Givaudan Active Beauty advances micro-encapsulation technology by unveiling Spherulite HA Ultimate. Thanks to vectorisation technology, this sustainable well-ageing active ingredient delivers high molecular weight (HMW) hyaluronic acid (HA) to deeper skin layers.
Spherulite HA Ultimate is dedicated to lip care applications and demonstrates significant instant and long-term plumping benefits. The performance of the active ingredient has been verified by Raman spectroscopy measurement demonstrating its penetration in the stratum corneum and the epidermis up to 50μm. The ingredient is also clinically tested on women and demonstrates significant improvements with its plumping effect at up to 12.4% after 30 minutes and 21.4% at D28.
HA is widely used in well-ageing solutions as it plays a major role in keeping skin hydrated and plumped. The compound is commonly used as a filler for fine lines and wrinkles. However, a majority of consumers remain cautious about injections. Well-informed beauty consumers who prefer the use of skin care products formulated with HA now look for its concentration and other added values as a sign of efficient performance.
Slow release for a long-lasting effect
Marina Egorova, visuals and vectorisation category manager of Active Beauty, comments: “The advanced micro-encapsulation technology of Spherulite allows the vectorisation of HMW HA through multi-layered crystalline microcapsules. The non-ionic nature of the capsule enables it to better penetrate the upper layers of the skin to the target site where pure HA is slowly released for a long-lasting effect. Additionally, the new formulation of Spherulite HA Ultimate is highly sustainable as it contains upcycled natural vitamin E and no preservatives. The natural origin content of the product according to ISO 16128 is 100%.”
The Active Beauty team has formulated an inspiring concept, the HA lip bomb. This lip treatment includes a specific combination of Active Beauty hyaluronic acids from green chemistry, Spherulite HA Ultimate, CristalHyal and PrimalHyal 300, formulated with virgin apricot oil to hydrate and improve lip texture and definition.
