Frost & Sullivan Lauds RAHN AG for Product Quality Leadership in the Biological Active Ingredients Market for Cosmetics PR Newswire LONDON, Sep. 4, 2012 - The company's revolutionary sun care biological active ingredient, CELLIGENT®, offers an effective completion to UV filter ingredients LONDON, Sep. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent research on biological active ingredients in skin repair, Frost & Sullivan presents RAHN's active ingredients portfolio, RAHN-Cosmetic Actives with the 2012 European Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Quality Leadership for the development of CELLIGENT®, a three active ingredient complex that functions as a biological supplement to ultraviolet (UV) filter ingredients in cosmetics. The sun protection segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the European personal care industry, which is expected to register robust annual growth rates propelled by product innovation and demanding consumers. Notably, consumers are increasingly aware that UV exposure promotes skin aging and cancer. UV filters build the first line of defence and obviously are the most important ingredients in sun protection products as they reduce the penetration of UV-light into the skin. CELLIGENT®, as a biological second line of defence, favourably lends itself to sun care products as it protects the skin's cell and DNA from light-induced damage and activates the cells' repair mechanisms.
