Clariant's CycloRetin™: new launch in the skincare market to activate ageless beauty

• Clariant unveils CycloRetin, a natural skincare active, ahead of in-cosmetics Global 2024 in Paris
• CycloRetin, derived from prince ginseng, offers gentler and equally effective benefits compared to traditional retinol

MUTTENZ, March 26, 2024 - At in-cosmetics Global 2024 in Paris Clariant is debuting CycloRetin, a natural skincare active. Found in prince ginseng, CycloRetin activates the benefits offered by retinol while being naturally gentle.

CycloRetin’s heterophyllin B molecule is a groundbreaking cyclic peptide that enhances skin matrix production, improving collagen and reducing signs of aging. With efficacy comparable to retinol and bakuchiol, CycloRetin supports youthful skin without compromise. Soluble in water and with minimal concentrations needed, it is eco-friendly. Showcased at in cosmetics 2024 are two formulations containing CycloRetin – Firming Mask and Mask Mist – offering efficient skincare.

Julie Droux, Global Technical Marketing Manager for Actives and Natural Origins, explains: "While exploring the benefits of cyclic peptides in our lab we discovered prince ginseng’s outstanding potential to restart the skin matrix production cycle. Highly effective even at low concentrations, peptides play a crucial role in supporting youthful skin appearance."
