Squalane
Squalane is a biomimetic natural lipid that mimics the skin's natural sebum. It acts as an intelligent protective barrier that "seals" in moisture, softens texture, and protects cells from oxidative stress. Thanks to its unique structure, it not only nourishes but also serves as a "conductor" that helps other active ingredients penetrate deeper and act longer. Key benefits of Squalane in skincare: Deep hydration and softness: As a powerful emollient, it replenishes lipid deficiencies, prevents transepidermal water loss, and keeps the skin silky smooth. Photoprotection and anti-aging: Studies show that squalane neutralizes the harmful effects of UVA rays, protects collagen metabolism, and prevents premature aging. Absorption enhancer: It increases the diffusion and transport of other beneficial substances (such as polyphenols), extending their stay in the skin and enhancing their effect. Antioxidant protection: Squalane has protective activity against free radicals and carcinogens, supporting tissue regeneration and healing micro-damages. Soothing effect: It counteracts inflammation and is extremely suitable for sensitive skin, as it is non-irritating and non-comedogenic. Where Squalane is found: Squalane is a key ingredient in facial serums, moisturizing creams, and sunscreens. It can be extracted from natural sources (such as olives or sugarcane) or be in the form of squalene (its more unstable form, which occurs naturally in human skin). It is particularly effective in "water-in-oil" (W/O) formulations, where it maximizes the penetration of active components.

Cucumber (CUCUMIS SATIVUS JUICE)
Cucumber juice is widely used in facial skin care due to its high water content, vitamins, minerals, and soothing compounds. It has a light, refreshing effect that hydrates, soothes, and supports the skin's natural balance without weighing it down or making it oily. Here are the main beneficial components of cucumber juice for the skin:• Water (≈95%): Provides intense hydration, helps refresh the skin, and reduces feelings of dryness and tightness.• Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that supports collagen synthesis, evens out skin tone, and protects the skin from free radicals and pollution.• Vitamin K: Helps reduce dark circles and puffiness around the eyes by improving microcirculation.• Silicon dioxide (silica): Supports skin elasticity and makes it smoother and firmer.• Potassium: Regulates water balance in the skin and aids in moisture retention.• Magnesium: Supports restorative processes and contributes to a healthier skin barrier.• Phytonutrients (flavonoids and tannins): Have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, soothing irritations, redness, and sensitive skin. This combination of ingredients makes cucumber juice excellent for hydrating, refreshing, and soothing the skin, reducing puffiness, and giving the face a fresher, more even, and radiant appearance.

Yogurtene® IO (YOGURT POWDER)
Yogurtene® IO (YOGURT POWDER) is an innovative next-generation prebiotic ingredient for body care products, combining the power of milk fermentation with modern biotechnology. Thanks to its rich composition of proteins, peptides, milk lipids, and bioactive substances, it supports hydration, balances the skin microbiota, and improves the overall appearance and feel of the skin. • Proteins and peptides: Support the restoration of skin structure and stimulate collagen synthesis, improving skin density and firmness. • Milk lipids: Nourish and soften the skin, restoring the lipid barrier and protecting against dryness. • Lactose (prebiotic): Maintains the balance of the skin microbiota, stimulating the development of "good" bacteria and limiting the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. • Lactic acid: Gently exfoliates the skin, promotes cell renewal, and improves smoothness and radiance. • Vitamins and minerals: Nourish the skin and support its natural protective functions, improving its tone and vitality. Mechanism of action on the skin: • Prebiotic action: Balances the skin microflora, reducing unwanted bacteria (such as S. aureus) and supporting beneficial ones (such as S. epidermidis), creating a healthier skin environment. • Anti-aging effect: Improves connections between fibroblasts and collagen fibers, leading to firmer and more elastic skin and visibly reducing wrinkles. • Hydration and softening: Forms a comfortable, nourishing film on the skin, making it softer, smoother, and velvety to the touch. • Deodorizing effect: Reduces volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) responsible for unpleasant odors, making it a suitable ingredient for body products such as shower gels and deodorants. Thanks to this complex effect, Yogurtene® IO is an excellent ingredient in body products – it improves the skin's microbiome, hydrates, smooths, and tightens, while providing comfort and a silky soft feel.
