Oktober 2024. Abstract: Consumers today seek laundry products that care equally for their fabrics, the environment, and their well-being, and around this new interpretation of the growing trend for self-care, consumers want their clothes to feel as enriched and sensual as their well-cared-for skin.  This new post-pandemic self-care trend coincides with the desire to focus on things in life that matter, while limiting the time spent on household care. This translates into an increasing demand for multifunctional detergents that simplify chores, conserve resources and align with consumers expectations around wellbeing. With Sunfloweroyl Methylglucamide (GlucoPure® Sense) Clariant provides laundry detergent brands a unique, multifunctional sugar surfactant that address these needs. It serves as a versatile ingredient for X-in-1 detergents, merging robust cleaning power with superior secondary fabric care benefits. This innovative surfactant technology leads to noticeable long-lasting softness of textiles, eliminating the need for the use of additional fabric softeners and for intense ironing of clothes, which allows consumers to save time, energy, and resources while caring for themselves. 👉 go to article: https://lnkd.in/d8357xsE #detergent #laundry #fabriccleaning #cleaning #homecare #textiles

Unveiling the First Ecosystem Ingredient to Offer a Multi-ome Skin Protection Read the full article written by Clara Vigo Xancó, Elizabeth Escudero, Silvia Benito Martínez, PhD, David Manzano Alías, PhD - Provital, published in #SOFW Journal September 2024. Abstract: Just as the world operates as a vast, interconnected network on a global scale, in the intricate complex fabric of an ecosystem; plants, animals, and microorganisms maintain various interkingdom symbiotic relationships that are essential for the balance and vitality of the entire natural system. In a context of green technology development, reverence for nature, and the pursuit of well-being, Provital introduces it's groundbreaking ingredient Shiloxome™, the first real ‘ecosystem’ ingredient, which brings together age-defying benefits while protecting the skin in a multi-omic-proven manner. Crafted through the first-of-its-kind Triplobiome™ Technology, this active ingredient stems from isolating the endophytic yeast Kwoniella mangroviensis found within the protective bark of the cork oak (Quercus suber). Thanks to such symbiotic origin, Shiloxome™ stands as an unparalleled shield, empowering the skin to adapt, thrive, and safeguard itself. In this article, we provide multi-omic evidence for positive antipollution and well-aging activities of this active ingredient. Results show that this endophytic extract produces a clear rejuvenating effect in vitro and in vivo, significantly improving aspects related to skin healthy appearance. Moreover, this new active ingredient maintains the skin’s natural microbiome which will potentially prevent skin alterations caused by pollution and modulates the lipidome profile towards lipids with longer chains and decreased oxidation, thus improving the protective function of the skin barrier in polluted environments. 👉 go to article: https://lnkd.in/dFKFWZue #wellaging #antipollution #skincare

Sunshine in a Bottle: Harnessing the Power of Persicaria tinctoria Extract for Radiant Skin and Enhanced Well-being Read the full article written by M. De Tollenaere, A. Durduret, E. Chapuis, J. Martinez, B. Sennelier-Portet, A. Scandolera and R. Reynaud in SOFW Journal 07/08-2024. Abstract: Givaudan Active Beauty has developed an ingredient derived from Persicaria tinctoria, a botanical species of the buckwheat family, with the purpose of replicating the positive effects of sunlight. This innovative extract is designed to promote well-being and stimulate tanning without the need for actual sun exposure. Its main focus is to address the mood changes that occur during seasonal transitions, particularly in winter, when there is limited sun exposure and lower levels of vitamin D3. Givaudan conducted extensive research using in vitro models of keratinocytes and melanocytes that were co-cultured and ex vivo models to evaluate the pro-pigmenting activity. β-endorphin and oxytocin were quantified in the culture medium of keratinocytes stimulated with the extract. Vitamin D3 production was measured after the grinding of skin explants treated for several days with Persicaria tinctoria extract.  Finally, clinical trials were conducted to demonstrate the extract’s ability to enhance mood and improve skin health. Corroborating the hypothesis that the extract can act as a “molecular sun”, the results demonstrated its ability to significantly increase melanin content up to +66% in skin explants in comparison with placebo cream. In keratinocytes stimulated with the extract, β-endorphins increased by +43% and oxytocin by +229%. Vitamin D3 production rose significantly to 86.5%. A positive effect on mood was confirmed in vivo in a panel of volunteers who fill specific questionnaires and said they observed a significant reduction of tiredness and an increase of affectionate mood state, leading to an overall improvement of low mood.  In summary, Persicaria tinctoria extract offers myriad of sun-mimicking benefits including tanning activity, mood-enhancement and vitamin D3 stimulation. This can help address vitamin D deficiency and support overall skin and body health, particularly in regions and seasons with limited sunlight. 👉 go to SOFW Journal 07/08-2024: https://lnkd.in/gBXE-fS #personalcare #skin #sun #tanning #wellbeing #SOFW
