Introduction<\/h3>\n

The cosmetics market is changing rapidly: plant extracts, biotechnologically derived peptides and clever encapsulations are enabling completely new skincare experiences. Our \u2018Active Ingredient Update 2025\u2019 summarises the most promising innovations of 2025 to date, explains their origins, advantages and applications, and shows how they can be used in modern formulations.<\/p>\n

Active Ingredient Update 2025 \u2013 DandErase<\/h3>\n

Occurrence & botany<\/strong><\/p>\n

DandErase\u2122 is obtained from upcycled saffron (Crocus sativus) flowers. These delicate purple autumn bloomers grow to a height of only 10\u201330 cm, thrive in the Mediterranean region and normally provide the precious spice.<\/p>\n

Production<\/strong><\/p>\n

A concentrate with a high flavonoid content is obtained from the petals using an aqueous glycerine extraction process. This process is sustainable as the stigmas have already been removed for the spice market.<\/p>\n

Advantages & benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Inhibits Malassezia yeasts as effectively as piroctone olamine.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Soothes itching and strengthens the scalp barrier.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Results after just three shampoo applications<\/p>\n

Other applications: Leave-on tonics or dry anti-dandruff sprays.<\/p>\n

Update 2025: Longevity complex (Megassane\u00ae, Revivyl\u2122, Yogurtene\u00ae Balance, Chronoglow\u2122).<\/h3>\n

Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Megassane\u00ae: Phaeodactylum tricornutum microalgae from coastal saltwater cultures<\/p>\n

\u2022 Revivyl\u2122: Summerwort (Orobanche rapum), a parasitic plant native to the Mediterranean region.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Yogurtene\u00ae Balance: yoghurt ferment plus inulin from chicory roots<\/p>\n

\u2022 Chronoglow\u2122: \u2018resurrection plant\u2019 Haberlea rhodopensis from the Rhodope Mountains<\/p>\n

Production & effects<\/strong><\/p>\n

Micro-flash drying or glycerite extraction preserve the sensitive phyto-molecules. The four active ingredients work as a team: protein homeostasis (Megassane\u00ae), accelerated skin renewal (Revivyl\u2122), balanced microbiota (Yogurtene\u00ae Balance) and an epigenetic freshness boost (Chronoglow\u2122). Ideal for serums, overnight masks or concentrates for skin cycling.<\/p>\n

Active ingredient update 2025: Oximony\u00ae.<\/h3>\n

Extract from yellow loosestrife (Lysimachia christinae), which grows wild in the mountain forests of Sichuan and is FairWild certified. The polyphenols, saponins and the \u2018longevity co-factor\u2019 taurine it contains combat cell senescence, increase skin firmness and give a radiant complexion. Perfect for holistic well-aging lines.<\/p>\n

Active ingredient update 2025 \u2013 Proteasyl\u00ae.<\/h3>\n

Hydrolysed pea protein provides over 400 defined peptides. In shampoos and conditioners (0.05%), it reduced hair loss in women by almost 50% within 12 weeks and soothed irritated scalps.<\/p>\n

Active ingredient update 2025: Kerasylium\u2122.<\/h3>\n

Upcycled extract from milk thistle seeds (Silybum marianum). Its peptide-rich matrix is similar to keratin and provides a \u2018lash lift\u2019 effect: thicker, shinier eyelashes and eyebrows within two weeks. A vegan alternative to animal keratin.<\/p>\n

Active ingredient update 2025: AQStem Atacama and StemCem Quillay.<\/h3>\n

Two stem cell elixirs from extremely resilient plants: Cistanthe grandiflora from the Atacama Desert (aquaporin booster for instant moisture) and Quillaja saponaria tree cells (filaggrin stimulator for greater density). The perfect partners for climate-adaptive skincare products.<\/p>\n

Active ingredient update 2025 \u2013 Hylasome\u2122 EG 10: chemically cross-linked hyaluronic acid with an \u2018infinite\u2019 molecular weight.<\/h3>\n

Chemically cross-linked hyaluronic acid with an \u2018infinite\u2019 molecular weight. It forms an invisible gel network that binds water up to five times longer than conventional HA and also traps free radicals. For long-lasting dewy skin.<\/p>\n

Active ingredient update 2025 \u2013 Hydrating Hair Active Combo<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Fision\u00ae HydraTress (quinoa and pea peptides + 7-fold HA): \u2013 Anti-frizz and improved wet combability.<\/p>\n

\u2022 EssentiaTein\u00ae Protect (rice, baobab, amaranth): UV protection for cuticle proteins.<\/p>\n

\u2022 PatcH\u2082O\u00ae: Biopolymer micro-moisture network soothes itchy scalp.<\/p>\n

\u2022 HyaClear\u00ae 7: Deeply hydrating HA mix.<\/p>\n

Together, they form a complete \u2018roots-to-tips\u2019 hydration cocktail.<\/p>\n

Active ingredient update 2025: encapsulated UV filters and TRIsol\u2122 KCP.<\/h3>\n

SUNSIL silica capsules distribute lipophilic filters evenly, even in the water phase, and ensure a lighter skin film and higher SPF (test: +6% in an SPF 50 formulation). TRIsol\u2122 KCP (potassium cetyl phosphate) stabilises high-SPF emulsions, reduces TEWL and is solvent-free. Must-haves for modern, environmentally friendly sun care.<\/p>\n

Active ingredient update 2025 \u2013 ALTER-Captessence.<\/h3>\n

A powder made from Breton kaolin and bamboo absorbs up to 20% perfume oil, does not clump and has a pleasant mattifying effect. It can be used to produce alcohol-free perfume powders or dry shampoos with a long-lasting fragrance.<\/p>\n
