In each dimension, we support our customers with our profound expertise in developing winning products that answer consumers’ innermost wishes”, said Dirk Mampe, vice president business management personal care specialities Europe.
Collalift 18: natural skin-sheathing solution
BASF’s new active ingredient Collalift 18, an extract of African mahogany bark, improves the skin’s elasticity recovery and visibly reduces pores, lines, and wrinkles. It stimulates the synthesis of collagen XVIII, a key element of the skin’s basement membranes and the only collagenous proteoglycan with biological activity present in all skin layers – from a surface to deeper layers.
Oligolin: multi-functional rejuvenating cure
The hydrolyzed linseed extract Oligolin is BASF’s new anti-aging active for skincare products. The new patented solution has been proven to have an exceptional rejuvenating effect on the skin.

By redefining body curves, Sveltine ST empowers women’s self-confidence. Clinical evaluation showed a significant decrease in thigh circumference and a visible thigh shaping effect within two weeks of treatment.
