Hands & nails range


Hands & nails

Our hands are constantly active: holding and moving objects, typing or writing, shaking people hands, washing and dressing ourselves, cleaning, DIY etc. That’s why it is important that they get a bit of TLC. After all, happy hands are moisturised hands and they always say, you can tell someone’s age by looking at their hands. So, don’t let your hands give your age away!

Products that help ease the discomfort of rheumatism (pain, swelling and inflammation) also have their place within this category.

For inspiration, we at Infinity Ingredients are pleased to summarise the ingredients we offer for this category….


Adipofill’In™ INCI: Water (and) Propanediol (and) Ornithine (and) Phospholipids (and) Glycolipids). Subcutaneous adipose tissue is responsible for the plump aspect of the skin. With age, this fat pad progressively melts due to a disturbance of Adipocyte metabolism, resulting in the appearance of thin, wrinkled skin and more visible wrinkles and veins on the back of the hands. Adipofill’in™ is an L-Ornithine Amino Acid encapsulated in an Ionosome™ for specific and local action on Adipocytes. It is a remarkable delivery system, designed to mimic lipo filling results for maximum and fast results. Adipofill’in™ is able to increase fatty tissue volume for a lipo filling-like effect through a non-invasive method to plump the back of the hand and help restore youthfulness. Best Innovation Gold winner, 2012 in-cosmetics.Recommended use level: 0.5 - 2%

Melanostatine®5 is a Biomimetic Peptide antagonist specific to α-MSH (Alpha Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone). As an antagonist, Melanostatine®5 competes against the natural ligand (α-MSH) for binding onto its specific receptor (MC1-R) thus preventing any further activation of Tyrosinase, resulting in the blocking of Melanin synthesis. Tyrosinase inhibition reduces the formation of unwanted pigmentation allowing for the control over skin tone and brown spots. China compliant. Recommended use level: 4 - 8%

VITENNA L (INCI: Tocopheryl Linoleate) is high purity Vitamin E Linoleate, a derivative of Vitamin E and Linoleic Acid, an essential fatty acid of vegetal origin (extracted from Grape seeds), which synergises the effects of both compounds to provide superior moisturising benefits to the skin, hair, and nails. It has been shown by scientific studies that Vitamin E Linoleate, as the association of Vitamin E and Linoleic acid (also called Vitamin F), has proven effects on the skin. It penetrates with high levels accumulating in the Stratum corneum and is metabolised and incorporated into the epidermis lipid components. Vitamin E Linoleate protects the skin against premature ageing and acts against the symptoms of the ageing process such as dryness and the lack of elasticity. In addition, Vitamin E by itself is a powerful free radical scavenger and may therefore limit the acceleration of the ageing process that free radicals cause. It also enhances the flexibility of cell walls to minimise wrinkles and blemishes.Recommended use level: 0.2 - 2%
