This "green technology" has a very high-quality performance in terms of being able to extract all the active ingredients in the plant and not leave any residue in the raw material. The fact that carbon dioxide is recyclable into the process also makes the method an environmentally friendly method. In addition, carbon dioxide acts as a cleaning agent, which allows the destruction of microorganisms during the process.
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic Acid is derived from the metabolism of salicin. In addition to being an important active metabolite of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), which acts in part as a prodrug to Salicylic Acid, it is probably best known for its use in anti-acne treatments. Salicylic Acid is used as a food preservative and as a bactericidal and antiseptic.
SAP-Hexuron™
SAP-Hexuron™ (SAP) is a stable vitamin C derivative that is cleaved enzymatically in the skin to release active vitamin C. It is produced by direct phosphorylation of ascorbic acid sodium salt where I-acorbic acid is suspended in oxygenated, nonhydroxylic solvent together with sodium and then treated with a phosphorylating agent. SAP-Hexuron™ is soluble in water and does not degrade in aqueous formulas. It is also an antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals, effectively slowing down the aging process and formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

Sodium hyaluronate promotes moisturization and plumps the skin which minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Sodium Hyaluronate 1% Solution is suitable for use in cosmetic preparations such as creams, lotions, lipstick, pre/after shave, cleansers and hair care.
T-Hexuron®
T-Hexuron® is a stable form of Vitamin C, more specifically, it is the tetra-ester of ascorbic acid and isopalmitic acid. T-Hexuron® is oil-soluble, which means it not only penetrates the epidermis (the uppermost layer of your skin) but also goes farther into the dermis, the deeper layer—which is where it needs to be to stimulate collagen production. Finally, T-Hexuron® is also known to clarify and brighten the skin by inhibiting melanogenesis (the production of pigment) thereby promoting a more even skin tone.
