What are the recommended applications for Zenakine?
Zenakine can be added in all skin and scalp care products. It is suitable for cold process, clear and colourless formulas.
Our formulation laboratory designed a kit of inspiring formulas to support cosmetic brands in their product development. This includes a harmonising beauty mist, an adaptive relaxing face serum and a timeless sleeping mask.
What claims could marketeers make by using Zenakine in their products?
By incorporating Zenakine in their formulations, cosmetic brands might be able to make neurocosmetic claims in accordance with cosmetic regulations. Zenakine alleviates cortisol damage into the skin to slow down premature ageing. By synchronising skin melatonin, it helps improve sleep quality, boost happiness, and promotes smoother, more hydrated, and resilient skin.
