Surfing the sensolene® technology

Sensolene®
Higly Functional Dermollient
In occasion of the In-Cosmetics Asia B&T launched the Sensolene®,
a new functional active ingredient.
Endowed with emollient properties, it allies high level of compatibility and stability while providing elegant appearence and texture to the formulation.
Sensolene® is derived from the olive chemistry; it has been engineered with a fatty acid composition that mimics what found in the hydrolipidic film covering the surface of the epidermis and involved in both skin barrier function and skin sensorial properties.
Furthermore, through a specific reaction, those fatty acids were integrated into a molecular structure that resembles squalene and also squalane.

Sensolene® is thus physiologically compatible with the hydrolipidic film and mimics one of the most important molecular component.

As a formulation ingredient, Sensolene® is stable and generates products with unique sensorial properties.

- Strong emollient active
- Skin sensorial enhancer
- Natural silicone-like emollien
- Excellent dermatological well-matched
