B9 vitapol is commonly known as folic acid and is mainly found in green leafy vegetables. Folic acid improves the appearance of the skin, strengthens the collagen structure and thus the elasticity of the skin and increases its moisture content. Folic acid is also said to have an effect on the development of healthy hair and nails, as it ensures that cells can divide and form new ones. Hair also grows back faster as cells in the roots are stimulated to regenerate. B9-Vitapol supplies the vitamin for cosmetic use on the skin. In addition to folic acid, VB9-Plus contains glycyrrhizic acid, which has a brightening effect on the skin. Now formulations possible with folic acid through structural changes by microbial fermentation.INCI: Water, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Bacillus/Folic acid ferment Filtrate extract, Sodium hyaluronate

Fermented natural extract from a mushroom originating in Finland. Through the fermentation process and the metabolism produced, it acts on the TRPV-1, which modulates the temperature, and finally gives the skin a soothing and cooling effect.INCI: Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Albatrellus Ovinus Extract, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol Anti-thermo
Coolin ist ein fermentierter natürlicher Extrakt aus einem Pilz, der seinen Ursprung in Finnland hat. Durch den Fermentationsprozess und den erzeugten Metabolismus wirkt er auf den TRPV-1, der die Temperatur moduliert, und gibt der Haut schließlich eine beruhigende und kühlende Wirkung.
EURECO™ has an attractive sustainability profile. It works as a highly effective low temperature bleaching agent (e.g. 15°C) ౼ resulting in lower energy consumption ౼ without the use of activators, preservatives, neutralizers or alkalis. The absence of alkalis allows operators in the professional sector to reduce water consumption in the rinsing stage, thereby reducing wastewater treatment needs as well. Its compact formulation positively impacts packaging size, thus reducing production and transportation costs. Its use in washing processes generates several benefits with a substantial impact on the sustainability profile of the application and notably extending the lifespan of fibers and textiles throughout extended washes. And most importantly, EURECO™ turns into a readily biodegradable non-peroxidic chemical, yielding zero environmental threat.
EURECO™ is also as a powerful whitening and anti-plaque agent in the personal care industry as well. Whether in toothpaste, whitening dental kits, denture care or mouthwashes, oral care products formulated with EURECO™ produce visible whitening, a noticeable anti-plaque effect and long-lasting bacteria load reduction. EURECO™ can also be used in skin care to gently yet effectively balance sebum and treat acne and hyperpigmentation.
