BergaCare AquaLipids are the latest solution to easily incorporate highly appreciated active oils into various cosmetic formulations and concepts without the need of using solubilizers or any other auxiliary substances. Actives oils are usually rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and therefore support the cell-renewal or fight inflammtion. However, making them easily available in formulations requires several steps in the manufacturing and the use of solubilizers may lead to foaming or tackiness after application. The new add-in approach can facilitate the incorporation of active oils like the BergaCare AquaLipids Bisabolol AR containing alpha-bisabolol and rice bran oil. Bisabolol is known from chamomile for its anti-inflammatory effect and promotes the healing of skin. Rice bran oil and phytosterols from sunflower act additionally soothing, especially on barrier-damaged skin.

The new add-in approach can facilitate the incorporation of active oils like the BergaCare AquaLipids Cassis BR containing blackcurrant seed oil and rosehip seed oil. Both contain especially high concentrations of alpha- and gamma-linolenic acids as well as linoleic acid. They readily penetrate the skin to strengthen its protective barrier and rebalance sebum production making it the ideal combination for oily skin.

The new add-in approach can facilitate the incorporation of active oils like the BergaCare AquaLipids Melon BK containing kalahari melon seed oil and bulbine frutescens leaf juice. While kalahari melon seed oil contains a high proportion of linoleic acid, which helps the skin maintain its hydration, bulbine frutescens leaf juice boosts collagen synthesis and has wound healing properties. Both ingredients are derived from very robust plants that can be found in the deserts of Southern Africa.

The new add-in approach can facilitate the incorporation of active oils like the BergaCare AquaLipids Punica PS containing pomegranate and sea buckthorn seed oil. Pomegranate seed oil contains the highly beneficial punicic acid, which has a powerful antioxidant effect and thus helps counteract skin ageing in mature skin. It also contains numerous skin regenerating substances such as phytosterols, polyphenols and flavonoids. Sea buckthorn oil is rich in palmitoleic acid that acts regenerative in aged skin.

SmartLipids are the latest generation of nano lipid carriers developed to improve dermal and cosmetic formulations. Modern delivery systems are intended to overcome common issues when working with lipo-soluble active ingredients such as stable incorporation, good bioavailability, high active loading, controlled release and supporting the natural skin barrier. With BergaCare SmartLipids Bakuchiol we offer a water-dispersible suspension of encapsulated Bakuchiol. Bakuchiol is known to be a natural alternative to retinol which reduces fine lines and wrinkles, boosts skin elasticity and firmness, prevents lipid peroxidation, fights oxidative stress, reduces dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and improves skin radiance. It can be formulated in a variety of leave-on products like lotions, creams or serums with in-vivo proven efficacy.

BergaCare SmartLipids Q10 combines the well-known anti-aging active of coenzyme Q10 (Ubichinon-10) and the SmartLipids encapsualtion technology. The body‘s own coenzyme Q10 plays an essential role in cell supply and in the cell membranes. It acts as a biocatalyst in the body's cells and is a vital component for functioning metabolic processes. The bioavailability can be improved due to the lipid carrier system building a semi-occlusive film on the skin.

BergaCare SmartLipids Retinol offer the number one anti-aging and antioxidant active with improved chemical stability due to the lipidic matrix to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and enhance pore refinement. The lipid encapsulation and with that the time-retarded and prolonged release of the active prevents from skin redness and discomfort.

Phospholipids are very popular in natural cosmetic products because of their multifunctional properties. Due to their amphiphilic structure, they can be used in emulsions, but also to produce liposomes. Lecithin, or rather the fractions of phosphatidylcholine it contains, are known to enhance the penetration of formulation active ingredients through the stratum corneum and into deeper skin layers. Phosphatidylcholine is rich in unsaturated essential fatty acids and therefore provide nutrients to the skin. The high content linolenic acid further support the good sebum quality in acne-probe skin.

Phospholipids are very popular in natural cosmetic products because of their multifunctional properties. Due to their amphiphilic structure, they can be used in emulsions, but also to produce liposomes. Lecithin, or rather the fractions of phosphatidylcholine it contains, has two special functions in cosmetic formulations. Firstly, the hydrogenated and therefore more oxidation-stable variants form lamellar structures, so-called dermo-membrane structures, which are suitable as natural o/w or w/o emulsifiers. On the other hand, the lamellar structures provide caring sensory properties and protect the skin barrier in a natural way. BergaSom Soy 75 H is one example from the BergaSom range for the possible use of phospholipids as a natural and very well skin-compatible emulsifier.

For more than 40 years, glycolic acid has been predominately produced either by the carbonylation of formaldehyde or with glycolonitrile as a starting material. Both processes leave residual traces of formaldehyde in the finished commercial product. Glycolic acid supplied by CrossChem does not use formaldehyde, while delivering a high-purity glycolic acid for today’s personal care formulations. When used as mechanical peeling agent in skin products, it will efficiently support the natural desquamation process and keratolysis leading to an increased cell turnover, hence a smooth, radiant and glowy skin tone. The efficacy strongly depends on the use concentration in relation to the formulation’s pH value. When used in hair care products, GlyAcid® 70 HP will smoothen the surface of the hair cuticle which provides shine, less frizz in humid environment and easier combing.
