HydrActive™ Almond Oil is a bioactivated almond oil with clinically proven soothing and moisturising properties, developed for sensitive and redness-prone skin formulations and gentle make-up removal.
In clinical testing, HydrActive™ Almond Oil increased skin hydration by 10% after 10 hours, thanks to its bioactivated, highly bioavailable structure.
The same clinical study measured a 9% increase in skin elasticity after 10 hours of application.
In nature, seed oils are activated during germination: enzymes cleave the triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerides, the molecules that living systems can actually use. HydrActive™ Almond Oil reproduces this process in controlled bioreactors with selected lipases, producing a balanced pool of free fatty acids and glycerides that is difficult to obtain by chemical routes.
Because it consists of simpler molecules, the bioactivated oil has greater bioavailability and absorption, a light touch and very low oiliness, together with clinically proven soothing, moisturising and elasticising activity and strong solubilising and co-emulsifying properties.

Sweet almond oil is bioactivated by enzymes, exactly as it would be during germination, in controlled bioreactors. No chemical modification is involved, which gives a natural origin index of 1 under ISO 16128, a vegan and halal suitable profile and biodegradability. Produced by Active Cells Biotechnology, distributed by Azeco.
HydrActive™ Almond Oil replaces three ingredients in many formulas: the emollient, the co-emulsifier and the solubiliser, and it brings clinical soothing data with it.
