Anti-Ageing
When the skin ages, changes in pigmentation, sagging,
and wrinkling can be seen. This is mostly due to photoageing, along with other factors such as inflammation,
genetics (chronological ageing) and lifestyle (smoking,
drinking, stress etc).
There are many different ways to treat
ageing, from expensive and invasive
surgical procedures to less invasive
cosmetic treatments. When formulating
a cosmetic anti-ageing product, it is
important to firstly identify the age category
for which the product will be marketed as
skin at 25+ (first signs of ageing) has very
different needs to skin at 35+ (fine lines),
45+ (menopausal skin) and 55+ (mature
skin). This is due to differing collagen
levels, thickness of the epidermis/dermis,
whether the skin is greasy or dry and so on;
using just one active is never enough.
Speed of efficacy is also an important
factor to consider, as consumers are
impatient and often do not want to wait 14
days or more to see a result. Here is where
instant skin tighteners and optical blurring
agents have their place. These should
ideally be complimented by actives that
work on a more biological level but can
take 14 days or more to work.
www.infinity-ingredients.co.uk
Our ever ageing population is willing to
try anything to stay looking young. So
in this very affluent and ever expanding
market sector, it is vital that brands stay
ahead of the game by ensuring the latest
technologies and actives are used. Our
partners launch at least one new active per
year helping you, our valued customer, to
stay ahead of the game.
To help guide you through the many options
for this area, we at Infinity Ingredients have
categorised our actives by age. Happy
reading and please contact one of our
team should you need more help, advice or
samples.
25+
The aim of this age category is to keep the skin well
moisturised and radiant looking. Fine lines and wrinkles
are generally not visible until 30+.

MiniporylTM
(INCI: Isopentyldiol, Trifolium Pratense (Clover)
Flower Extract). Extracted from Red Clover
Extract and titrated in Biochanin A to purify
and rebalance skin. The enlargement of
pores is caused by Corneocytes retaining
their nucleus. This leads to abnormal
desquamation and accumulation of cell debris,
which cause pores to clog. As a result skin
loses tonicity and firmness. These effects
are further worsened by sun, tobacco, food,
bad cleansing etc. MiniporylTM improves
Keratinocyte differentiation to obtain nucleusfree Corneocytes as well as inhibiting
5α-reductase activity to decrease sebum
production. Overall the size and appearance
of pores is reduced for flawless skin!

45+
Menopausal skin (see specific range leaflet for more ideas
on this relatively un-tapped market sector), greasy and spotty
skin can often be a problem here due to hormonal imbalances.
Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) increases due to the skin
having a more mono-directional structure rather cross-hatched.
Epidermal thickness also decreases due to lower Collagen and
Elastin levels resulting in more saggy and wrinkled skin. It is vital to
select efficacious moisturising actives to restore the skin barrier as
well as treating spots, wrinkles and the effects of gravity (Collagen
boosting activity). Age spots also begin to appear.

MultiSal™ Retinol
(Silica, PPG-3 Benzyl Ether Myristate, Retinol,
Polysorbate 20, Polyethylenimine, BHT, BHA, Lauryl
Laurate, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Hydrolyzed Corn
Starch, Hydrolyzed Corn tarch Octenylsuccinate). Retinol
www.infinity-ingredients.co.uk
has been utilised extensively as an anti-wrinkle therapy.
The molecule acts by inducing glycosaminoglycan
and collagen synthesis, rejuvenating the firmness and
youthful appearance of skin. A challenge regarding
the use of Retinol is its susceptibility to oxidation, which
ultimately reduces the potency and limits effectiveness.
Due to its ability to enhance skin turnover, Retinol
can cause irritation on consumers with sensitive skin.
MultiSal™ technology is based on double-layered
encapsulation of retinol. The microsphere ruptures
when the lotion is rubbed into the skin, releasing the
sub-micron spheres inside. The core is comprised of
botanical lipophilic ingredients that partition into the skin,
thus modulating the slow release of the encapsulated
retinol over time. MultiSal™ Retinol reduces the
appearance of fine lines in as little as 2 weeks.
MultiSal™ Retinol is recommended for use in antiaging and skin rejuvenation products including lotions,
creams, lip care and cosmetics as well as anti-acne.

Peptide of Elafin, an enzyme inhibitor that regulates the
integrity of the Extracellular Matrix. Progeline™ decreases
Progerin (a new aging biomarker involved in skin cellular
senescence) synthesis to bring skin cells back to
their 20’s. By acting directly on a senescence marker,
Progeline™ clinically improves the appearance of signs
associated with skin maturation: sagging, slackness and
wrinkles. A NEW STUDY has shown that Progeline™
stimulates Sirtuin-1 and Sirtuin-3 production which are
responsible for cell longevity and lifespan. In addition,
it is able to reverse the signs of aging by increasing
Pro-collagen I synthesis to the same level of young cells.
Progeline™ provides an anti-gravity lifting effect for a
re-contour the jaw-line. In addition, it offers 100% Elastase
inhibition; this is important as we cannot stimulate Elastin
so we need to protect it.

MiniporylTM
(INCI: Isopentyldiol, Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower
Extract). Extracted from Red Clover Extract and titrated
in Biochanin A to purify and rebalance skin. The
enlargement of pores is caused by Corneocytes retaining
their nucleus. This leads to abnormal desquamation
and accumulation of cell debris, which cause pores to
clog. As a result skin loses tonicity and firmness. These
effects are further worsened by sun, tobacco, food,
bad cleansing etc. MiniporylTM improves Keratinocyte
differentiation to obtain nucleus-free Corneocytes as well
as inhibiting 5α-reductase activity to decrease sebum
production. Overall the size and appearance of pores is
reduced for flawless skin!

found in some tombs of pre-Inca cultures. Lúcuma is
frequently marketed as a “superfood”, due to its high
levels of carotene, vitamin B3, and other B vitamins. As
a result of its agricultural and cultural importance the
Peruvian Governmenthas declared Lucuma as one of its
“flagship products”. Cosmetic Properties: Anti-wrinkle.

health thanks to a strengthening of the barrier function
of the skin. Skin shows an immediate lifting effect when
evaluated by elasticity, smoothness, number and depth
of wrinkles, synthesis of neo-elastin, and a general
improvement of the skin aspect. CUBE3 also enhances
skin penetration of other lipophilic and hydrophilic active
ingredients to optimise their activity.

PrincipHyal SIGNAL-10
(INCI: Hyaluronic Acid) is a fast-track moisturiser
derived from a stable extremely low molecular weight
(standardised at less than 10 kDa) oligomer of Hyaluronic
Acid. SIGNAL-10 acts very quickly as it permeates
more efficiently than classic forms of Hyaluronans. This
stimulates the proliferation and regeneration of Fibroblasts,
and gives a fast improvement in skin of moisturisation and
elasticity. Ideal for developing products where speed is
everything and TURBO cosmetics is the concept.

Thalassenna
(INCI: Plankton Extract, Glycerin) is an extract of
Thalassiosira pseudonana, a marine diatome
(micro-seaweed) which has the unique property
of being able to concentrate Selenium from the
sea during its growth which are stored in the
form of Selenoproteins. Selenium is a trace
element with strong anti-radical activity, and is
therefore a very effective skin protective and
UV induced anti-ageing ingredient. Selenium
increases the activity of Keratinocytes and
Fibroblast Glutathionperoxydase enzymes (GPX
and PHGPX) that are essential in the elimination
of free radicals involved in the skin photo-ageing
process. Thalassenna is also a source of many
other beneficial components from the sea such as
proteins, amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
