Sustainable Lignin-Based Ingredients

ECKART presents LignoBase™, the groundbreaking lignin-based ingredient line designed to enhance modern cosmetic formulations. Developed through patented particle technology, LignoBase™ is derived from sustainably sourced plants and preserves lignin's natural polyphenolic structure, unlocking multiple benefits for skincare, sun care, color cosmetics, and hair care products.

Powerful Antioxidant

LignoBase™ effectively neutralizes up to 98% of intracellular free radicals, shielding the skin from oxidative stress and environmental aggressors. At the same time, it significantly enhances the antioxidant activity of oil-in-water (O/W) formulations, boosting their effectiveness by up to 43 times.
