Expanscience Laboratories recently launched GAÏALINE®, which is the company’s first active ingredient derived from soil conservation agriculture and is effective on both hair and skin.
The goal of the active ingredient is to protect, strengthen, and regenerate the barrier function to slow down skin aging.
The ingredient is made from flax and 100% made in France, in partnership with a local farmer in Dourdan. Being sourced from conservation agriculture, Expanscience says, the regenerative method is based on three principals: permanent soil coverage, sowing without soil tillage, and crop diversity and rotation.
GAÏALINE® was developed in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and promotes sustainable agriculture and sustainable use of land ecosystems to halt biodiversity loss.
The development of this ingredient is a major step forward in the cosmetics industry, Expanscience said in a press release.
“GAÏALINE® stands out for its dual beneficial impact on skin and hair, but also for its sourcing and production method. Containing ‘Au Cœur des Sols’ -certified flax, this active ingredient is both effective and environmentally- friendly. Gaia, the Greek goddess of the Earth, inspired us to develop this regenerative active ingredient,” said Armelle Le Péniec, Director of Cosmetic Active Ingredients.
