For many years women of menopausal age have expressed that they feel disregarded in the beauty and cosmetics industry, which, given that menopausal hormonal changes can significantly affect women’s skin and hair, is hugely disappointing.
However, with this gap in the market clearly in strong demand, it’s great to see a positive trend emerging around the niche menopausal market, as formulators begin to focus on developing personal care products that are designed specifically to help women experiencing menopause.
Here at Chemlink Specialities, we’re proud to offer a wide selection of ingredients that can be used to help you formulate for menopause skin and hair care products. Here are just a few:
DOLCÉVIA® by Sinerga
This pure active ingredient has a 100% natural origin and is extracted from fine Stevia Rebaudiana dry leaves. It works by counteracting the effects that daily stress can have on the skin by soothing and reducing micro-muscular involuntary contractions. Its rapid de-stressing action restores a stress-free and youthful complexion, which can be noticed after just 7 days, with skin becoming smoother, more pampered and regenerated.
Coolin by Labio
Coolin is a fermented natural extract from a Finnish mushroom (Albatrellus confluens) that, through the fermentation process and the metabolite produced, works on TRPV1, modulating skin temperature and leaving a soothing and cooling feel.
Albatrellus confluens is a small puff ball (also known as a sheep polypore) that offers some impressive benefits alongside the cooling effect of Grifolin. It also contains some key fatty acids such as Oleic acid and Linoleic acid which promote a healthy skin barrier and Tannic acid which is an anti-oxidant. The extract also contains certain minerals to help protect the skin barrier and promote a brighter skin complex.
Olive Active Maslínico by EG Actives
This natural active strengthens and enhances the repair mechanisms of the skin, counteracting the effects of ageing and rejuvenating the cellular epigenome. It has the ability to help the skin recover its volume and thickness and make it appear smoother and softer. It also enhances the skin’s moisture and helps it regain its morphology, all of which make it ideal for mature or damaged skin.
BioPlavia by Labio
This powerful anti-ageing active is based on ‘Placental Pharmacology’ and contains five different safely synthesised growth factors: EGF, IGF-1, Acidic FGF, Basic FGF and VEGF. While being of 100% vegetable origin, it boasts brilliant clinical test results on wrinkles and fine lines, and revitalises, moisturises and elasticises the skin.
