Clean beauty should be transparent

Our iActive™ brand stems from our collaboration with the USDA. iActive and the ingredients we develop are meant to be unpretentious, straightforward, and presented factually to B2B customers. There needs to be zero confusion about how an ingredient or personal care product works.

iActive Feruloyl Glycerides are new, scientifically developed natural personal care ingredients that combine the UV-stablization and antioxidant properties of ferulic acid with the formulation advantages of natural oils.

Ferulic acid and its derivatives are known to possess powerful UV-protective and antioxidant properties due to their ability to form stabilized radicals when exposed to environmental oxidants or UV radiation. Because of these properties, ferulic acid has found its way into numerous personal care products and is frequently combined with commonly used UV-sensitive ingredients, such as vitamin C, vitamin E and others.

However, we believe that the potential of ferulic acid has not been explored enough by cosmetic and personal care brands. Our patented FeruliShield™ provides an improved Ferulic Acid performance.

Feruloyl Glycerides are made by enzymatically linking ferulic acid to a triglyceride like soybean or coconut oil.  The resulting products are stable, easy to formulate, lipophilic, readily absorbed, and provide long-lasting protection from environmental damage, such as the sun. They also help maintain the efficacy of other active ingredients in skincare by protecting against photodegradation and can be used as an SPF booster.

In this day and age, now more than ever, sun protection and preserving health should be at the forefront of our minds.

FeruliShield™ can be added into many types of products, such as skincare (cleansers, serums, creams and lotions); sunscreens, of course; hair care (shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments, and masks); and even cosmetics (foundations, primers, settings sprays, etc.); allowing all of these potential products to shield you from the sun damage.
