Metaesthetics: Where wellness becomes beauty

A clinically validated, 1:1 alternative to petrolatum that delivers the same TEWL reduction, supports barrier repair gene expression, and promotes key wound healing markers, all tested on 3D bioprinted skin. BotaniDesign isn’t just a carrier; it actively engages with skin biology. The texture is rich, glossy, and protective, with a feel that signals real performance. It is 100% naturally derived, biodegradable, and well-tolerated even at full strength. Use this as a foundational ingredient across deodorant, body care, and sun care formats, bringing a regenerative edge to each application.

Floraesters 30 is a biomimetic, skin-identical ester system designed to align with the intercellular lipid matrix of the stratum corneum, enabling rapid absorption and a low-residue, skin-congruent afterfeel. As a natural alternative to volatile silicones, it provides tunable emolliency and high spreadability without occlusion, supporting uniform film formation and improved active distribution. Its compatibility across a wide range of systems enhances application aesthetics, reduces whitening and soaping, and improves overall sensorial performance, making it well-suited for formulations where light, consistent, and residue-free delivery is critical.

A stable, protected form of Vitamin E provides antioxidant support that holds up in real formulations, helping defend against oxidative stress while supporting barrier integrity and skin resilience. Naturally derived and nearly odorless, it blends easily into a range of textures without impacting the sensorial profile, maintaining consistent performance from formulation through use.

In the context of modern care, Vitamin E is already familiar to the body. It plays a role in how skin protects and repairs itself, making it a natural fit for routines focused on recovery, maintenance, and long-term skin health.

Propolis, a resin produced by bees, delivers a complex profile of flavonoids, phenolic acids, and terpenes with multi-mechanism antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity. It controls odor-forming pathways while maintaining microbiome compatibility. In barrier and recovery formulations, it supports skin resilience with a biologically relevant, regeneration-aligned profile.

Arnica is a clinically recognized botanical for reducing bruising, inflammation, and soft-tissue swelling, making it well-suited for skin affected by procedures, injectables, or medication or condition-related sensitivity. It supports recovery in compromised skin while also addressing everyday micro-irritation from shaving, friction, or UV exposure. This positions it as a targeted recovery active across applications where calming, resilience, and visible repair are needed.

Film-forming system that improves UV filter adhesion, water resistance, and photostability in sun care. In lash and brow applications, it forms a light, flexible film that helps retain conditioning actives and supports pigment longevity in PMU and microblading aftercare. This same film supports performance under sweat, movement, and friction, helping formulas stay in place and maintain efficacy throughout wear.

A bio-sourced black pigment system for lash and brow applications that helps protect color from UV-driven fading, supporting both natural hair and treated areas. It is especially relevant for post-PMU and microblading care, helping maintain color intensity over time. In a routine built around maintenance and longevity, it supports the results consumers have already invested in and helps extend them through daily use.

A multi-functional active that targets the full acne cycle, helping regulate sebum, reduce inflammation, control bacterial overgrowth, and improve post-inflammatory marks. Promoting products aligned with routines built around consistency and maintenance. It supports skin that is regularly under stress from sweat, occlusion, treatments, and daily wear, helping keep breakouts, irritation, and texture shifts from disrupting that baseline.

Delivers dense, stable foam with a soft, low-irritation profile, making it easy to build creamy, cushiony lather without harshness. Its lower viscosity makes it easy to work into gel and scrub systems while helping maintain a smooth, spreadable texture.

In experience-led formats like at-home head spa scrubs, it supports that rich, massaging foam that builds quickly, holds during manipulation, and rinses clean without stripping. It gives enough cushion for scalp massage while keeping the feel soft, controlled, and comfortable, so the routine feels intentional, not abrasive or drying.

a unique sensory agent that provides a warming effect to the skin. The effect can be felt immediately upon application, building rapidly within the first five minutes and lasting up to two hours. Structurally similar to natural warming agents, it is less irritating than capsaicin or capsicum extract.

Swiftly delivers a refreshing sensation with a subtle chamomile-mint aroma. Menthyl Lactate refreshes and revitalizes the skin, calming irritation and inflammation. It helps maintain optimal moisture balance, nourishing and softening the skin. Additionally, it offers gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, promoting a smoother, more refined texture.
