Fermented actives have taken the beauty industry by storm, ushering in a new era of skincare with their transformative benefits. Derived from a natural fermentation process, these actives offer a potent blend of bioavailable nutrients that can revolutionise your formulations.
One standout ingredient used in fermented actives is Ectoine, renowned for its exceptional hydrating properties. Ectoine acts as a moisture-locking powerhouse, enhancing the skin’s ability to retain water. This results in a plump and well-hydrated complexion, making it an ideal choice for those seeking intense and long-lasting hydration.
Fruit-derived fermented actives, such as those from goji, pomegranate, and raspberry, bring a burst of natural goodness to skincare. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, these fruits play a pivotal role in combating free radicals and supporting skin health. Goji berries, known for their anti-aging properties, aid in reducing the appearance of fine lines, while the anti-inflammatory properties of pomegranate and raspberry contribute to a calmer and more even skin tone. The synergy of these fruit-derived actives provides a nourishing cocktail for vibrant and youthful-looking skin.
Aminobutyric Acid is another notable player in fermented actives, showcasing its prowess in addressing signs of aging. This amino acid aids in relaxing facial muscles, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. With its skin-smoothing effects, Aminobutyric Acid contributes to a firmer and more supple complexion, making it a sought-after ingredient for those aiming to achieve a youthful and revitalised appearance.
Acetyl Glucosamine, a powerhouse ingredient in fermented actives, stands out for its skin-brightening and exfoliating properties. This compound supports the skin’s natural renewal process, promoting a more even skin tone and reducing the visibility of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Incorporating Acetyl Glucosamine in your skincare routine can result in a radiant and luminous complexion, making it an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their skin’s clarity and brightness.
Embrace the transformative potential of fermented actives, and let nature’s bounty elevate your personal care formulations.
Product and customer insights
CHALLENGE A 40-hectare raw water storage dam had persistent issues with blue-green algae (BGA) blooms, leading to taste and odor problems. Despite the presence of an aeration system to address water stratification and mixing, BGA counts remained seasonally high, particularly in summer and autumn. Upgraded aeration in 2018 did not resolve the issue, leaving the […]
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation, known as IMO 2020 was the the largest change in regulation relating to marine fuels impacting 75% of the fuel used by the shipping industry.
CHALLENGE A power plant relying on ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) faced a critical operational challenge. A wastewater treatment upset severely fouled the UF system, drastically reducing water production. Despite multiple cleaning attempts with sodium hypochlorite and citric acid, transmembrane pressure (TMP) remained high, and flux showed no improvement. The plant’s inability to meet […]
Keeping drilling costs low using Redi-Guard™ High Performance, an ecologically friendly drilling fluid technology with revolutionary rheological and shale encapsulation properties
CHALLENGE A municipal water reuse plant processing 8 million gallons per day (MGD) experienced severe fouling and scaling issues, including calcium phosphate and silica deposits. With steep feed pressure increases and differential pressures in both stages, the plant required frequent cleanings every 4 to 6 weeks, amounting to 32 cleanings annually. Each cleaning cycle resulted […]
The plant was experiencing weekly shutdowns for fiber clean up (~ 3 kg bags of matted slurry is cleaned per week). The shut downs were costly as they reduce plant availability for production.
CHALLENGE A municipal reverse osmosis (RO) plant on Florida’s west coast, with a 20 MGD capacity, faced high operational costs due to its reliance on 93% sulfuric acid for pH adjustment. The plant used a combination of a brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) membranes and fiberglass-wrapped membranes across 10 trains, each operating at 75% recovery. […]
CHALLENGE A gold processing plant in New Zealand sought to improve gold recovery efficiency while addressing high Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels. Elevated TOC increased the Preg-Robbing Factor (PRF), reducing the plant’s ability to efficiently recover gold during the Carbon-In-Leach (CIL) process. The traditional use of kerosene as a carbon blanking agent offered limited efficacy, […]
CHALLENGE A municipal reverse osmosis (RO) plant, with a capacity of 2 million gallons per day (MGD), faced frequent system cleanings, every 2-4 months, due to rising feed pressure. The plant, which sources water from brackish wells and uses Toray TMG-20D-400 membranes in a (16×7) -> (8×7) train configuration, was operating at 78% recovery. Despite […]
Research indicates that Sea Buckthorn may be able to strengthen the immune system. One in vitro study focused on the possible immunomodulatory properties of Sea Buckthorn.
AWC A-110 effectively inhibited scale at a dosage of 3.5 ppm and an operating pH of 6.9. This increase in operating pH reduced the district’s annual acid consumption by ~$350K per year based on their current production.
MCI® -2020 V/O and ChemMaster’s Colorsil were chosen to repair and protect the walls based on their 20 year warranties and the fact that together they could fulfill the other specified repair design requirements.
Despite numerous cleanings, the productivity of the Reverse Osmosis plant would not recover from severe membrane fouling. The membrane autopsy revealed that the ferric hydroxide was seeding
silica polymerization and that even while the ferric hydroxide was removed, the silica scaling was continuing to grow.
The East Hokkaido region is known to have the highest volume of potato product in Japan. Unfortunately, a potato farmer in the area was experiencing a high rate of potato scab infection in his agricultural field.
