soothing sensitive skin

SOOTHING Actives
A scientific & holistic approach for greater skin comfort and resilience

A specialist of skin discomfort and fragility for over 40 years, Symrise CI has been among the firsts to acknowledge sensitivity as a specific state of the skin. This has been the starting point of a dedicated research & development program. Scientific findings are constantly cross-referenced with market data on how sensitivity is being defined across the globe, in order to create solutions delivering optimal consumer experience.

One of our latest innovation was to develop an objective analytical tool based on AI to grade skin sensitivity with high correlation between self-perception and Hyperspectral image analysis! This is how we define the Skin sensitivity index.

The Symrise portfolio of soothing actives was originally based on the established expertise in the design of pure molecules – including the purest synthetic bisabolol or advanced solutions in the field of Oat Avenanthramides. In now extends to a wide range of natural and biotechnology ingredients offering targeted answers, such as restoring the skin’s barrier function, correcting redness, modulating neurosensory cascading reactions as well as novel probiotic solutions based on the SymProBiome™ Platform.

 

BARRIER STRENGTHENING Reinforce & Maintain skin barrier integrity

 

The most important function of the epidermal barrier is to protect the body against uncontrolled water loss, physical effects like mechanical stress, heat and radiation, the penetration of harmful substances and chemical damages. Skin barrier impairment leads to a deficiency in structural integrity and key stratum corneum lipids like ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol. As a consequence, the penetration of irritants and other harmful substances into the skin and the transepidermal water loss out of the skin are increased. Thus, one key element for efficient skin soothing is the reconstitution of the barrier in the stratum corneum.

ITCH REDUCER – Break the cycle of itch & scratch

 

Consumers distinctively discriminate itchiness among the many symptoms of sensitive skin. They also perceive itchiness as being the result of an inflammatory chain reaction calling for intelligent skin care. A long time ago Symrise started to intensively research oat (Avena sativa) which has been traditionally applied for its skin calming and anti-itch properties. Symrise has been a pioneer in investigating the active principles and constituents of oat. As a result of this research, it was possible to successfully identify, isolate and even synthesize the principle components responsible for itch and redness reduction and for a skin more comfortable, a group of phenolic amides unique to oat, known as avenanthramides.
