Givaudan has launched Cristalhyal e-Perfection, a patented vectorised complex of bentonite clay and high molecular weight (HMW) hyaluronic acid (HA).
The French firm claims the ingredient can reach “deep epidermal layers which previously seemed impossible”. Clinical trials showed a decrease of fine lines in the crow’s feet area by 27.3% after one month of usage.
Cristalhyal e-Perfection is crafted by white biotechnology and powered by a modification of the electrostatic charges at the HA molecule’s surface.
“Cristalhyal e-Perfection is an exclusive combination of HA and bentonite clay, inspired from ionophoresis (where a device generating electrical micro-currents is used to promote ingredients penetration into the epidermis),” said Amandine Scandolera, head of biological evaluation for Givaudan Active Beauty.
“Thanks to a patented and proprietary process, bentonite clay can be activated to efficiently entrap molecules of HMW HA in the interstitial space of specific lamellar structures,” she added.
“Hyaluronic acid molecules will thus benefit from an electrical attraction from the skin’s deep layers, to a depth of 75 microns.”
The Active Beauty team has formulated a concept, S3D Step Up, to highlight the benefits of Cristalhyal e-Perfection and Neoporyl.
