  • FortiCulture CoconutAs consumers continue to seek sustainability and safety in their products, multifunctional antimicrobials are a clear choice. Inspired by our commitment to sustainable solutions, Active Micro Technologies has adopted a Cradle to Cradle approach, using the coconuts we source to their fullest to minimize our footprint and maximize skin care benefits. Coconut oil, when fractionated into smaller molecules called medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), provides ideal fermentation conditions for yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to unlock the water-soluble lipopeptides standardized in FortiCulture Coconut. More than just sustainably sourced, the lipopeptides in FortiCulture Coconut perform two key functions: 1) When topically applied, lipopeptides signal keratinocytes to release antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which regulate the skin barrier and increase collagen production. 2) Lipopeptides are naturally antimicrobial and provide a broad-spectrum fortress for a wide range of formulation applications. Fortify the skin barrier and final formulations with FortiCulture Coconut, a formulation-friendly natural antimicrobial with cellular anti-aging benefits.Read More

THE MODERN PRESERVATION MARKET

The personal care market has opened its eyes to the growing demand for proactive, innovative and alternative solutions to synthetic preservatives. Manufacturers add preservatives to formulations in order to control bacterial and fungal growth, extending the shelf-life of these products. However, many synthetic preservatives are falling from favor with regulators and consumers alike due to issues like sensitization and other health related concerns. By developing materials exhibiting cosmetic benefits, Active Micro Technologies has, in turn, created effective and natural antimicrobials. Now our customers can continue leading the market with their impressive formulations and innovative applications!

ACTIVE MICRO TECHNOLOGIES COMPANY OVERVIEW

In recent years the Personal Care Industry has seen an increased demand for environmentally conscious and ethically sound products. Consumers’ desire for naturally derived and inspired products has only grown more pronounced as public awareness of traditional preservation increases.

With a noticeable shift in both formulator preference and consumer attitude, traditional preservatives (parabens, formaldehyde-donors, thiazolinones, etc.) have found themselves under scrutiny. Continued market-focus on “carry over” ingredients effecting health and sustainability, coupled with the booming naturals trend, have slowly ousted conventional preservatives from product ingredient decks. Active Micro Technologies predicted this trend and is the market leader in preservation alternatives.
