nisms for a visibly younger and healthier
appearance. By reinforcing the cutaneous
barrier and hydration, the skin fully recovers

Naturex
Hydranellys is an active derived from Selaginella,
known in China as the “resurrection
plant” for its ability to survive extreme
drought conditions. When drought hits,
Selaginella curls up on itself and loses its
green color, appearing to be dead, when
it is actually employing intrinsic biological
mechanisms that allow it to recover as
soon as the first drops of water appear.
In skin care products, Hydranellys harnesses
this unusual capability to ensure enhanced
hydration of the skin. It cares for
the hydrolipidic protective film that covers
the surface of the skin and strengthens the
stratum corneum, the outermost layer of
the epidermis. In this way, it helps dry skin
recover by maintaining its lipid balance
and retaining moisture.

improves both the look and consistency,
as well as the protection, of the product.
Manufacturers can use this ingredient in a
wide range of personal care products.
Wacker
The Belsil Eco range currently comprises
six silicone fluids. They are linear, unmodified
polydimethylsiloxanes (dimethicones),
which are distinguished by their
low surface tension and good spreading
properties. These products cover a particularly
crucial viscosity range in cosmetics
between five and 60,000 centistokes
(mm2/s) and are therefore suitable for the
formulation of moisturizing creams, lotions,
sunscreens, shampoos, conditioners
and other cosmetic preparations.
For every Belsil Eco product there also
exists a silicone fluid based on petroleumderived
methanol. Chemically speaking,
both products have the same raw material
base. This means that there is no problem
in replacing conventional silicone fluids
with their corresponding BELSIL Eco products.
Technical modifications or formulation
adjustments are not required. Spray
