MACKERNIUM® HQ-1000 is a polymeric quaternary ammonium salt of hydroxyethyl cellulose that offers moderate viscosity building. Its cationic nature makes it substantive to hair, providing excellent conditioning, combability, and anti-static benefits in shampoos and conditioners. In skin cleansers, MACKERNIUM® HQ-1000 imparts softness and slip for an improved sensory experience.

Synoxyl® AZ is a high-purity (≥99%) multi-targeted anti-aging active developed to both prevent premature skin aging and visibly reverse signs of photo-damage. Designed to work proactively, Synoxyl® AZ helps protect the skin from environmental stressors while supporting its natural ability to preserve and repair the extracellular matrix (ECM)—a critical component for maintaining firmness, elasticity, and overall skin health.

In addition to its anti-aging efficacy, Synoxyl® AZ promotes microbiome balance by enhancing microbial diversity and stimulating the growth of beneficial skin flora such as Staphylococcus epidermidis by over 20%, contributing to a more resilient, healthier-looking complexion.

Hydra Synol® DOI is a well-defined compound, lipophilic with excellent skin feel and is completely odorless. It is a smart skin hydrator and barrier builder that intelligently provides optimum hydration based on skin
moisture content/deficit.

Key Features:

• Clinically shown to be very effective in providing long-lasting (>48 hrs.) and controlled skin hydration.
• The beneficial effects on the skin can be explained by the up-regulation of AQP3, CD44 (hyaluronic acid receptor) and tight junction genes, decrease of which is associated with a defective osmotic equilibrium in the epidermis and dryness of chronically and photoaged skin.
• It stimulates ceramide synthase 3, key enzyme responsible for Ceramide boosting.
• DOI has unique anti-inflammatory properties, works by inhibiting TRPA1, TSLP, TRPV3, IL1β and TNFα pathways.

Sytheon limited was purchased in November 2024 and their line of products including this one is now available within the Hallstar Beauty portfolio.

The product you’ve been looking for, biotechnology-based, vegan, skin identical collagen!

Consumers understand that collagen is important for the youthful appearance of their skin, but trends towards ethical/conscious beauty, clean beauty, and vegan beauty are challenging traditional, animal-based collagen sourcing. Vecollage Fortify L delivers science-based performance benefits through in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies. Produced by precision fermentation, this product provides an optimal balance for both protecting collagen and other extracellular matrix components and stimulating biosynthesis of collagen in the skin.

Benefits at a glance

• Protects & fortifies the skin matrix
• Inhibits ECM degrading enzymes
• Stimulates the biosynthesis of procollagen I
• Increases the collagen content in the skin

A tannin-rich active ingredient for oily and combination skin obtained from the leaves of Ñangapirí, a plant native to the Misiones rainforest in Argentina. Oleobiota has a sebonormalizing and mattifying action that modulates the oily microenvironments of the skin and scalp, balancing the microbiota. In addition, it minimizes pore visibility and promotes gentle cleansing of skin oiliness.

Oleobiota is a part of a triple impact project Novechem is working on with the Huellas para un Futuro Foundation that promotes the following benefits in regions of the Misiones rainforest:

• Social and economic development of the region
• Sustainable agricultural development
• Restoration of native forests
• Care and preservation of the biodiversity

Evonik acquired Novachem on June 30, 2023 to boost their sustainable cosmetic active ingredients portfolio which will be integrated into the Evonik’s Personal Care line.

An active created from a biotech process that results in yeast-free amino acids. The amino acids act in synergy resulting in skin hydration, osmoprotection, and balance in the skin barrier function.

The process by which these amino acids are obtained is through a natural extraction process known as autolysis from yeast. Within the autolysis process, Hydraskin is created from the intracellular components of the yeast, and the hair active, Extracell PLEX, is created from the protein components of the cell wall, two for the price of one!

Additional Benefits:

• Holds natural hydration fro prolonged time (72 hours)
• Postbiotic properties
• Usage level: 1-5%

Bluescreen is an active composed of native plants from Patagonia that protect against digital pollution. It has an absorbance against the wavelength from 200 – 500nm. These wavelengths can be found in HEV (High Energy visible: components of solar radiation (UVA-UVB) and digital devices). These types of wavelengths are known to cause loss of elasticity, wrinkles, spots, and photo aging. Bluescreen generates a continuous structure of the dermoepidermal to help fight against the photoaging effects of digital pollution.

Through in vivo testing at 5% usage level for 28 days, they observed:

• 6.5% decrease in erythema
• 67% decrease in TEWL
• 38% increase in dermal density

Suggested usage level from 1-5%.
