Bionap presents the results of a study that demonstrates how an Opuntia ficus-indica cladodes extract shows a significant and lasting improvement in skin moisturization in leave-on applications, representing a versatile ingredient for next generation of skin care formulations, from daily moisturisers to mild cleansing products
Maintaining skin barrier integrity is a constant challenge in modern life. Daily cleansing routines, frequent use of surfactants-based products and chronic exposure to environmental aggressors can progressively compromise the skin barrier, leading to dryness, impaired functions, microbiome imbalance and increased skin reactivity.1
There is therefore a growing need for ingredients that can deliver both protective, moisturizing and restoring benefits. In response to consumer demand for effective, sustainable and naturally derived solutions, the cosmetic industry is increasingly looking to botanical sources scientifically grounded and aligned with sustainability values.
In this context, Opuntia Biocomplex™ SH, a powder extract standardised in polysaccharides derived from Opuntia ficus-indica cladodes juice, developed by Bionap of Sicily, Italy, offers a scientifically supported and sustainable solution to address skin barrier needs.
