Ferulated Alkylglycosides – A Novel Multifunctional Ingredient for Next-Generation Skincare and Sun Care

Protected IP with the possibility of extending protection

A new class of cosmetic ingredients based on the covalent attachment of ferulic acid to biodegradable alkylglycosides. The result is a single multifunctional molecule combining antioxidant and photoprotective potential with possible surface-active properties. The technology is intended as a multifunctional ingredient supporting advanced skincare and sun-care formulations; it is not intended to replace UV filters.

Competitive advantage

  • a multifunctional cosmetic ingredient combining several functions in a single molecule,
  • a biodegradable alkylglycoside-based structure aligned with the trend toward more sustainable cosmetic ingredients,
  • antioxidant and photoprotective potential,
  • compared with formulations using free ferulic acid, potential advantages in formulation stability, compatibility and performance consistency,
  • potential to reduce formulation complexity and ingredient load while expanding existing portfolios with a differentiated multifunctional ingredient.

Use of technology

  • sun-care formulations,
  • daily facial creams with UV protection,
  • anti-ageing skincare and after-sun products,
  • dermocosmetics,
  • premium and clean-beauty products.
