African Potato Extract
African Potato Extract is derived from the plant Hypoxis hemerocallidea, a medicinal plant native to southern Africa. It is commonly used in traditional African medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting properties. The active compound in the extract is hypoxoside, which is converted in the body to rooperol, a potent antioxidant. African Potato Extract is often used as a complementary treatment for conditions like arthritis, prostate issues, and certain infections, though scientific evidence on its effectiveness is still limited.
Ammonium Lactate
Ammonium Lactate is the ammonium salt of lactic acid, appearing as a clear, hygroscopic liquid or syrupy solution. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries primarily for its moisturizing, pH adjusting, and antimicrobial properties. In topical formulations, it acts as a keratolytic agent to help exfoliate and hydrate skin, making it popular in treatments for dry, scaly, or ichthyotic skin conditions. Its biocompatibility and mild acidic nature make it a versatile ingredient in various industrial and personal care products.
Beta Carotene
Beta Carotene is a concentrated formulation of beta carotene, a naturally occurring red-orange pigment found in plants and fruits. It is a precursor to vitamin A and a potent antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative damage. This product, typically suspended in an oil base or suitable carrier, is widely used as a natural colorant, nutritional supplement, and cosmetic ingredient. Beta Carotene 30% SUN offers enhanced stability under sunlight exposure, making it ideal for food, feed, and cosmetic applications where light stability is critical.
Fish Collagen
Fish Collagen is a natural protein derived from the skin, scales, and bones of various fish species through enzymatic hydrolysis or acid extraction. It is predominantly Type I collagen, known for its excellent bioavailability and biocompatibility. Fish Collagen typically appears as a fine white to off-white powder with low odor and high solubility in water and acidic solutions. It is widely prized in cosmetics, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and food industries due to its superior absorption compared to mammalian collagen, making it highly effective in skin, joint, and bone health applications. Fish Collagen supports the body’s extracellular matrix, promoting skin elasticity, hydration, and tissue repair.
Natural Beta carotene food grade
Natural Beta Carotene Food Grade is a naturally derived carotenoid pigment obtained from sources such as algae, carrots, palm oil, and other vegetables. It is a powerful antioxidant and a precursor to vitamin A (provitamin A), essential for human health. This bright orange-red pigment is widely used as a natural colorant in food, beverages, dietary supplements, and cosmetics. Its antioxidant properties help protect cells from oxidative damage, supporting immune function, eye health, and skin vitality.
Silk Proteins
Silk Proteins are hydrolyzed proteins derived from natural silk fibers, typically composed of fibroin and sericin. They are water-soluble, bioactive compounds known for their excellent film-forming, moisture-retaining, and conditioning properties. Silk proteins are widely used in cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and textiles due to their biocompatibility, smooth texture, and ability to penetrate and protect surfaces like skin, hair, and fabric.
Sodium Hydrogen Sulphite Extra Pure
Sodium Hydrogen Sulphite Extra Pure is a white to pale yellow crystalline powder with a pungent sulfur dioxide odor.
