MacaComplex™ - Longevity Booster for skin & hair
Maca, also known as the "root of energy", has been prized for centuries in the high altitudes of the Andes. Rich in phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals, maca combines natural vitality with antioxidant protection. As a versatile raw material, it brings radiance and strength to modern cosmetic concepts that focus on nature and innovation.
With our unique, ecosystemic fermentation process, we refine maca into a bioavailable, multifunctional active ingredient for cosmetics. Our ferments open up new possibilities for innovative formulations.
We would be happy to work with you to develop a customized maca ferment solution that makes your brand unique.
Stimulates hair growth
Maca is rich in bioactive plant substances that promote blood circulation to the scalp, stimulate the hair root and extend the natural growth phase - for stronger, thicker-looking hair.
Promotes skin elasticity
The valuable antioxidants and nutrients from maca support the collagen structure, improve the skin's elasticity and help to visibly counteract loss of elasticity - for a smoother, firmer complexion.
Supports cell regeneration
Maca provides essential amino acids, minerals and secondary plant substances that stimulate cell activity, promote regeneration and help the skin to renew itself more quickly and look more vital.
Maca - The adaptogenic root for modern skin longevity.
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) grows in the high altitudes of the Peruvian Andes and has been known for centuries for its exceptional resilience. Valued as the "root of energy", maca traditionally stands for vitality, adaptability and balance.
In cosmetics, maca impresses with its broad spectrum of secondary plant substances, antioxidants, minerals and amino acids. These help the skin to adapt to oxidative and environmental stress, strengthen its resistance and promote a vital, balanced complexion.
However, our patented Ecosystemic Fermentation makes Maca more than just a plant extract: fermentation transforms the plant matrix systemically, activates bound compounds and creates new bioactive molecular structures. The result is a biotechnological complex of active ingredients with a coordinated, multifunctional effect.
The result is not a single "hero molecule", but a fermented active ingredient system - developed for holistic skin health and long-term longevity concepts.
Maca is characterized by its complex natural composition, which is further enhanced by fermentation.
- Phenolic compounds
Polyphenols and phenolic derivatives have an antioxidant effect, protect against free radicals and support the stabilization of cellular processes.
- Amino acids & peptides
Support the skin structure, promote elasticity and help to maintain dermal integrity.
- Minerals & trace elements
Contribute to the metabolic activity of the skin and support its natural resistance.
- Organic acids & fermentation-related metabolites
Promote a balanced skin environment and support the natural regulatory capacity.
- Postbiotic structural signals
Inactivated microorganisms and cell fragments act as biological communication impulses and support the skin in its ability to adapt.
Fermentation produces a diversified, rebalanced metabolite spectrum - the basis for a modern biotechnological longevity active ingredient.
Thanks to its adaptogenic properties and biotechnological fermentation, maca can be used in a variety of ways:
- Clean Beauty & Longevity concepts
- Regenerating care
- Strengthening the skin barrier
- Care for tired and stressed skin
- Adaptogenic care concepts for urban skin
- Hair care to support the balance of the scalp
Maca ferment is ideal for modern formulations that not only address symptoms but also support the skin's ability to regulate itself in the long term.
MacaComplex™ is available as a fermented active ingredient fluid.
The fluid is an optimally balanced form of our biotechnologically transformed Maca ferment. It combines a defined concentration of active ingredients with high formulation flexibility and easy integration into modern cosmetic formulations.
In contrast to highly concentrated raw materials, the fluid offers a ready-to-use, stable and process-safe solution. The fermentatively reorganized plant matrix remains completely intact and enables a systemic, multifunctional effect within the formulation.
* Also available as a serum on request
Properties of the MacaComplex™ fluid:
- Standardized, reproducible active ingredient quality
- High biological activity through ecosystemic fermentation
- Very good water solubility
- Easy integration into emulsions, serums, toners and essences
- Suitable for clean beauty and green beauty concepts
- Process-stable and scalable for industrial applications
The MacaComplex™ fluid stands for biotechnological active ingredient systems with high formulation intelligence - developed for skin care concepts that focus on long-term regulation and stabilization instead of short-term effect peaks.
