Wonder You Day Care Cream SPF 50

During menopause, the skin experiences a significant drop in collagen production (about 30% in the first five years) as well as an increase in cortisol which impacts skin cell functions leading to visible signs of aging and lower skin resilience to daily stress factors.

That is why the Day Care Cream formulation is infused with our patented BEL-EVEN® technology - an innovative anti-stress, anti-pollution, and anti-wrinkle bioactive that selectively inhibits 11β-HSD1 to stop the conversion of cortisone into cortisol released as a result of stress. This well-defined mechanism helps the skin regain elasticity, density, and barrier functionality and visibly reduces the signs of stress-induced skin aging.

BEL-EVEN® is combined with Niacinamide PC, our grade of vitamin B3, exceptionally well tolerated by the skin because of its low levels of nicotinic acid (reduced to a max of 100 ppm). Niacinamide PC has skin-restoring properties that work wonders on menopausal skin: it improves collagen synthesis, and it also evens out the skin tone. Plus, recent research revealed that it proves a powerful ally in the latest challenges facing your customers: environmental pollution and light.

Wonder You Meringue Facial Cream

In the midst of the feel-good beauty trend, it’s more important than ever to create products that make women happy inside and out. This luxuriously rich cream is a mood-enhancing product that leaves your customers with a unique feeling of comfort and well-being.

The pampering cream concept was created by combining SYN-UP® and Niacinamide PC to address the needs of the skin’s vulnerable barrier as it ages.

SYN-UP® is our multi-functional low-molecular-weight peptide that rejuvenates skin and unlocks its longevity by inhibiting Plasmin and Urokinase and balancing the microbiome as it targets key bacteria. Furthermore, it reduces sensitivity and redness, increases barrier functionality, and smooths and firms skin by preventing the degradation of type IV Collagen and stimulating type I Collagen.

Artificial intelligence and molecular modeling helped us design and accurately predict both the effectiveness and mode of action of this powerhouse ingredient.

HYA-ACT™ In&On Wrinkle Filler Serum

Just like collagen and elastin, as women go through menopause, hyaluronic acid levels in the skin decline. Skin becomes parched and dehydrated with a weakened skin barrier, loss in volume and plumpness, and visible lines and wrinkles.

Harnessing the restorative powers of hyaluronic acid is crucial for dermal health during menopause since it regulates cell growth and hydration. But it’s important to note here that its molecular weight matters. As a result, we at dsm-firmenich enhanced the ‘Wonder’ You In&On Wrinkle Filler Serum with 3 molecular weights of hyaluronic acid.

HYA-ACT™ M stays on the surface of the skin for a dewy look and provides immediate hydration and strengthens the skin barrier.

HYA-ACT™ S penetrates the superficial layer of the epidermis to lock in moisture for an even greater hydration boost and plumps out fine lines.

HYA-ACT™ XS retains moisture from the inside and calms down reddened skin.

These 3 water-loving polysaccharides are combined with Vitamin B12 Cryst. Which combats dryness, itchiness, and redness - all symptoms of menopausal skin - by significantly reducing and regulating inflammasome and inflammatory cytokines. While it relieves sensitive and stressed skin, it also protects the skin barrier damage induced by inflammation and plays an integral part in speeding up cell recovery and regeneration. It also brings a beautiful pink color to your formulation

Wonder You Time Freeze Eye Serum

Menopause is a constantly changing process that can affect skin across all its stages. The fine lines that appear in perimenopause can become deeper and more pronounced with the passing of years.

The Time Freeze Eye Serum can press the pause button on wrinkle development by leveraging the time-freezing effects of SYN®-AKE. SYN®-AKE is our potent and patented tripeptide inspired by nature. It took 60 years to perfect the formula. Our scientists studied the venom of the Temple Viper to create an ingredient that mimics its effects to lift the face and plump fine lines and wrinkles. In vitro studies show that SYN®-AKE reduces the signs of time, by diminishing the appearance of wrinkles up to 20% in 4 weeks. And it makes time stand still, by preventing wrinkles with an age-freezing effect of up to 5 years.

In addition to SYN®-AKE, this formulation is infused with PEPHA®-AGE CB. This nature-inspired ingredient is an extract of the freshwater microalgae scenedesmus rubescens produced as a result of a sustainable biotech process in state-of-the-art photobioreactors.

The structure of algae is largely composed of amino acids, proteins, and vitamins, making it an ideal source of essential hydration. Algae-based ingredients cater to damaged and vulnerable skin by stimulating its own defense against UV and blue light, reducing oxidative stress, minimizing the appearance of aging, stimulating Collagen III (also known as the youth collagen), and reducing age spots and hyperpigmentation.

Inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals, our view on sustainability closely informed every product of our menopausal care line. In this case we’d like to mention particularly SDG 3, Good Health and Wellbeing, and SDG 5, Gender Equality. We care about the social and psychological impact of the health of women in general, and -with this product line- specifically about their skin and hair during menopause. Sustainability considerations inform additionally every step in the product life cycle – sourcing ingredients, labor, transportation, implementation in formulations, and how these are broken down. That is a lot of due diligence we do when creating a product that is kind to Earth.
ALPAFLOR® EDELWEISS CB, for example, is a flower extract cultivated between 1000m and 1500m altitude in the Swiss Alps as a result of our Farming for Beauty™ program. Edelweiss is a crop that enhances the area's biodiversity and harvesting the flowers offers jobs to the local community of farmers.
By choosing TILAMAR® PDO with NØØVISTA™ instead of European-produced synthetic propylene glycol, we help personal care brands efficiently reduce their Scope 3 emissions because it has an almost 30% lower carbon footprint.
Niacinamide PC and BeauPlex® VH now come with the Quality for Life™ seal that guarantees the highest Quality, Reliability, Traceability, and Sustainability standards. Our 2 biggest Vitamin production sites are RSPO-certified, Mass-Balance & Segregated, and the Life Cycle Assessment of our Vitamin E has confirmed that our manufacturing process generates up to 89% less GHG emissions from raw materials compared to conventional building blocks.
Moreover, PEPHA®-TIGHT CB is our Blue Technology hero that harnesses the many benefits of lab-grown algae for flawless skin. Its production not only ensures that the ingredient is high purity, but it does not disturb the algae’s natural environment.
