HYPER-FERMENTED ALOE

Our key active ingredient, exclusive to OLOS. 

 

Aloe undergoes a process that combines double fermentation with enzymatic bio-liquefaction to boost its beneficial properties. 
Selected by OLOS, this ingredient offers a technological approach that enhances cosmetic formulations.

 

 

Fermentation has been essential for transforming and preserving foods for millennia.

In the cosmetic industry, this process allows for exploiting an organic ferment to produce innovative active ingredients.

The fermentation process requires free sugars; that’s why the process is more difficult to achieve with leaves, roots, and flowers, which are not rich in sugar.

But now, OLOS is introducing a cutting-edge solution that combines an enzymatic bioliquefaction process and a double fermentation process to overcome these limitations and exploit fermentation’s full potential.

This new process is much more powerful and effective than fermentation alone.

The aloe leaf is reacted with hydrolytic enzymes, which cut the leaf’s fibers, just like a pair of scissors. This way, they break them down into simple sugars, creating the perfect environment for ferments to grow.

Saccharomyces and lactobacillus are the two ferments used in this process. They incorporate sugar and produce protein and antioxidants.

In line with the OLOS approach, the process does not use organic solvents and relies on water, enzymes and ferments. These characteristics help reduce the use of chemicals traditionally employed in certain extraction processes. 

The result is an extract that contains all of aloe’s active ingredients plus all the substances produced during the fermentation process (proteins, amino acids, and antioxidants).

Tests conducted on this innovative active ingredient show that compared to standard aloe, hyper-fermented aloe:

  • Is more moisturizing
  • Contains 100% more free polyphenols
  • Contains 100% more amino acids and proteins
  • Has a more potent antioxidant effect

ginseng

Indian Ginseng

The active ingredient is derived from a plant cultivated in Oregon, USA, a region characterised by warm summers and a Mediterranean climate. It is cultivated using agricultural practices adopted by growers committed to preserving the local environmental balance. Ashwagandha is harvested in October, six months after sowing. The plant is entirely uprooted; the usable parts are selected, dried in a dryer, cut and cleaned, without the use of solvents. A high concentration of beneficial components can be extracted from then plant using a patented active ingredient extraction process, without out the use of organic solvents. The American variety of Ashwagandha has a known, distinct and certifiable genetic profile and contains higher and more consistent levels of amino acids than its Asian counterpart. The active content of this plant is therefore guaranteed and consistent in every batch. The active ingredient promotes cellular energy and vitality, reduces signs of fatigue, brightens the skin and protects it against external aggressors.

Rambutan

Rambutan

OLOS uses a variety of rambutan grown in Vietnam. Selected producers work with local communities through structured employment relationships and dedicated training initiatives for those involved in plant cultivation. The active ingredient is extracted using a process developed to maximise the plant’s beneficial components. It is rich in corilagin, a polyphenol-rich substance, known for its collagen-supporting properties Rambutan stimulates collagen and elastin production, visibly reducing wrinkles through a mechanism similar to that of retinol.

Nasturtium extract, Arugula extract and Phytic acid

A complex created in our laboratories to help protect the skin against external aggressors such as indoor and outdoor pollution, blue light and wireless radiation. Tested in vitro to evaluate its mechanism of action, this complex is added to all formulations specifically designed for mature skin and to fight signs of premature skin ageing. Nasturtium extract is obtained through an extraction method that does use chemical solvents. This process yields purified molecules intended for cosmetic use. The active ingredient helps fight free radicals, promoting a more even and fresher-looking complexion. Rocket extract, obtained using molecular bioliquefaction to enhance the biologically active fraction of the ingredient, helps support the skin’s natural defences. It also plays a role in several biological processes involved in protecting and maintaining skin balance. Phytic acid, a natural extract derived from rice, is known for its antioxidant and chelating properties and helps protect the skin against pollutants.

castagna

Chestnut

Chestnut seed extract is sourced from a certified crops in the Corrèze area of central France. A partnership has been established to ensure the standardised cultivation, plant traceability and a certified supply chain. The active ingredient stimulates mitochondrial energy metabolism and enzymatic activity to maintain improved epidermal cohesion; it promotes lipid synthesis, reduces dehydration, regulates flaking and helps maintain the skin barrier function.

cleome

Cleome Gynandra

Also known as ‘cat’s whiskers’ due to its distinctive shape, this perennial plant found in fruit and vegetable ecosystems is often consumed as food. The Cleome Gynandra used by OLOS is sourced from certified organically-grown crops in Burkina Faso. The active ingredient is extracted through a patented process that uses only the plant’s leaves, which are harvested and then dried. This ingredient helps optimise sebum production and reduce inflammation. It also helps restore the hydrolipidic film and improve skin texture.

Eliocriso

Helichrysum

The extract is obtained from plants grown in the south of France. The traceable supply chain means that the various stages of cultivation can be monitored. Helichrysum is known for its exceptional resilience to the elements and its ability to keep its flowers vibrant even in challenging conditions. In OLOS formulations, the extract helps stimulate tissue regeneration and improve skin density, for firmer-looking skin.

oli

Complex of Plant Oils

A complex featuring five plant oils of natural origin with nourishing, emollient and softening properties, developed for use on skin and hair. Macadamia oil being the key ingredient. Extracted from the fruit of the macadamia plant, it is naturally rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, including palmitoleic acid, and contains vitamins and minerals, including potassium, phosphorus and calcium.

Jania Rubens Coral Algae

A rare red seaweed known for its distinctive feathery shape. With its characteristic forked tips, the name of the seaweed harps back to Janus, the Roman god. To preserve the species, the seaweed used by OLOS is reproduced in the laboratory and developed using bioreactor technology which allows it to grow under controlled conditions. The active ingredient is extracted using a dedicated process. The active ingredient helps reduce fatty acid accumulation and synthesis and promotes cellular homeostasis and optimal water balance within the cells. It does this by influencing aquaporin production, promoting a firmer dermo-epidermal junction.

Undaria Pinnatifida Algae

Also known as Wakame, it is well-known in traditional Japanese cuisine and has been widely studied for its properties. The active ingredient is extracted through a process that uses thermal water from Propriac in France. The active ingredient is produced in a controlled supply chain, which pays particular attention to seaweed harvesting and sourcing methods. The active ingredient in OLOS formulations helps promote the breakdown of excess fat by inhibiting the body’s ability to store lipids and preventing the formation of new fat deposits. It also helps to stimulate the consumption of fatty acids in mature adipocytes.
