Tri-K Industries Launches TMP Skin Protectant

Tri-K TMP is a type III anti-freeze protein that offers skin protection against daily stress. It provides fortification and protection to the skin against harsh environments and below freezing temperatures.

Proteins bind to cellular membranes to modulate environmental changes and protect from fluctuations in temperature and osmotic pressure. The original source of anti-freeze proteins was cold-water fish, but now one type has been cloned into baker’s yeast, Saccharonmyces cevevisiae.

Tri-K Industries now offers skin care benefits of the protein to the cosmetics and personal care industry. Studies indicate that Tri-K TMP allows skin to defend itself against environmental pollution and UV rays, in addition to repairing itself after exposure. This multi-functional ingredient improves the overall health and appearance of skin by reducing redness and irritation with an added benefit of moisturization. More info: www.tri-k.com

Arde Barinco Introduces  Reversible Mixer

Arde Barinco Inc., manufacturer and dist- ributor of high capability, mixing, wet grinding, size reduction and emulsification equipment has introduced the model CJ-2A Reversible Homogenizer.

The CJ-2A is designed to prepare fine grain emulsions and solid particle dispersions quickly and efficiently in small batches. Results can be scaled-up to larger batches up to 10,000 liters.

The model CJ-2A has a 0.25 HP 15,000 RPM reversible motor. The reversible homogenizer has a unique down-mode that is capable of drawing and wetting out floating powders as well as re-suspending any settled solids on the bottom of the mixing vessel. In the up-mode, a high velocity flow is impinged on an adjustable baffle plate. The baffle plate deflects the flow of liquid to the sidewalls of the vessel by preventing aeration and splashing. Accompanying the CJ-2A reversible homogenizing mixer are two stainless steel mixing containers (250ml. and 600ml.), stand and reversible variable speed control box.

Silab Repairs Skin Cells with Longevicell and Adaptonyl

To revive cellular metabolism and   overcome the deficiencies of the skin, Silab introduced Longevicell, a cell regenerator. Obtained from myrtle for its rejuvenating virtues, Longevicell slows senescence markers and dermal degeneration by acting on longevity, controlling intercellular communication and preserving the function of skin tissues.

Longevicell acts on the molecular mechanisms involved in cell and tissue longevity and stimulates SIRT-1 synthesis while regulating and reorganizing cell-to-cell communication. Longevicell also blocks the phenomenon of protein glycation, which offers skin “a new youth” when used in anti-aging products, according to Silab.

Adaptonyl is based on Ayurvedic folk medicine and is developed from ashwagandha, Indian ginseng. The oldest medical care system in the world, Ayurveda is the science of life and longevity that strengthens components of natural equilibria in order to maintain the health and happiness of an individual.

Adaptonyl ensures the regeneration of stressed cells in extreme conditions by reactivating their development. It also limits the degradation of the dermal matrix and restores the integrity of the barrier function. Adaptonyl helps skin adapt to extreme stress by boosting cell recovery and reinforcing skin protection systems. More info: www.silab.com
