News update from the Personal Care Application Laboratory
Nordmann News: You have created an innovative Upcycling Day Cream. Tell us more about it. It sounds intriguing.
Laura Ratz: The Upcycling Day Cream embraces the upcycling trend and contains up to 95% upcycled raw materials to promote sustainability and environmental awareness.
It contains the active ingredient KAFFAGE-BD®, a biopolymer made from coffee by-products. The active ingredient increases moisture, reduces wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. It also contains the active ingredient REDIVINE. This is a by-product of organic grapevines from one of the world's most important wine-growing regions. It has a dual antioxidant effect and protects the skin from free radicals caused by environmental pollution, UV radiation and other harmful influences.

Another ingredient is Hydra-Leen®8 Neroli BIO, a stabilized hydrolate that is produced as a residue from the steam distillation of essential oils. This ingredient helps to restore the radiance of dull skin. Organic raspberry oil is also contained in the day cream. It is made from raspberry seeds, which are a by-product of the food industry. The oil is rich in regenerating and protective ingredients (omega 3, omega 6, vitamins A and E).
In a nutshell: Our upcycled day cream is ideal for daily use. It has a creamy, nourishing texture, moisturizes, and protects the skin from harmful influences. The delicate pink color gives the cream a fresh and modern look.
Nordmann News: Why was the upcycling trend particularly important to you when developing your formulation?
Laura Ratz: The upcycling trend is very important to us because it promotes sustainability and resource conservation. By converting seemingly useless by-products or waste materials into high-quality ingredients, we reduce waste and conserve valuable resources. Many cosmetics brands are already using upcycling to develop innovative products. By using the entire plant or fruit in our manufacturing process and not wasting any parts, we significantly reduce our ecological footprint. Consumers also greatly appreciate these sustainable and environmentally friendly products and are increasingly looking for such solutions.
