Armonita’s innovative ingredient for ready-to-market and private label cosmetics
In the world of modern cosmetics, the demand for effective, natural and safe solutions is constantly growing. And it is against this backdrop that Italine™ , the active ingredient in the Harmony Skincare line, emerges as a valuable ally for all those who desire market-ready anti-fatigue treatments.
Italine™ is an extract from annurca apple, an iconic Mediterranean fruit known for its antioxidant properties. Thanks to traditional processing that increases its polyphenol content, Italine™ has become a powerful active ingredient for face and eye formulas with a glow effect and anti-stress action visible from the very first applications.
Harmony Skincare chooses Italine™ for intense, targeted anti-fatigue action
The Harmony Skincare line, designed for professional home use, harnesses the power of Italine™ to offer an effective, simple and natural beauty routine. Perfect for:
- day and night creams
- anti-dark circles and anti-bag treatments
- products for dull complexion
- pre/post environmental or digital stress skincare
Easy to use (liquid formulation, optimal pH between 4 and 6.5), water soluble, preservative-free, approved for cosmetic use in EU, US, China and Japan.
Clinical study: Italine™ improves puffiness, dark circles and skin radiance
The effectiveness of Italine™ has been validated by a clinical study of 40 volunteers aged 25 to 60 years with tired skin, bags under the eyes, dark circles under the eyes, and dull complexion. Participants applied a cream containing 2% Italine™ daily for 28 days, while a control group used a placebo formula.
The results were surprising:
- 95% of volunteers experienced a visible reduction in puffiness and dark circles under the eyes
- 100% observed improvement in skin hydration and radiance
- No side effects, with high skin tolerability
Clinical results: improvement of tired appearance and increased brightness
As the graphs show, after 28 days we observe:
- A 16% improvement in bag visibility compared with baseline, compared with 12% for placebo(p < 0.05)
- A 19% increase in skin brightness in the treated group, compared with 12% with placebo(p < 0.05)
These data confirm the antioxidant and revitalizing ability of Italine™, which works effectively on fatigued skin, improving overall appearance and reducing signs of daily stress.
The results were also confirmed through clinical photographs (day 0 vs day 28), showing an anti-fatigue “fresh look” effect and an overall improvement in skin texture.
