Chemyunion highlights its portfolio of cosmetic ingredients developed using supercritical CO₂ extraction, demonstrating ongoing efforts to reduce environmental impact in raw material production.
Revinage MB Retinoid Alternative
Revinage MB (INCI: Bidens Pilosa Extract (and) Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Oil (and) Gossypium Herbaceum (Cotton) Seed Oil (and) Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Oil) is a plant-derived alternative to retinoids obtained from Bidens pilosa. It reportedly helps to:
- improve the appearance of wrinkles,
- support a more even skin tone, and
- improve lip texture.
According to the company, unlike synthetic retinoids, it is suitable for use on all skin types, including sensitive skin, and does not carry the same potential for irritation.
Physavie 250 MB Skin Soother
Physavie 250 MB (INCI: Physalis Angulata Extract (and) Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) is recommended for sensitive or reactive skin. It has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties comparable to corticosteroids.
COSMOS approved, the ingredient has been shown to support the extracellular matrix while offering protection against environmental stressors such as blue light and infrared radiation, per the company. It can also be incorporated into sun care products to enhance protection without affecting SPF performance.
Agen Epigenetic Collagen Stimulation
Finally, Agen (INCI: Canola Oil (and) Malus Domestica Fruit Extract (and) Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Extract) is described as a synergistic combination of apple extract and supercritical extract of ginger. It acts epigenetically to improve skin firmness and elasticity, and to redensify the skin.
According the the company, by integrating supercritical CO₂ extraction into its development processes, Chemyunion is able to offer high-quality ingredients that meet the demands of both performance and sustainability in cosmetic formulation.
