Leap ahead and be at the forefront of skincare science with peptides, the sought-after ingredients empowering personal care formulators to redefine the boundaries of beauty. Peptides, small chains of amino acids, are revolutionising the industry with their diverse range of benefits, offering a versatile canvas for crafting innovative skincare formulations.
At the heart of peptide magic lies their role in collagen synthesis. These powerful compounds stimulate the skin to produce more collagen, the essential protein responsible for skin structure and firmness. For formulators, peptides become indispensable tools in anti-aging formulations, effectively addressing fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen production. This anti-aging prowess positions peptides as game-changers in the quest for youthful, resilient skin.
Peptides go beyond mere collagen support, extending their benefits to hydration and moisture retention. Certain peptides act as humectants, attracting and binding water molecules to the skin, ensuring a plump and well-hydrated complexion. Formulators strategically incorporate these peptides into moisturizers, serums, and masks, providing users with products that not only combat signs of aging but also deliver a boost of hydration.
Moreover, peptides showcase their versatility by aiding in skin repair and regeneration. Some peptides possess antioxidant properties, shielding the skin from environmental stressors and promoting cellular resilience. This multifunctional aspect makes peptides valuable assets for formulators developing products that address a spectrum of skin concerns, from aging to environmental damage.
In the realm of personal care formulations, peptides play a crucial role in enhancing the overall texture and feel of products. Their lightweight nature allows for easy absorption, ensuring that formulations are non-greasy and comfortable on the skin. This sensory advantage, coupled with their efficacy, makes peptides a preferred choice for formulators crafting skincare solutions that marry science with a luxurious user experience.
Peptides emerge as the silent architects of advanced skincare formulations, empowering personal care formulators with their collagen-boosting, hydrating, and regenerative properties. As the demand for sophisticated and effective skincare continues to soar, peptides remain at the forefront, guiding the industry towards a future where science meets indulgence in every drop of a carefully formulated product.
Product and customer insights
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 […]
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 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. […]
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.
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 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.
