ICHIMARU PHARCOS has launched a new cosmetic ingredient, Biobenefity conc, that is an SDGs-friendly concentrated version of Biobenefity

Biobenefity is an extract obtained from artichoke leaves.

The active compound "Cynaropicrin" suppresses the activation of NF-κB, a key factor in skin aging, and is a popular anti-aging natural ingredient that is expected to prevent pigmentation, photoaging, and noticeable pores.

Biobenefity is now available as a new "Biobenefity conc" product, in which the active compound Cynaropicrin content has been increased up to ten-fold.

The compact, concentrated form reduces CO 2 emissions from transportation, container waste, and storage space, making it an environmentally / SDGs-friendly raw material.

In addition, the increased concentration of active compound makes it an easy product to consider for higher dosage in formulations.
