In a world where skincare is increasingly focused on respecting the skin and its natural balance, Hydromanil™ stands out as an innovative active ingredient capable of delivering immediate and long-lasting hydration, while also protecting the skin microbiota.

Extracted from the seeds of Caesalpinia spinosa, a plant native to the Peruvian Andes, Hydromanil™ combines nature and technology in a high-performance functional ingredient.

Exclusively distributed in Italy by Faravelli Cosmetic Division, Hydromanil™ is the result of Provital’s research, a company that has always united science and sustainability. Thanks to its 3D matrix structure of galacto-manno-oligosaccharides, it provides a sequential release of actives, ensuring continuous and measurable moisturizing efficacy.

Mechanism of Action

Hydromanil™ helps inhibit the formation of pathogenic biofilms without interfering with the beneficial skin microbiota, contributing to maintaining skin balance and preventing irritation.

• Gradual moisturizing action: Hydromanil™ gradually releases its actives through the cross-linked structure of its 3D polysaccharide matrix. This ensures a dual effect:

• Immediate hydration in the upper layers of the epidermis
• Cumulative hydration in the deeper layers, with regulation of cell turnover and reduction of desquamation

• Anti-biofilm and microbiome-protective action: the polysaccharides in Hydromanil™ compete with bacterial receptors (lectins), preventing them from binding to cutaneous glycoproteins. This mechanism:

• Inhibits the formation of pathogenic biofilms (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus)
• Protects the skin’s commensal bacteria, maintaining a healthy and stable microbiota

Versatile applications for conscious beauty

Thanks to its functional and skin-compatible profile, Hydromanil™ is suitable for a wide range of cosmetic formulations:
• Moisturizing face and body creams and serums
• After-sun and soothing treatments
• Leave-on and rinse-off products for hands and body
• Lines dedicated to sensitive or atopic-prone skin
• Microbiome-friendly and skin-protective formulations
• Daily hygiene products with anti-dryness action
