Pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) is distinguished from other natural fibers by its high cellulose content, an important element for polymer reinforcement, biodegradable product additives, membrane reinforcement and the development of renewable biomaterials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Italian firm's expertise in biofermentation played a crucial role in the delicate elaboration of this active ingredient using a yeast-based cross-linking technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Active Concepts, AC Pina Colloida, the new biopolymer obtained by this process, improves the skin's protective barrier function, helping to retain moisture and prevent attacks from micro-pollution. By acting on the integrity of the dermo-epidermal junction, it could prevent the visible signs of ageing. In addition, AC Pina Colloida strengthens the structural integrity of hair by preventing the harmful effects of UV irradiation, resulting in healthier hair and demonstrating effective physical and sensory properties that improve overall skin coverage and product appearance.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Active Concepts, entreprise italienne qui cr\u00e9e des bioactifs cosm\u00e9tiques, rappelle que le r\u00e9chauffement climatique, marqu\u00e9 par des temp\u00e9ratures record, affecte directement le vieillissement et la qualit\u00e9 de la peau et des cheveux.
