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.
