DSM products for skin care

The skin is the barrier between the body and the environment. Every day thousands of new skin cells are generated and micronutrients such as vitamins and essential fatty acids play an important role in this building process. Therefore skin health is highly dependent on the availability of nutrients from both the inside and the outside. As the skin ages, the transport of nutrients to the skin decreases due to structural changes. The skin condition and functioning are also affected by environmental factors (UV radiation, pollution) and by endogenous factors (stress).

For a lifelong radiant look and adequate protection a well-balanced mix of different active ingredients is essential. Topically applied sun filters and vitamins can be supported from the inside by carotenoids, vitamins and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The result is healthy and young looking skin.

DSM Nutritional Products produces ingredients to protect, vitalise and strengthen skin. We offer our customers in the cosmetics industry a leading portfolio of vitamins, UV filters and bioactive ingredients. Our portfolio includes anti-ageing products and active ingredients with free radical scavenging, moisturising, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative properties.

Vitamin E Acetate - The Protector: as a powerful natural antioxidant, vitamin E moisturises skin, enhances skin smoothness, soothes and aids in tissue repair and protects skin from environmental stress (especially sun exposure).

Vitamin E Alcohol - The Preserver: an excellent antioxidant for use in cosmetics, Tocopherol reduces the formation of harmful nitrosamines, free radicals and lipid peroxides, maintains the stability, safety and purity of products, protects vitamin A derivatives and acts as a preservative against rancidity.

Vitamin A Palmitate - The Normalizer: - essential for normal skin development, Vitamin A has a normalising effect on dry skin, increases the skin elasticity and can regenerate prematurely aged skin.

Beta Carotene - The Pro-vitamin A: not only does it exhibit singlet oxygen scavenging abilities, making it an effective antioxidant, but it is also used as a colorant for personal care formulations.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) - The Energizer: a necessary component for the cell metabolism, Niacinamide participates in the synthesis of hormones and proteins. It stimulates blood circulation in the skin and provides an additional moisturizing and emollient effect.

Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5) - The Beautifier: an effective moisturiser that also makes dry skin softer and more elastic, has anti-inflammatory effects and soothes irritated skin.

Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) - the Cell Activator: this essential element for normal cell functioning acts especially in the metabolism of amino-acids and thereby provides synergies to the activity of Niacinamide.

Vitamin D3 - The Skin Cell Differentiator: is required for skin cells' differentiation and growth.

Vitamin C - The Protective Corrector: as one of the most effective natural antioxidants, vitamin C is essential for the formation and function of collagen to ensure a firm skin. Vitamin C, and specifically STAY-C 50®, the stable Vitamin C, is involved in the protection against free radical damage due to UV radiation, skin lightening and prevention of age spots.

Biotin - The Strengthener: a coenzyme in the synthesis of skin fatty acids, Biotin is an important micronutrient for the formation of an effective skin barrier.

ROPUFA® - polyunsaturated fatty acids from natural source.ROPUFA® are essential for the integrity of the skin's homeostasis.
