Product description:
ChinoPhen is a powerful cosmetic active ingredient that embodies the perfect blend of tradition, biotechnology, and clinical efficacy. Derived from the chinotto fruit - a unique, bitter citrus historically grown along the Ligurian Riviera in Italy - ChinoPhendraws on centuries of cultivation tradition and transforms it into a contemporary skincare and haircare solution. The fruit’s vibrant history, from its introduction to Italy by a Savonese sailor five centuries ago to its iconic role in Italian soft drinks, adds cultural richness to its functional appeal in modern beauty formulations.
What sets ChinoPhen apart is its exclusive production process: Phenbiox’s patented hyperfermentation technology. This cutting-edge biotechnological innovation combines enzymatic activity and yeast fermentation to unlock the full phytochemical potential of the chinotto fruit. The process not only increases the bioavailability of the plant’s active compounds but also enhances its cosmetic performance. Compared to the raw extract, the hyperfermented ChinoPhen offers up to 190% more flavonoids, 170% more antioxidant capacity, 160% more phenolics, and a 125% increase in amino acids. This post-biotic enrichment ensures that every drop of ChinoPhen delivers potent, stable, and highly effective skincare and haircare benefits.
On the skin, ChinoPhen offers a gentle yet powerful action, ideal for both oily and acne-prone complexions. Clinical studies have shown that, when used at 3% in a simple gel, ChinoPhen significantly improves hydration - increasing moisture levels by 19% over 28 days. It visibly reduces skin redness and inflammation, with a marked decrease in erythema on papular lesions (up to 19% reduction), and lessens the appearance of acne-related blemishes, including papules and comedones. Volunteers reported a more even complexion, reduced shininess, and a soothing, mattified skin finish, making ChinoPhen a standout active for formulations targeting clarity, comfort, and balance.
In haircare, ChinoPhen continues to impress. Applied at just 1% in a rinse-off shampoo, it demonstrated remarkable efficacy in clinical evaluations. After 28 days, users experienced an 11% reduction in scalp sebum, a 32% decrease in dandruff and a 17% boost in hair shine. These results were supported by volunteer feedback, with participants noting cleaner scalps, softer texture, improved manageability, and overall healthier-looking hair. ChinoPhendelivers visible improvements without disrupting the natural physiological balance of the scalp or skin, making it suitable for sensitive users and daily use.
For brands seeking a unique natural story, high-performance actives, and cutting-edge fermentation technology, ChinoPhenoffers an exceptional opportunity.
Whether you are developing targeted treatments for blemish-prone skin, oil-control solutions, or advanced scalp and hair products, ChinoPhendelivers the clinical results and consumer satisfaction needed to stand out in a competitive market.
