Post-laser skincare ingredients are advancing as BASF introduces Lincare, a plant-derived active designed to support skin recovery while enhancing visible rejuvenation after aesthetic treatments. Made from flaxseed hull oligosaccharides, the ingredient helps soothe treated skin, strengthen its protective barrier, and support regeneration following laser procedures.
Clinical testing following non-ablative fractional laser treatment found that a formulation containing 1% Lincare accelerated skin barrier recovery by 21%, approximately 1.2 days sooner than placebo. Participants also experienced 1.8 times greater improvement in forehead fine lines and 1.5 times greater improvement in crow's feet. Skin density increased by up to 16% after 56 days.
For cosmetic manufacturers, Lincare creates opportunities to develop specialized post-treatment products combining recovery support with anti-aging benefits. Its naturally derived composition and clinical findings could help beauty brands differentiate their offerings as demand for aesthetic aftercare grows.
