Executive Summary
Evonik: Wrinkle smoother HyaCare Filler CL is a "topical alternative to injectables," firm says at recent in-cosmetics exhibition. A "unique crosslinked polysaccharide" based on "very pure, fermentation-derived hyaluronic acid," HyaCare hydrates, increases elasticity and smoothes skin's surface, "instantly fill[ing] fine lines and wrinkles." Evonik recommends the active for facial moisturizers, sun care and anti-aging serums, as well as eye creams and "special care for expression lines." Firm also introduces TEGO Xymenynic, which it says provides "firmer-looking, resilient skin" and minimizes the appearance of cellulite or "orange peel skin." Extracted from Sandalwood seeds "collected by the Government Forest Department, maintaining the sustainability of the species," ingredient contains 20% Xymenynic acid "to boost cellular detoxification mechanisms and to alleviate adverse symptoms of skin inflammation" and can be used in body-contouring and bust-firming products, skin-tightening creams and anti-sagging eye treatments, firm says
