Multifunctional Rice Powders

beauty_product_containersAt the NYSCC Suppliers Day Exhibition, Lessonia (France) will launch two new versions of the Microzest 25 Rice as well as new data illustrating its multi-function. The Microzest 25 is an extremely fine micronized rice powder that delivers an incredibly silky feel.

New data shows that he Microzest 25 Rice has a high capacity for both oil and water absorption. Tests show that it can absorb 230% of its weight in water and 180% of its weight in Sunflower Oil. With its ability to absorb excess perspiration and sebum on the skin, the Microzest 25 Rice is perfect for skin care applications, antiperspirants, deodorants, and body powders. A novel application where the Microzest 25 can be especially useful is in dry shampoo products.

Lessonia Launches LycoMega

LycoMega_broch_coverThe latest development from the Lessonia laboratories in France is LycoMega®, a powerful active ingredient boasting anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and photo-protection benefits. The plant actives of LycoMega® are extracted from cold-pressed cranberry seed (rich in omega 3) and tomato seed (rich in Lycopene).  The Lycopene content is standardized to 80ppm.  

The LycoMega® antioxidant activity was tested and proven to have an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value higher than spinach or red grapes. Lycopene, the most powerful carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen is 100 times more efficient in quenching action than Vitamin E.

In addition, LycoMega® has the right balance of omega 6 and omega 3 content. Nearly every biologic function is somehow interconnected with the delicate balance between omega-6 and omega-3.

In cell culture studies, the LycoMega® shows a protective effect towards UVB on cell viability making it an interesting choice for sunscreen applications.

Lessonia, a natural products company, has launched the LycoMega® as a preservative and solvent-free active.  For further information, please contact Lessonia’s US partner, BioOrganic Concepts, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Mangosteen: A Powerful Anti-Oxidant
mangosteen_thumbThe Mangosteen tree, an evergreen that grows in tropical Southeast Asia, produces the powerful “superfruit” Mangosteen.  Locals have long-consumed the Mangosteen fruit as a dessert and used it as a source in traditional medicine.  Today, the rest of the world is seeing it become a popular ingredient for use in a plethora of nutritional and cosmeceutical applications.

The Mangosteen fruit is rich in iron, fiber, protein, calcium, potassium and Vitamins C, B1, B2 and B6.  Perhaps most interesting is its xanthone content.  Xanthones are very powerful anti-oxidants and have only recently been discovered (1990’s).  Research has shown that these xanthones have several health benefits including anti-inflammatory properties. Not surprisingly, the Mangosteen is being used in skin care to target disorders such as eczema and psoriasis.  Several independent labs are now investigating the use of Mangosteen in OTC drugs.

BioNatural® Mangosteen Powder
BioNatural® Mangosteen Powder is a fine yellowish brown powder with characteristic odor.  It can be used in skin conditioners, lip balms, soaps and shampoos. The typical usage level is 0.5=5%.  It is available in 25kg packaging.

Plantservative Gains Popularity

Campo_LogoCampo Research (Singapore) introduced Plantservative, a Japanese Honeysuckle extract, to the North American market almost twenty years ago. In the beginning, a few small naturally-focused companies used the ingredient to make sure their products were truly natural. This was long before the natural trend in the personal care industry began. Fast forward 15 years - Plantservative® has become one of the best selling ingredients for BioOrganic Concepts. Simply google "Japanese Honeysuckle" and one can see literally thousands of cosmetic and personal care products utilize this ingredient. You will also see a fair amount of activity in the blogosphere about Plantservative. Common among them is the "too good to be true" theory. Contact BioOrganic Concepts, info@bioorg.com, if you would like further information on this exciting ingredient.
