A New Botanical Active for Resilient Skin
Sensitive skin afflicts a staggering 70% of women and 60% of men globally. This statistic reveals a rather universal conundrum, affecting the masses regardless of gender.
The Harmony of Tradition and Science
In these modern times, transparency and efficiency are what consumers hold dear. Ameriflor Calm graciously steps in, reducing redness, fortifying the skin barrier, and enhancing resistance against environmental challenges. Lucilene Veira-Nunes, from BASF Beauty Care Solutions, highlights its blend of Indigenous plant wisdom and contemporary science.
Enter the Self-Heal plant (Prunella vulgaris). This botanical marvel has graced the traditional practices of Indigenous tribes, such as the Nitassinan and Algonquin-speaking nations, for generations. Ameriflor Calm marries this rich heritage with cutting-edge bioactive compounds.
Demonstrated Efficacy in Clinical Trials
Clinically tested on sensitive skin sufferers, Ameriflor Calm was applied at a 1% concentration for 28 days. At intervals of 7 and 28 days, results were observed. Within a mere week, skin redness decreased by 10%, outshining the placebo’s 8% improvement. Moreover, Trans-epidermal water loss showed an 11% enhancement, offering substantial relief.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Ameriflor Calm exemplifies BASF’s dedication to sustainability. Under the Responsibly Active program, this ingredient is sourced responsibly from Oregon’s regenerative organic farms, certified by the Regenerative Organic Alliance.
Full traceability is assured, alongside fair labor practices and environmental care. The production site stands out for utilizing 100% renewable electricity, effectively curbing CO2 emissions.
Ethical and Environmental Measures
Such commitment supports ethical sourcing and environmental stewardship, a testament to the company’s holistic approach. The regenerative practices enrich local ecosystems and communities alike.
This exemplary initiative illuminates a path towards a sustainable and ethical future. Through Ameriflor Calm, sensitive skin finds a formidable ally, and the planet gains a conscientious caretaker.
