Description
Infinity ingredients is the UK distributor of Aqualicia® Bio from Laboratoires Expanscience.
Acacia macrostachya, a shrub native to Western Africa, grows in hot, dry environments. This species has adapted to these extreme climatic conditions and developed a natural strategy for capturing the water it needs to grow. Aqualicia Bio is a concentrate of peptides obtained from Acacia macrostachya seeds by a bio-enzymatic process that protects both people and the environment, patented by Laboratoires Expanscience.
This biomimetic active ingredient is sustainably sourced from Burkina Faso and helps trap and distribute water within the epidermis, controlling water loss and improving cohesion or the corneum and granulosum layers.
