OrniFill
Description
OrniFill - Encapsulated Technology for a Plumped Appearance
OrniFill is a modern biotechnological active ingredient awarded the Gold Award at In-Cosmetics. It is based on the amino acid L-ornithine encapsulated within an innovative delivery system (Ionosome™), designed to contribute to a visibly plumper appearance in areas prone to volume loss as skin ages.
Subcutaneous adipose tissue is naturally responsible for the full appearance of the face. With age, this layer progressively decreases, which contributes to the emergence of more visible nasolabial folds, a sagging look along the lower jawline, and hollows under the eyes. According to studies conducted by the supplier of this active, OrniFill contributes to a visibly improved appearance in these areas through a non-invasive, topically applied method.
Former cosmetic name of this ingredient: Dermo-Filler
Ingredients: Water, Propanediol, Ornithine, Phospholipids, Glycolipids.
Characteristics
- Appearance: Off-white, cloudy liquid with a faint characteristic odor.
- Technology: L-ornithine encapsulated in Ionosome™ for optimal and targeted penetration.
- Mechanism of Action: The active was studied by the manufacturer in relation to natural adipose tissue processes at the cellular level. These mechanisms were documented in in vitro/ex vivo studies conducted by the supplier on the purified active ingredient - they do not represent a direct claim on body functions following application of the finished product.
- Origin: 100% natural origin, sustainable, biotechnological.
Manufacturer's Studies
According to technical documentation provided by the supplier of this active, in vivo tests conducted showed:
- Nasolabial Fold Appearance: The application of 2% active ingredient in a test cream was associated, in the supplier's study, with a reduction in visible wrinkle depth of up to 37% after 30 days.
- Cheekbone Appearance: Volunteers in the supplier's study reported a perception of more visible facial volume and a firmer look after 2 months of use.
- Texture Appearance: The level of perceived skin roughness decreased by 27.5% in the supplier's study, with a smoother and more even look reported by subjects.
- Self-Assessment: Subjects reported, in proportions ranging between 70-90%, an improved perception of smoothness, firmness, rested appearance, and facial contours.
Note: The data above originates from studies conducted by the supplier on this ingredient in its proprietary test formulation at the specified concentration. OrniFill is this ingredient in its pure, unmodified form. Results obtained in a finished cosmetic product will depend on the concentration used and the overall formula into which it is incorporated by the user.
Main Properties
- Plumping Appearance: According to supplier studies, it contributes to a visibly plumper appearance in areas prone to volume loss, particularly in the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and deep dark circles.
- Wrinkle Appearance: Contributes to a visibly smoother appearance of wrinkles, according to data provided by the supplier.
- Visual Anti-Aging: Targets the global appearance of mature skin, not merely surface texture.
- Contour Appearance: Helps provide a more defined appearance to facial contours.
- Hydration and Protection: The matrix of phospholipids and glycolipids contributes to a feeling of skin barrier comfort and hydration maintenance.
Usage Recommendations
General recommended dosage: 0.5% - 2%.
For a more visible effect in intensive care formulations, a 2% concentration is recommended. For daily maintenance products, a dosage of 0.5% - 1% is sufficient.
Applications
- Serums and day/night creams for mature skin (intensive anti-aging care)
- Eye contour serums, creams, and targeted treatments
- Targeted treatments for the nasolabial fold area
- Creams for a plumper appearance of the cheekbones and bust
- Products for a plumping look along lip contours
- Hand creams for a revitalized appearance on the back of the hands
Formulation Guide
- Procedure: Preferably add during the final phase of preparation.
- Temperature: Incorporation at temperatures below 40°C is recommended to preserve the integrity of the Ionosomes.
- pH Range: Optimal within a pH range between 4.5 and 6.0.
- Technical Tip: Avoid prolonged high shear forces after adding the active ingredient to prevent damage to the delivery capsules.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does OrniFill differ from Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid retains water in the dermis, providing temporary hydration and visible plumping. According to supplier studies, OrniFill operates via a different mechanism of action at the purified active level, which was associated in its tests with a more stable plumping appearance over time.
Can it be used on the entire body?
Yes, it is a suitable ingredient for formulations targeting areas where loss of volume appearance is visible, such as the hands, neck, or decolleté.
When do results start to show?
According to supplier studies on the purified active ingredient, the first signs of smoothing appeared after approximately 4 weeks of use, while the maximum plumping appearance was observed after 60 days of daily use in that study.
Usage Safety
Profile: Safe ingredient, well-tolerated by the skin.
Precautions: Intended exclusively for cosmetic use. Do not ingest. Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
Storage: Store in the original packaging in a cool place (preferably 15-25°C), protected from light and moisture.
