Based on ginger root, Symrise’s new SymVital AR is a 100% natural active that protects and improves the skin’s smoothness, complexion regularity and homogeneity, thanks to its “antioxidant and soothing activities”.

Eco-friendly extraction

Ginger has “a long history of use for food and pharmaceutical application,” says Symrise. It has a wide variety of medicinal, pharmaceutical and cosmetic effects and is part of many traditional remedies all over the world for its multiple properties. The Germany-based supplier of active ingredients uses an eco-friendly process to extract the main components of ginger with soothing and antioxidant activity. “Thanks to a multistep separation process the final extract is enriched with the two main compounds responsible for the benefits in skin care application.

Skin appearance

SymVital AR is proven to significantly smooth wrinkles and even the skin tone in 21 days and also help to reduce signs of sun damages in less than two weeks,Symrise claims.

Tests using a cream with 0.2% SymVital AR twice daily have shown a significant decrease of the appearance of UV spots compared to a placebo product [1].

We have developed SymVital AR to allow our customers to create products that significantly beautify skin tone and texture and therefore become a real ally for skin of all ages. Additionally, the pure natural ginger root extract underlines our approach of using natural raw materials. We will continue to develop suitable skin care solutions to meet the consumers’ wishes for effective and natural cosmetics,” highliths Dr Marielle Le Maire, Global Product Director Life Essentials at Symrise.
