Clariant unveiled its exciting Beracare CBA asset, a complex blend of Amazon oils in which the tremendous potential of copaiba oil is boosted by passion fruit oil, both of which the company is able to harvest sustainably.
Beracare CBA offers a natural alternative to cannabidiol to soothe sensitive skin, from which approximately 50 % of women and 40 % of men suffer. Caused by external or physiological stressors, sensitive skin manifests itself primarily as unpleasant sensations such as tingling, burning or pins and needles, which may also be accompanied by redness.
This active provides a similar effect to CBD by targeting the skin's endocannabinoid system, activating CB2 receptors. This increases the production of β-endorphin, creating a calming effect superior to CBD. The new data adds to previous studies and shows that Beracare CBA effectively reduces skin sensitivity by 61% after 7 days and 71% after 28 days, reducing redness and irritation.
" With their recognized potential to promote overall skin wellness, cannabidiol-based products are gaining attention. However, CBD faces regulatory issues in many countries. With Beracare CBA, Clariant offers a powerful, natural alternative without the regulatory challenges" said Julie Droux, global technical marketing manager for actives and natural origins.
Clariant is able to obtain the raw materials for Beracare CBA from renewable resources in the Amazon. Copaiba oil comes from the resin of the tree, which can be extracted in a sustainable manner to preserve the tree. The passion fruit vines can be grown using responsible techniques to preserve the environment.
