Science of clear skin with high-tech chamomile

Ashland describes a biofunctional ingredient, which contains a high-tech chamomile extract, designed to clarify and smooth skin flaws impacted by environmental and lifestyle stress

The quest for perfect, clear, flawless skin has always been at the top of concerns for generations of young women. That is even more true for Gen Z and millennials with the influence of social media. One growing trend on TikTok is the use of non-surgical aesthetic procedures such as micro-botox for blemish-free skin.4

Inspired by these new aesthetic techniques, Perfectyl™ biofunctional, a high-tech chamomile extract (hereafter, the CE) developed using Ashland’s patented and proprietary Zeta Fraction™ technology, has been designed to clarify and smooth skin flaws (oiliness, pores, hyperpigmentation) impacted by environmental and lifestyle stresses. 

CE research has shown the impact of exposome stress on three skin ethnicities (African, Asian, Caucasian) and four phototypes. The concept of exposome has been widely evocated in cosmetics and several exposome factors such as pollution, sun, poor diet, psychological stress, are known to affect skin barrier, sebaceous glands, innate immunity, cutaneous microbiota and is associated with the severity of blemishes such as acne or skin oiliness.1
