NextGen Actives Unveils Natural Anti-inflammaging Retinol Alternative
Last update on Aug 23, 2024
NextGen Actives has launched Apinol360 (INCI: PEG-8 (and) Soybean Lecithin (and) Propolis Extract), an anti-inflammaging active positioned as a natural, safe alternative to retinol.Offers Superior Anti-aging Benefits Without Harsh Side Effects
The ingredient offers superior anti-aging benefits without the harsh side effects of traditional retinoids, such as skin dryness and irritation, as per the company. Described as an antioxidant and antimicrobial "powerhouse," the product has been clinically proven at 1.5% to reduce lines and wrinkles by more than 35% within 28 days.
The ingredient is derived from propolis, revered for its healing properties, and infused with four essential phenolic components:
- p-coumaric acid
- trans-ferulic acid
- caffeic acid
- caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE)
ApiotiX Technologies' patented non-alcoholic extraction process is employed to ensure these bioactive compounds are isolated and preserved at the highest purity, NextGen Actives reports.
The result is a 15% concentrated solution that is "meticulously blended" in PEG-400 and lecithin to ensure the stability of Apinol360 and to enhance its delivery.
With its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, Apinol360 is said to offer a holistic 360 approach to skin care, promoting healthy, youthful skin while addressing the growing demand for derm-like cosmetic actives.
Furthermore, considering the European Union's recent restriction limiting retinol to 0.3%, NexGen Actives notes Apinol360 is a timely solution.
