Natural & Organic Ingredients
Roni Rot, CEO, Jojoba Desert, says, “Two significant trends in anti-aging ingredients have caught our attention in recent years. Firstly, there is a noticeable shift toward natural and organic anti-aging products. As consumers become increasingly discerning about their skin care choices, they gravitate toward products that are free of harsh chemicals and unnecessary additives. Plant extracts, essential oils and traditional herbal remedies have become increasingly popular. Secondly, ingredient innovation stands out as a predominant trend. From potent UV absorbers to path-breaking natural elements, the emphasis on ingredient development remains paramount. These novel ingredients are crafted to amplify the efficacy of anti-aging solutions, ensuring users reap maximum benefits.”
Rot continues, “With all of these trends in mind, we recently introduced an exceptional anti-aging ingredient: JD Phyto-Or 1% by Jojoba Desert. This innovative product addresses the concerns and trends mentioned earlier. JD Phyto-Or 1% (INCI: Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil; Blakeslea trispora mycelium extract/C30-45 Olefin) is a natural active skin repair solution that enhances skin elasticity and improves skin tone. It combines JD Jojoba oil with concentrated phytoene, extracted from a non-GMO fungi, using a solvent-free process and controlled fermentation pathway. This ingredient offers exceptional benefits for both skin and hair, reducing vulnerability to oxidation and preventing oxidative stress-induced damage and inflammation stimulated by UV irradiation and pollution. JD Phyto-Or 1% protects the natural hydro-lipid skin barrier, evens skin tone, reduces wrinkles by enhancing elasticity and firmness, and improves overall skin smoothness. It is a clear, low-viscosity, oil-soluble yellow liquid suitable for a wide rang e of skin care applications.”
Hybrid Applications
Jimmy Yow, general manager, sales and marketing, KLK Oleo, says, “We’ve been seeing a shift toward an interest in all-in-one skin care products with safe, effective and gentle to the skin, natural bioactive ingredients. The cost-of-living crisis is hitting hard for most consumers, and they are looking for all-in-one skin care products that can address multiple anti-aging concerns. They are looking for products that offer quality and value for money. They want a product that offers them convenience and a streamlined facial skin care routine, and they are willing to pay more for this. They perceive this as more affordable, because one product replaces many products.”
