Promoting high quality plant extracts

Symrise has combined its high quality plant extracts under a new product line called Symrise Actipone. A broad range of beneficial effects make the Actipone plant extracts suitable for use in a large number of cosmetic products.

The goal at Symrise is to continue expanding the Actipone product line. Tapping new sources of natural raw materials that can be developed into patentable extracts is one way in which Symrise has been pursing this objective. Another way has been to conduct screening tests on plant-based active agents already in the company’s repertoire in the hope of finding additional beneficial effects.

In introducing the Actipone product line, Symrise is responding to increasing demand within the cosmetics industry for high-quality, natural active ingredients that have been shown to be effective.

The Symrise Actipone range covers a variety of natural, largely standardised plant extracts from Asia, Europe and Africa. These include herbal extracts (such as Actipone Rosemary), fruit concentrates (such as Actipone Alpha Pulp), tea and coffee extracts (such as Actipone Green Coffee GW), marine plants (Actipone Laminaria Saccharina) and root and flower extracts from traditional Chinese medicine (such as Actipone Honeysuckle Flower [Jin Yin Hua]).

The range of beneficial effects provided by the active agents in these preparations is just as broad, with extracts that combat skin irritations, for instance, act as anti-oxidants or MMP inhibitors, promote skin lightening and improve the properties of hair care products.
