ENCAPSULATED ASSETS

LIPOSOMES

Liposomes are spherical, self-closing microscopic capsules in which a phospholipid bilayer sequesters components. This system enables both lipophilic and hydrophilic components to be encapsulated. The incorporated components are protected from degradation, while enhancing the release of active ingredients into the skin. In addition, the vesicular structure of liposomes mimics that of the skin's natural stratum corneum.

OUR 2 LIPOSOMES

  • Complete hemp liposomes +CBD
  • Vit K liposomes

DEHYDRASOMES

Dehydrasomes consist of certified organic phospholipids dispersed in biomimetic sunflower oil. The vesicles penetrate the stratum corneum and bind to the moisture present. Dehydrasomes also enhance the diffusion of active extracts.

OUR 3 DEHYDRASOMES

  • Chamomile and shitake dehydrasome
  • Yogurt and blueberry dehydrasome
  • Pumpkin and shitake dehydrasome

PLANT EXTRACTS

.

Botanical extracts can be obtained from various plant parts, such as flowers, leaves, roots, seeds or bark. They can be extracted by various processes, including maceration (oil, propanediol or glycerine), distillation, infusion or solvent extraction. These extracts often contain natural compounds such as antioxidants, vitamins, amino acids, essential fatty acids and other bioactive substances. They may have moisturizing, soothing, antioxidant, pro-aging, brightening, regenerating, anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial properties, depending on the plants used.

RARE ABSOLUTE

.

The scent of our products is an integral part of their development. Some products contain absolutes to add a luxurious sensory dimension. A flower absolute is a specific type of botanical extract used in perfumery and cosmetics (for its properties on the skin). It is a highly aromatic concentrate obtained from flowers, leaves, roots or other fragrant parts. The process of obtaining a flower absolute is generally carried out by extraction using volatile solvents. Flowers are immersed in a solvent, such as ethanol, which extracts the aromatic compounds present in the petals. The solvent is then evaporated to obtain a resinous or pasty material, which is the final result - the "absolute". These substances are extremely expensive.

OUR 9 RARE ABSOLUTES

Lilies, ginger lilies, lime blossom, blackcurrant, jasmine, mimosa, iris, violet.

SUPERCRITICAL CO2 EXTRACTIONS

.

Supercritical CO2 extraction is a plant extraction method using carbon dioxide in a supercritical state, where it acts as a solvent to extract the desired compounds from the plant. This method is considered safe, clean and efficient, as it leaves no chemical residue and preserves the plant's active compounds unaltered. CO2 extraction is used to extract various plant compounds, such as essential oils, flavonoids, terpenes, alkaloids, phenols, sterols, fatty acids and pigments. « Total » or « selective » CO2 extraction are two different approaches to extracting plants using supercritical carbon dioxide. The choice between total or selective CO2 extraction depends on the specific extraction objectives and the desired properties of the extracted compounds. Both methods can be used effectively in the cosmetics industry, depending on the specific needs of each product.

OUR 10 SUPERCRITICAL CO2 EXTRACTIONS

Sea buckthorn berries, calendula flowers, goji berries, apple, rose petals, cucumber, pomegranate seeds, sandalwood seeds, carrot seeds, turmeric, rose hips, raspberry seeds.

VEGETABLE OILS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

.

Synergie loves vegetable oils, and we make them our priority and our specialty! Here are some of the elements you can find in a quality cosmetic vegetable oil:

PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS

.

Peptides and polypeptides are ingredients commonly used in cosmetics. They are chains of amino acids that can be synthesized in the laboratory or obtained from natural sources. Peptides are short chains of amino acids, while polypeptides are longer chains. In cosmetics, these ingredients are used for their pro-aging, firming, moisturizing and collagen-stimulating properties. They can also help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation spots, as well as improving skin texture.

OUR 8 PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS

Lupin proteins, jojoba proteins, pea peptides, hexapeptide 11, Matrixyl 3000, tripeptide 5, tripeptide 29, marine elastin.

VITAMINS

.

Vitamins are essential nutrients needed to maintain skin health. They help nourish and protect the skin, making it firmer, more elastic, brighter and more resistant to environmental damage.

OUR 6 VITAMINS

Vitamin A: improves skin texture, stimulates collagen production and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol and bio-retinol (in certain vegetable oils, plant extracts and in the bakuchiol molecule).

Vitamin B3: soothing niacinamide, spot-reducing.

GREEN BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ADVANCED INGREDIENTS

.

Biotechnology is playing an increasingly important role in the cosmetics industry, enabling the manufacture of innovative, eco-friendly and sustainable ingredients. These are considered natural and sustainable ingredients, as they are derived from renewable sources and are often obtained using environmentally-friendly processes. They can be produced by micro-organisms such as bacteria or yeast. Here are just a few examples of cosmetic ingredients produced through biotechnology:

OUR 2 Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a moisturizing and plumping ingredient widely used in skin care products. It can be produced from specific bacterial cultures.ries spécifiques.

Synergie integrates small and ultra-small hyaluronic acid molecules into several of its products for deep hydration.n en profondeur.

Our 3 Plant Stem Cells

Some plants undergo multiple variations over time due to their environment. This has given them fascinating lessons in adaptability. They can survive in the most hostile environments. This power is concentrated in their stem cells. Stem cells are 100% active, as they contain within their cells all the plant's regenerative and protective elements. These cells concentrate all the regenerative, protective and antioxidant potential of the plant from which they are extracted. What's more, this is a highly sustainable way of manufacturing raw materials that conserves resources. Only a small plant sample is needed to produce plant stem cells.
