Cascara Pro

 

Cascara Pro – The Advanced Energizer for Scalp Health & Follicle Longevity

Coffee is celebrated worldwide and valued in cosmetics for both skin and hair care applications due to its high caffeine content.

During the harvest of coffee cherries, the beans are carefully separated from their outer shell, known as cascara, which was traditionally discarded.

Today, cascara is emerging as a high-value, ethical and natural ingredient that blends familiarity, efficacy and innovation.

Lipoid Kosmetik responsibly sources and upcycles organic cascara through a traceable supply chain in Brazil. Enriched with natural caffeine, the extract is refined into Cascara Pro, a scientifically validated cosmetic ingredient.

The unique synergy between protective polyphenols and flavonoids, and the stimulating effects of caffeine and trigonelline, makes Cascara Pro a complementary solution for promoting resilient, energized scalp and hair follicle longevity. Cascara Pro delivers the following powerful user benefits:

• Complementary phytochemical power
• Improved follicle longevity & protection
• Enhanced scalp health & vitality
• Upcycled, organic & on-trend raw material

With its natural, upcycled, and traceable origin, Cascara Pro stands out as an on-trend ingredient that provides a potent, feel-good boost for scalp vitality and follicle activity – supporting beautiful, healthy-looking hair throughout life.

Hydrogenated Phospholipids

 

Hydrogenated Phospholipids – Biomimetic Emulsifiers with Added Value

Hydrogenated phospholipids are biomimetic multifunctional ingredients designed to support the skin’s natural barrier while delivering excellent formulation performance.

Inspired by the lipid structures naturally present in the epidermis, they closely mimic the lipids that constitute the skin barrier. This high level of compatibility makes them ideal for creating skin-friendly formulations with enhanced sensory properties.

Lipoid Kosmetik’s range of hydrogenated phospholipids combines natural emulsification performance with skin barrier support and superior formulation aesthetics. By replicating the structure and behavior of physiological skin lipids, these ingredients help strengthen and replenish the skin barrier while providing a pleasant, silky skin feel.

The portfolio includes different products tailored to specific formulation needs:

• Hydrogenated lecithin: powerful emulsifier providing a unique silky skin feel
• Hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine: strengthens the skin barrier and enhances formulation aesthetics
• SLM Skin Lipid Matrix®: skin-friendly cream base with biomimetic lipid composition and lamellar structures

Together, these ingredients offer versatile solutions for modern skin care formulations. Their multifunctional properties allow formulators to combine technical performance with skin compatibility, making them particularly suitable for sensitive skin applications and dermo-cosmetics.
