NEPHORIA® BC10044
The natural youth booster
Innovation is not just about science, but also about improving the way to develop ingredients and offering products to answer a responsible way to consume. BASF initiated the exploration of rambutan tree’s various cosmetic properties, with the ambition to ensure a sustainable use of the resource and generate a positive impact on the supply chain development. Based on the rambutan resource (Nephelium lappaceum), BASF developed three new bioactives. Nephoria™ is an extract of the evergreen rambutan leaves. Through its action on several major biological targets involved in collagens synthesis and elastic fiber assembly, Nephoria™ stimulates both collagen and elastic fibers formation, increasing skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles appearance to help the skin look visibly younger.
Product Description
Extract from the leaves of sustainable sourced Rambutan
Consumer Benefits
Wrinkle reduction, Firming, Elasticity increase, Retinol-like, Gene regulation
Properties
Helps mature skin to rejuvenate through biological pathways like those of retinol. Stimulates both collagen and elastic fibers formation, increasing skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles appearance.
