Report on the 10th COSME Tech 2020 Cosmetics Development Exhibition

Ultimate moisturizing produced by Halomonas sp. with protection (UV, BL, IRA, viruses), anti-inflammatory, and femcare ingredient Ectoin Natural.

<Ectoin Natural Features> Ectoin is a type of cyclic amino acid produced by extremophilic microorganisms (Halomonas) that inhabit salt lakes and deserts. It has 4 moles of bound water for every 1 mole of ectoin, giving it cosmotropic properties. This characteristic contributes to the stabilization of interactions between water molecules and forms a hydrocomplex. This hydrocomplex helps stabilize biological structures (such as cells, proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids) against environmental stresses like temperature changes, high salt concentrations, strong UV exposure, and dehydration. ― About Effectiveness ― In Vivo Vaginal care effects: Reduction of vaginal atrophy symptoms, vaginal moisturization (50% improvement in dryness), improvement of vaginal heat and itching. Moisturizing persistence (lasting for 1 week), barrier recovery, erythema suppression, protection of Langerhans cells (100% protection). Anti-aging effects: Improvement in skin roughness (86% improvement), wrinkle depth (32% improvement), elasticity (82% improvement), smoothness (61% improvement), whitening effect (25% improvement). In Vitro: Promotion of heat shock protein production, anti-pollution effects (Ex-Vivo), protection against blue light, UV-A, UV-B, and IR-A.

We are introducing Contipro's hyaluronic acid derivatives, such as sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, which have unique efficacy.

Contipro is a biotechnology company located in the Czech Republic. It is a global manufacturer that produces and sells various active ingredients, primarily sodium hyaluronate, in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields, supplying to over 60 countries for approximately 30 years. The listed products are categorized into three groups: sodium hyaluronate, natural polysaccharides, and peptides. <Sodium Hyaluronate> We offer grades with a molecular weight distribution ranging from 2.3 million Da to 10,000 Da, and we have confirmed differences in efficacy due to varying skin permeability based on molecular weight through Vivo and Vitro data. Additionally, we also have hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate as a grade with excellent skin permeability. <Derivatives> We have confirmed through Vivo and Vitro data that sodium hyaluronate possesses not only its inherent properties of moisturizing, barrier function, anti-wrinkle, and calming effects but also efficacy in whitening, sebum secretion regulation, sebum suppression, and improvement of skin texture. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Hyaluronic Acid Na for Whitening that Maximizes the Function of Alpha-Linolenic Acid

HyWhite is a sodium hyaluronate with whitening (brightening) properties manufactured by Contipro in the Czech Republic. HyWhite is a product that has high whitening (brightening) effects, made by partially replacing low molecular weight sodium hyaluronate with alpha-linolenic acid, which has high permeability to the skin. Alpha-linolenic acid is widely known for its strong melanin production suppression effects, and in in-vitro results, it has been confirmed to have a higher suppression effect than kojic acid. On the other hand, it is also known as a component that is difficult to formulate due to its low skin permeability and instability. This product promotes the absorption of alpha-linolenic acid, which has been a problem in the past, by replacing part of the low molecular weight hyaluronate with alpha-linolenic acid, thereby improving stability and maximizing the effects of alpha-linolenic acid. *In addition to HyWhite, Contipro also manufactures sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, and other hyaluronate derivatives.

At our center, we regularly hold a lecture series called the "Environmental Science Seminar" aimed at providing and promoting information related to the environment and hygiene for citizens. This year, it will take place on Saturday, November 15th. We are pleased to have Dr. Takeshi Ochiai from the Kanagawa Prefectural Institute of Industrial Technology, a local independent administrative institution, deliver a lecture titled "The Future of Living Created by Photocatalysts." Photocatalysts are materials that use natural forces such as light and water to decompose and remove dirt and harmful substances. While it may sound complicated, they are actually utilized in everyday products like wall materials, window glass, and air purifiers. In this seminar, we will clearly introduce photocatalysts, a dream material that is environmentally friendly, safe, and contributes to the future of society. Additionally, we will set up an exhibition booth where you can experience the effects of photocatalysts, so please come and try it out.

Our company will exhibit equipment at the "69th Space Science and Technology Union Conference." We sincerely look forward to your visit.
