Caressense™ Biofunctional

INCI Propanediol (and) Water (Aqua) (and) Jasminum Grandiflorum Flower extract

Caressense™ Biofunctional from Ashland was inspired by emotional beauty and the "science of love." It has been clinically proven to improve emotional well-being, relax signs of aging, and provide a healthy glow to skin. It is made using sustainable, patented biotechnology called Phytofermentology™. This process, which does not have added ferments or toxic solvents, uses phytobiota from native flowers to biotransform the petals' content into potent phytomolecules.

The organic royal jasmine extraction is combined with water and plant-based propanediol resulting in an age-defying ingredient that is rich in flower peptides and bioactive phytonutrients. The Jasminum Grandiflorum flowers are sustainably grown in Provence, France where they are cultivated and hand-picked to avoid damage and keep them fresh. Because of the renewable and traceable nature of the fresh jasmine source and the natural processing and phytofermentation method, Caressense™ Biofunctional has a clean INCI, does not contain preservatives, is readily biodegradable, and is COSMOS validated.

Caressense™ Biofunctional activates and boosts piezo1 (skin touch sensor) for a release of the skin's oxytocin to release "feel-good" and anti-aging molecules. It boosts e-cadherin to limit tissue sagging and boosts collagen I and hyaluronic acid. In a double-blind clinical study, volunteers experienced fewer forehead lines, better skin fortification due to decreased water loss, better skin clarity, a more radiant appearance, and more physiological well-being.
