Laserson is now the distributor for Libragen. A biotechnology company based in Toulouse, Libragen specialises in the discovery, development and improvement of innovative bio-processes for the manufacture of molecules intended for the health, cosmetics and nutraceutical industries as well as fine chemistry.

Thanks to its ability to search for high-performance enzymes and convert them into industrial tools, Libragen has developed the Inoveol® range of active substances, specially designed to meet the requirements of the cosmetics industry.

 

In fact, polyphenols, which are usually difficult to exploit, are now easy to formulate. The innovative technology of Inoveol® active substances – developed through biotechnology – has led to the development of plant-based polyphenols with specific, unparalleled characteristics:

-        Production and purification using a green chemistry process

-        Remarkable stability

-        Solubility in water

-        Bioavailability for effective, long-lasting action.

 

The Inoveol® range today comprises three active substances, all of which have been targeted and approved for their compliance with the Ecocert product reference system:

 

·        Inoveol® CAFA (INCI: caffeyl glucoside): modified caffeic acid, obtained from an extract of green coffee – the latest ally for anti-ageing or sun protection formulations by virtue of its ability to protect the skin and prevent the effects of photo-ageing.

·        Inoveol® PHLO (INCI: phloridzinyl glucoside): modified phloridzidine, extracted from apples, capable of combating the effects of time and enhancing the radiance of the complexion at the same time.

·       Inoveol® GALA (INCI: gallyl glucoside): modified gallic acid, an oak derivative with high added-value for sensitive skin care routines thanks to its soothing action.
