Various aesthetic properties can be achieved with VITIPURE TM depending on addition order: Water phase aqueous & light touch Oil phase caring feel At the end rich and substantive feel The addition of VITIPURE could lead to moderately higher viscosities. It is best to incorporate the product below 50 C, although temperatures of 80 C are tolerated for a brief period. VITIPURE is stable over a wide ph range. Recommended Use Levels VITIPURE can be used in the range of 0.5 2.0%. Studies conducted on the anti-aging and skin repair benefits of VITIPURE included 1.5% VITIPURE TM Feeling in test formulations. VITIPURE can be used in the range of 0.5 1.0% for a sensory effect. Compatibility There are no known incompatibilities for VITIPURE in cosmetic products. For Deco-Cosmetics the use of VITIPURE Sensation is recommended due to its smaller particle size. Solubility VITIPURE is easily dispersible in water, oil and hydroalcoholic solutions.
VITIPURE TM VITIPURE TM is a novel biotech innovation that benefits consumers of all age groups by providing the advantages derived from natural products without sacrificing product performance or aesthetics. VITIPURE TM has been shown to enhance skin elasticity and firmness, while making it feel luxuriously smooth to the touch. The unique complex provides superior benefits for skin repair and anti-aging. The unique, patented biopolymer, VITIPURE TM, consists of a covalently linked chitin-glucan polysaccharide complex. It is of vegetal origin, derived from bio-fermentation of Aspergillus Niger. This novel approach to vegetal chitin provides a unique solution for healthy, youthful skin.

Anti-Aging Benefits Multi-dimensional wrinkle reduction using cream with 1.5% VITIPURE TM Feeling had a significant reduction in the number and depth of skin microreliefs, as determined using image analysis. The total wrinkled surface area was reduced by 24% after only 8 weeks. 90% of panelists observed a positive effect in the 16 week study. Cream Efficacy According to a subjective questionnaire, the panelists perceived Softer skin: 90% More lifted skin: 77% Smoother complexion: 75% More hydrated skin: 71% Instrumentation N=20, Age 57-60, Women Moisturizing cream containing 1.5% VITIPURE Feeling vs. control Twice daily to the crow s feet region for 16 weeks Image analysis of skin replica Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Significant smoothing of skin microrelief was achieved in just 4 weeks with a cream containing 1.5% VITIPURE TM Feeling, in comparison to the control cream. Consistent improvement occurred throughout the 16 week study. Optical Profilometry Fine lines, wrinkles, and deep microreliefs due to aging, were quantified using optical profilometry. A lower Rz value indicates smoother skin. Smoother skin provides a more healthy, radiant appearance.

Skin Repair Benefits Improved skin hydration with prolonged use Skin hydration significantly increased for panelists using a cream with 1.5% VITIPURE Feeling throughout the 16 week study. Short-term and long-term hydration benefits were observed in comparison to the control cream. Time (weeks) 0 4 8 VITIPURE is an excellent water-binding biopolymer, capable of retaining 10 times its own weight in water. It forms an efficient, nonocclusive barrier that limits water loss through evaporation. A higher electrical capacitance value indicates greater water retention capacity of the stratum corneum. 12 16 Smooth skin 50 55 60 65 70 Electrical Capacitance Measurement, arbitrary units Cream with VITIPURE TM Feeling 1.5% Control Statistical Significance: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 vs. control Instrumentation N=20, Age 54-62, Men Moisturizing cream containing 1.5% VITIPURE Feeling vs. control Twice daily to forearm for 16 weeks Corneometer Measurement 10h post-application Enhanced overall health of compromised skin VITIPURE TM Feeling reduced the physical parameters associated with Atopic Dermatitis and the need for steroid cream in just 1 week.
