Acticire® MB

Acticire® MB is a 100% natural texturising agent made from a complex of three functionalised waxes of natural origin. The ingredient combines jojoba wax, sunflower seed wax and mimosa flower wax. Each of these waxes comes from plant sources and is obtained using gentle methods without synthetic solvents. Jojoba wax has a long history in natural cosmetics, sunflower wax provides stability, and mimosa wax contributes softness and smoothness. Together, they create a synergistic effect that enhances the quality of cosmetic formulations. Polyglycerin-3 in the formula acts as a natural stabiliser without unwanted side effects.

Function

Acticire® MB primarily acts as an intensive moisturising complex through the following mechanisms: the waxes form a protective film on the skin's surface, helping to prevent water loss and support hydration in the deeper layers of the epidermis. The complex wax system restores and strengthens the skin's natural lipid barrier, which is often disrupted by external factors. Thanks to its ability to penetrate the skin, the ingredient improves the penetration of other active ingredients in the formula. It keeps skin feeling soft and supple throughout the day, providing lasting comfort and smoothness. Research confirmed that combining plant waxes with iron increases skin elasticity by 23% after four weeks of application (Cosmetic Technology, 2022).

Recommendations

Acticire® MB is ideal for all skin types, especially dry, dehydrated, sensitive and mature skin. The ingredient is suitable for people with problem-prone and atopic skin, as it contains no irritants. Its gentle nature also makes it suitable for babies' and children's skin. People with sensitive and reactive skin will appreciate its soothing and protective properties. It is suitable as an additional ingredient in night creams, nourishing oils and serums for intensive care.

Acticire® MB meets the strict COSMOS certification standards, which guarantee the natural and organic origin of raw materials. COSMOS certification confirms that the ingredient comes from controlled organic farming or controlled wild harvesting, and that the entire production process follows sustainability principles without harming the environment (Soil Association Certification Limited and other recognised organisations).
