Personal Care Products (inc. Elixia and Peau de Vierge)
Discovery research at Phosphagenics has shown that α-tocopheryl phosphate (TP) is a natural molecule with increased activity over standard Vitamin E (α tocopherol). TP has scientifically proven anti-inflammatory properties, it reduces redness, protects against UV induced photo damage, and also helps to heal and prevent acne. The structure of TP allows it to act as a penetration enhancer, increasing dermal absorption compared to tocopherol acetate and α-tocopherol, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the skin for increased action. TP is also able to increase the penetration of molecules formulated in the same cream.
Phosphagenics’ investment in Pharmaceutical research and development has highlighted the unique benefits of mixtures of mono- and di-α-tocopheryl phosphate (TPM). This extensive research now allows Phosphagenics to take advantage of a unique commercial opportunity to produce a series of dermatological products that actually work, with claims based upon scientific rigor rather than marketing and hype. Applying TPM™ to the cosmeceutical market will allow Phosphagenics to tap into a multi-billion dollar market.
Venturing into the Australian market, Phosphagenics has successfully developed its first skincare line called Elixia® due for launch through pharmacies in the first quarter of 2010. Six luxurious products in the range have been created to appeal to the increasing desire for 'younger looking skin' - products such as a Nourishing Anti-Oxidant Serum, a Multi V Tinted Moisturiser and a Multi V Body Lotion are on offer to firm, nourish, hydrate, brighten, protect and boost skin’s vitality, appearance and texture.
All Elixia® products in the range include the patented TPM™ Targeted Penetration Matrix Delivery Technology, scientifically proven to deliver up to 4 times more* natural active ingredients up to 20 times deeper* into skin.
Phosphagenics, in partnership with Le Métier de Beauté, has created Peau de Vierge Anti-Aging Complex Tinted Treatment Fluid and Peau de Vierge Correcteur Concealer both containing TPM and 1% retinol. These products were launched in November 2009 at the prestigious Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus stores in the USA.
