Soothing the Skin Naturally: The Power of Gentle, Sustainable Ingredients from TRI-K

Do consumers want soothing & gentle ingredients?

The demand for gentle skincare for more sensitive skin is evident from the market trends. For instance, SPATE NYC reported over 10k monthly searches for rosacea moisturizer and non-comedogenic moisturizers, indicating a strong consumer desire for products that provide repair and care for their skin without being harsh or damaging. Additionally, sustainability in skincare is gaining traction, with consumers increasingly favoring products with recyclable packaging and ingredients that are minimally harmful to the environment. This shift reflects changing consumer attitudes towards sustainability and environmental responsibility, presenting a significant opportunity for brands to develop clean, safe, and sustainable skincare products that resonate with the growing market for gentle and eco-friendly skincare solutions.

The quest for ingredients that are both gentle on the skin and sustainable for the planet is a constant journey. At TRI-K, we're proud to offer a range of ingredients that meet these criteria, providing skincare formulators and personal care brands with solutions that are as kind to the environment as they are to the skin. Our featured ingredients - Alpha Bisabolol Natural, Aloe Vera Powder 200x SD, Hemp Tein Z NPNF®, and TRIglyphix® Sense - are all champions of this cause, each offering unique benefits that soothe and reduce skin irritation while adhering to sustainable and ethical practices.

Alpha Bisabolol Natural

Alpha Bisabolol is a natural anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory agent that promotes healing and soothing. It is a major component of German chamomile and is often found in essential oils. It can also be synthetically produced. TRI-K Alpha Bisabolol Natural is sourced from the Candeia tree and contains 100% (-)-α-bisabolol, the only biologically active isomer, while the synthetic version of the product contains only 50% (racemic mixture (±) α-bisabolol). This colorless, viscous oil is known for its antioxidant properties, which help reduce the signs of aging and keep skin firm and youthful. It is thought to provide antioxidant effects for the skin that may help the appearance of aging.

In addition to its skin benefits, Alpha Bisabolol Natural is sourced sustainably, adhering to the Nagoya protocol, ensuring fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources. It's also REACH compliant, COSMOS certified, and vegan, kosher, halal, non-GMO, and EU compliant. A seedling nursery and plant cultivation program has planted over one million seedlings to conserve Candeia trees, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable production.

Additionally, it is non-GMO, vegan, and compliant with the Brazilian Biodiversity Law, aligning with sustainable and ethical sourcing practices.
