natural extracts and biofunctionals

Health and wellness, including well-aging, along with natural and organic foods and products, are just a few of the growing consumer trends changing the face of today’s personal care market.

Scientists working on Ashland’s Biofunctionals and Naturals line of products, are constantly developing innovative technologies that harness the power of nature to find new biofunctional ingredients that can help fight the visible signs of aging and the negative effects that exposure to airborne pollutants can have on hair and skin.

The Biofunctionals & Naturals ingredient portfolio has been designed with a profound understanding of skin biology and includes botanical ingredients, synthetic peptides and ingredients based on biotechnologies or biosynthesis. At Ashland’s laboratories in Sophia Antipolis, France, a dedicated team of research scientists are continuously investigating skin biology, evaluating ingredient performance, and developing the next generations of biofunctional ingredients. By employing in vitro, ex vivo, and other clinical evaluation methods, we can quickly and effectively substantiate the claims and benefits of this industry-leading portfolio.”
