From Israel! Enzyme-derived Levan from sugarcane [*Evaluation data confirming the effects on skin resident bacteria and the promotion of skin proliferation speed can be provided based on human skin.]

■□■ Natural Polysaccharide Moisturizing Ingredient 'PoLevanS' ■□■ PoLevanS, a natural polysaccharide uniquely developed by Gan Shmuel in Israel, is produced using an enzymatic method and contains 30-35% levans, compared to the 1-2% levans produced by fermentation methods. 【Regarding Evaluation Data】 1. In aging care (skin moisture) evaluation experiments using human skin, it was confirmed that "the epidermal proliferation rate is promoted." ● Aging care (skin moisture) evaluation 2. In the ECM (extracellular matrix) reconstruction evaluation, it was confirmed that the higher the levans content, the greater the effect on the increase of procollagen 1. ● ECM (extracellular matrix) reconstruction evaluation 3. The minimum inhibitory concentration measurements for Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, etc., confirmed that there is no adverse effect on skin resident bacteria. ● Viable bacteria (skin resident bacteria) and antibacterial evaluation * This has been experimentally verified using human skin, not mice, at the testing laboratory of Dead Sea & Arava. * If you would like a sample, please contact us. * For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

Harmful to the human body! It has very low skin irritation, and has been widely adopted not only in cosmetics but also in the base materials for topical medications and various pharmaceutical products.

Our company acts as an importer and distributor for Sonneborn, a leading global supplier of liquid paraffin with a history spanning 100 years. Liquid paraffin, also known as mineral oil, is an odorless and colorless transparent oil obtained through the high distillation and refining of petroleum. It is chemically stable, non-volatile, and non-water-soluble at room temperature, does not oxidize under normal usage conditions, and does not discolor over time. Biologically, it is stable, preventing the growth of bacteria that cause skin diseases, and it possesses excellent hygienic characteristics, making it harmless to the human body. In addition to its safety and stable physical properties, it is easy to formulate with other materials, which has led to its widespread use not only in cosmetics but also in various pharmaceutical products such as transdermal drug delivery systems and quasi-drugs. [Applications] Baby oil / Sunscreen lotion / Moisturizing cream / Hand cream / Hair care and eye makeup products / Lipstick / Makeup remover / Ointments *For more details, please refer to our catalog or feel free to contact us.
