HYPOGEN CARE® Research

So what does HYPOGEN CARE® Research so special? The medical cosmetics from HYPOGEN CARE® is currently the only one that counteracts allergies and sensitization on a biomimetic biopolymer complex basis, as well as being extremely simplified and thus allergy-conscious in its structure.

In addition, the range of cosmetic services offered by HYPOGEN CARE also includes® far beyond that of conventional care and cosmetic products: users' expectations in terms of care and appearance are always met, and often exceeded. 

The unique selling points of HYPOGEN CARE® Research

The organ skin is exposed to numerous environmental influences. It protects itself from these with the uppermost skin barrier - a very thin skin layer, also known as the horny layer or stratum corneum. In addition to keratin, a special lipid layer is an essential component of the horny layer, the so-called cell membrane complex. In adult skin, both the keratinization and the density of the lipid layer are such that they basically provide stable environmental protection.

This is also true for the hair. Like the skin, the hair is also constantly exposed to environmental influences. Now, one might think that hair, unlike skin, is not a living organ, which is why it needs no protection. From a certain perspective, however, hair is actually not dead matter: the cell membrane complex of the skin actually feeds the cell membrane complex of the hair. This represents the "putty mass" between the keratin fiber strands of the fiber stem, the scale rings of thecuticle, and the fiber stem and cuticle of the hair. A fully built cell membrane complex keeps the hair healthy and strong, protecting it from damage caused by stresses of various kinds.

Medical care thanks to HYPOGEN CARE research

However, strong environmental influences, skin irritations, sensitizations and allergies change the structure of the cell membrane complex of skin and hair, attack it and thus make this protective layer penetrable for pathogens.

This is exactly where HYPOGEN CARE's medical care comes in...

The LLS system

The LLS system uses biomimetic Lamellar technology to stabilize the derma membrane structure of the skin and the lamellar structure of the cell membrane complex of the hair.

Lamellar technology is the foundation of the patented LLS system from HYPOGEN Research. It also has a biomimetic effect: the cell membrane complex of skin and hair is reproduced in a nature-identical way. In this way, HYPOGEN CARE medical cosmetics build up the natural protective layer of skin and hair and actively regenerate them. As a result, LLS stands for "liquid layer structure", the structure of the moisturizing layer of skin and hair. This corresponds to the cell membrane complex of skin and hair.

The sublevactum formula

 The HYPOGEN CARE sublevactum formula uses biopolymers as protective, restorative and regenerative film formers.

The biopolymer complex of the patented sublevactum formula forms a biomimetic protective film that lasts at least 24 hours. This protects against harmful environmental influences, builds up the skin and hair and, if necessary, stimulates self-healing or self-regeneration processes.

Potentiated effect

With combined use of LLS system and sublevactum formula their individual effects are potentiated.

The combination of protective, restorative and passively and actively regenerating effects of LLS system and sublevactum formula potentiates their individual effects, creates an ideally resistant skin.

Positive long-term effects

All HYPOGEN CARE products are tested for long-term use. In contrast to conventional care and cosmetics, they do not weigh down the skin and hair when used continuously.

In other words, over-care of the skin and hair is impossible even with very frequent use - on the contrary:

Regular use reinforces the positive effects of every HYPOGEN CARE product, brings about positive long-term effects.

Promicrobiome

The skin is the largest organ of the human being. It lives not only as an organ itself. The skin has its own microbial culture, which is very individually characterized in each person. The microbiome controls the pH of the skin, which can be a contributing factor to skin irritations. The microbiome displaces harmful microbes before the body actually comes into contact with them itself.

The stratum corneum as the protective layer of the skin and the microbiome as its protective shell of microbes complement each other optimally in their natural balance, are in balance.

HYPOGEN CARE medical cosmetics have a promicrobialIt promotes and regenerates the microbiome, i.e. the natural microbial balance of the skin and scalp.

Completely non-irritant & hypoallergenic

HYPOGEN CARE products are designed to minimize allergy risks for particularly sensitive skin. That is why the products are characterized by their special skin compatibility. This means that they do not contain anything that is detrimental to the sensitive care of sensitive skin.

Allergy-suspicious and undesirable substances are not used. In particular, HYPOGEN CARE products contain no preservatives, no fragrances, no colorants, no formaldehyde, no EDTA, no essential oils, no repellents, no PEG emulsifiers, no parabens, no kerosenes, no petroleum-based fats and waxes, no petrolatum, no halogenated organic compounds such as propellants, no silicones, no sulphates, no microplastics, no harmful alcohols, no oxidizing agents, no hard quats, no soaps, no aldehydes, no synthetic fats, no substances that are generally hazardous to water and no genetic engineering.

HYPOGEN CARE is free from unnecessary ingredients. In other words: every ingredient is an active ingredient. Our products are 100% organic and biodegradable, food-safe and compatible with mucous membranes.

Highest quality - Made in Germany

HYPOGEN CARE products are innovative German quality products. Development and production take place in Germany.

The claim of manufacturing according to the highest quality standards has many aspects. Among other things, this includes cooperation with reliable partners and the processing of the highest quality raw materials.

Renowned development partners were already involved in the development of HYPOGEN CARE: HYPOGEN CARE was developed in alliance with the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT.

All HYPOGEN CARE products are dermatologically tested - for all skin types, with a focus on skin and sensitive or even allergic skin. Independent private and public institutes have repeatedly dermatologically tested and confirmed the special hypoallergenic properties, special tolerance and effectiveness of HYPOGEN CARE products. This was done in cooperation with the Clinic for Dermatology and Allergology / Dermatology Clinic of the University Hospital of RWTH Aachen.

During production, only raw materials of the highest quality are processed, which are sourced in defined supply chains from reputable manufacturers.

Comprehensive quality controls and tests ensure the high quality of HYPOGEN CARE products and accompany incoming goods (quality, purity and composition of raw materials) and production. This is all subject to high-quality quality management and assurance:
HYPOGEN CARE is manufactured in state-of-the-art production facilities certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, DIN EN ISO 22716:2007 and all CE classes. HYPOGEN CARE products are produced in compliance with the current standards of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP Cosmetics).

All raw materials used are of the highest quality, are supplied by trustworthy partners and come from reliable sources.

Environmental protection & sustainability

Environmental protection and sustainability are key objectives of HYPOGEN CARE production: it aims to provide forward-looking innovative impetus for sustainable and at the same time highly efficient solutions.

HYPOGEN CARE follows this approach right from the product development stage. The selection of ingredients and the creation of formulas, packaging design and production are optimized to meet these high standards without exception. The main objectives are a neutral carbon footprint and a reduction in the water footprint. HYPOGEN CARE achieves these goals, which is internationally recognized. For example, all products carry the "Compact by Design" and "Climate Pledge Friendly" certificates.

Ingredients & Recipes

HYPOGEN CARE products are made entirely without petroleum-based raw materials. This is also an advantage for the environment, as all the ecological problems associated with oil extraction and processing are avoided.

HYPOGEN CARE products are also free from ecologically harmful substances such as parabens, kerosenes, silicones and microplastics. HYPOGEN CARE is 100% organic and biodegradable.

While CO2 neutrality is now a recognized goal of economic activity, the lowest possible water consumption is unfortunately not yet. However, in view of the increasing reduction in drinking water resources in the foreseeable future, it must be. HYPOGEN CARE is ahead of its time here too.
Water ("aqua") is an essential ingredient in almost all body care and cosmetic products. This makes them easier to apply and water-soluble ingredients can be more easily absorbed by the skin. Above all, however, water is a favorable ingredient that often makes up 75 - 80 % of the total content in classic formulations. In most cases, it can be significantly reduced without sacrificing product effect and performance.
HYPOGEN CARE formulations achieve precisely this balance: the water content of HYPOGEN CARE products is only a fraction of the water content of conventional body care or cosmetics. In HYPOGEN CARE Washing Lotion and LLS Care Cream , for example, the water content is around 65% to 75% lower.
HYPOGEN CARE formulations are therefore considerably more concentrated than conventional products. Cosmetic care with HYPOGEN CARE therefore requires comparatively less product. This is easy on the user's wallet. But it also reduces the user's carbon footprint (less transportation, less packaging waste) and water footprint (lowest possible water consumption) - in other words, it protects the environment.

Packing

The use of packaging material is reduced as much as possible - a few examples: The containers are almost completely filled so that as little empty space as possible reduces transport efficiency. HYPOGEN CARE packaging is optimally designed in terms of material thickness.

HYPOGEN CARE packaging is made from 100% recyclate, i.e. recycled used plastic, in the interests of a sustainable, closed-loop economy. Modern sorting technology guarantees very pure recyclates, delivering the highest quality packaging in a way that conserves resources and protects the environment. The packaging itself is 100% recyclable. There is currently no sustainable alternative to the use of plastic packaging. Bioplastics - whether biobased (organically grown) or biodegradable - do not yet provide sufficient packaging quality while at the same time there are still unresolved sustainability problems such as monocultures in the cultivation of the source plants or microplastic residues.
To ensure that HYPOGEN CARE packaging is disposed of according to type so that it can be recycled in a way that conserves resources as much as possible, the containers and closures are made of the same material wherever possible. The packaging also has easily removable labels and sustainable printing inks.

The containers and caps of HYPOGEN CARE products are also designed so that the contents can be used up as fully as possible. Bottles that are almost empty can be turned upside down so that the last contents can be collected directly at the cap for convenient use and can be easily removed.

Production

HYPOGEN CARE products are ecologically compatible and produced in a way that conserves resources. In particular, care is taken in the extraction of MCT oil to use natural resources in a controlled manner and not to damage ecosystems. In this respect, HYPOGEN CARE uses organic MCT oil, which is obtained from palm and coconut oil in an ecologically sustainable manner.

HYPOGEN CARE production works in a resource-saving manner and covers its electricity requirements with 100% green electricity. HYPOGEN CARE ensures the lowest possible electricity consumption throughout. For example, special continuous production processes allow energy savings of up to 80 % compared to conventional production processes.

Free from animal testing

HYPOGEN CARE meets the strict PETA requirements, is free from animal testing and is listed accordingly by PETA. This certified freedom from animal testing means:

HYPOGEN CARE is completely cruelty-free:

HYPOGEN CARE does not carry out any animal testing in research and development, production or performance testing.

The products do not contain any ingredients that are subject to animal testing under the REACH chemicals regulation.
