Lipoid Kosmetik, a leading manufacturer of botanical extracts, actives and natural phospholipid products for the cosmetics and personal care industry, recently introduced Immortelle Oil Pro, a Cosmos-certified extract for body care applications aimed at achieving even, firm skin.
Skin imperfections, such as stretch marks, can have a significant impact on a person's image and adversely affect their quality of life. Stretch marks are the result of broken collagen and elastin fibers in the skin's connective tissue.
Cosmetic strategies to improve stretch marks and skin firmness involve strengthening the skin matrix, reducing redness and inflammation, and improving microcirculation through mechanical stimulation.
Lipoid Kosmetik uses the properties of Immortelle d'Italie (Helichrysum italicum) to create Immortelle Oil Pro, an extract with proven efficacy for body care. Its lipophilic active ingredients strengthen the skin matrix and reduce inflammation, leading to a substantial improvement in the appearance of stretch marks and skin firmness. As an oil-based extract, Immortelle Oil Pro can be incorporated into products that can be massaged into the skin, resulting in the following benefits for the user:
- Reduced appearance of stretch marks
- Increased skin firmness
- Improved skin evenness and smoothness
- Body contouring
