SCALPINIST® - SENSO - Discover the secret of oily scalp relief
SCALPINIST® - SENSO is a unique active ingredient designed for sensitive-oily scalp. Its novel and holistic approach aims to alleviate scalp discomfort within two weeks by restoring balance to the disturbed micro biome and reducing scalp sebum through a simple rinse-off application. It is obtained by extracting Maclura cochinchinensis leaves, rich in prenylated bioflavonoids.
Clinical rinse-off studies have shown that SCALPINIST® - SENSO significantly reduces scalp sebum and slows the re-greasing of the scalp after washing. Moreover, the active restores scalp balance by alleviating feelings of discomfort. By decreasing sebum production, SCALPINIST ® - SENSO directly influences the scalp microbiota, restoring its balance
ILLUMISCIN® - GLOW - Discover the secret of superior skin luminosity for all skin types
ILLUMISCIN® - GLOW provides a bright and even skin complexion for consumers around the globe, regardless of ethnicity or gender. Hordatines, obtained from upcycled brewers’ barley sprouts, were identified by AI as brand-new inhibitors of tyrosinase, a key modulator of our skin tone.
In-vitro studies have shown that ILLUMISCIN® - GLOW inhibits tyrosinase and blocks melanin synthesis. It does so by taking advantage of hordatines, a novel class of tyrosinase inhibitors. Hordatines showed superior binding to human tyrosinase as determined by molecular docking experiments using AI technology. In-silico analysis has shown that hordatines have better binding capabilities than Thiamidol® , kojic acid, arbutin, ascorbic acid and other commonly used tyrosinase inhibitors.
PERFELINE®-FIT - Discover the secret of vascular fitness for eyes and body
PERFELINE®-FIT is obtained by means of water-based extraction of Helichrysum italicum syn angustifolium. It contains chlorogenic acid and di-O-caffeoylquinic acids, which are used to reinforce the plant’s capillary system. We used this in a biomimetic way to strengthen the micro-vessels in human skin. PERFELINE®-FIT inhibits nitric oxide synthase, responsible for the generation of the strong vasodilator nitric oxide.
Clinical studies have shown that PERFELINE®-FIT significantly reduces the visibility of puffy eyes and spider veins. It smoothes and soothes the skin by reducing the microcirculation. It even counteracts an increase in the microcirculation on exposure to heat stress, thus reducing redness of the face.
HAIRVIVINE®-PRO - Discover the secret of en’hair’gising
HAIRVIVINE®-PRO is a water-based extract derived from the seeds of the Styrian pumpkin Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca. It contains valuable nutrients in the form of amino acids and carbohydrates that support the physiological functioning of hair follicles.
Clinical studies have shown that HAIRVIVINE®-PRO improves the density of hair per cm2 and reduces hair loss. Furthermore, it stimulates eyelash and eyebrow growth. HAIRVIVINE®-PRO leads to an improvement of numerous eye appearance parameters assessed on the basis of subjective perception and visual inspection.
Application Lab
The two cosmetic laboratories in Zurich (CH) and London (UK) were created mainly for the technical support of the RAHN sales crew.
Due to many years of developmental experiences with both our own and other Cosmetic raw materials, increasingly customised developments are created alongside official formulations.
Meanwhile, the primarily formulation-oriented laboratory has evolved into a flexible and comprehensive service pool. Also provided are additional services such as: phone consultancy for new developments or developmental problems, product samples, dosage, marketing claim proposition and manufacture regulation.
