BiovaDerm®
Read Time: 5 minutes
Hi everyone
Imagine a skincare ingredient so natural it comes from an eggshell, yet so effective it visibly reduces wrinkles in just weeks. It sounds surprising – even disruptive – but that’s exactly what BiovaDerm® offers.
WSEM is a water-soluble egg membrane extract that’s delivering real, clinically backed results for smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin. At a time when consumers admire authenticity and regulators insist on evidence, BiovaDerm® might just be the ingredient to give your brand a competitive edge.
“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”
– Albert Einstein
What is BiovaDerm®?
BiovaDerm® is a proprietary water-soluble eggshell membrane (WSEM) extract – a gentle powder derived from the thin membrane inside eggshells. This might be an unlikely source of innovation, but it’s packed with the very building blocks our skin craves. BiovaDerm provides natural proteins and nutrients that support skin structure and health. Thanks to a patented manufacturing process, the extract retains the natural ratio of skin-friendly components found in egg membrane. The result is a formulation-ready ingredient that dissolves easily in water and has minimal colour or odour. In other words, BiovaDerm delivers the goodness of nature without typical formulation hassles.
What’s inside this unique extract? Collagen and elastin proteins (the same ones that keep skin firm and elastic) make up over 40% of it, alongside glycosaminoglycans like hyaluronic acid. It’s essentially a cocktail of peptides, amino acids, and nutrients the skin uses for repair and maintenance. This built-in synergy sets BiovaDerm apart – instead of adding separate collagen, elastin, or hyaluronic acid ingredients, a formulator can get all of these from one naturally balanced source. BiovaDerm helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, boost skin hydration, and even protect against oxidative stress (the damage caused by free radicals). Few natural actives can boast such a broad spectrum of benefits in one ingredient, giving formulators plenty of reasons to feel confident and intrigued.
Clinically Proven Results in Just 8 Weeks
Numbers speak louder than words, especially to sceptical consumers. BiovaDerm® has been put to the test – and the results are outstanding.
In a clinical trial, a simple cream with BiovaDerm delivered significant visible improvements in skin appearance. Here are some highlights after 8 weeks of daily use:
Up to 60% reduction in wrinkle appearance.
100% of users noticed tighter-feeling skin – every single participant felt a firmer, more lifted sensation.
95% saw better overall skin appearance, reporting smoother, healthier looking complexions.
91% said their skin quality improved, with a more even tone and texture.
86% noticed fewer fine lines around the eyes and face, giving a more youthful look.
These are remarkable statistics – especially for a natural ingredient. Importantly, these changes didn’t take forever to show up. Just two months was enough to transform how these women saw and felt their skin. Testers even reported an instant tightening and firming effect upon application, offering that gratifying immediate boost while the deeper improvements develop over time.
BiovaDerm’s data offers real, evidence-backed hope that consumers can see and feel. As a brand, you can recommend BiovaDerm with confidence, knowing its benefits are measurable and documented.
Addressing Common Concerns
When introducing an innovative ingredient like BiovaDerm, it’s natural to have questions or hesitations. Let’s tackle the big ones head-on:
Animal Origin (Egg-Derived, but Sustainable): Yes, BiovaDerm comes from eggs – specifically the membrane lining eggshells. While that means it’s not vegan, it does not involve any animal harm. In fact, this membrane is usually a waste byproduct of the egg industry. Biova upcycles it from the food waste stream, keeping billions of eggshells out of landfills each year. That makes BiovaDerm a sustainability win – an ingredient that gives new life to waste material. Brands can feel proud and virtuous using it, though of course you’ll want to be transparent for consumers who avoid animal-derived ingredients. The bottom line is BiovaDerm aligns with ethical sourcing trends (responsible, regenerative) while delivering an origin story of nature’s ingenuity.
Formulation Compatibility: Worried about adding a “biologically derived” ingredient to your formula? BiovaDerm was designed with formulators in mind. It’s a water-soluble powder that integrates smoothly into emulsions, serums, and more. No grinding or special solvents needed – just mix it in. BiovaDerm has an off-white colour and very mild scent, so it won’t overpower your product or require heavy fragrances to mask. Its proteins are processed gently to ensure low ash content and stability, meaning it doesn’t destabilise formulas or shorten shelf life. It also works across a broad pH range and can be added at typical cool-down cosmetic processing temperatures (no complex steps required). In short, you get a potent active that behaves just like any other high-quality cosmetic ingredient – no fuss, no surprises. This frees you to innovate without needing to reformulate your whole product around it.
Regulatory Status & Safety: BiovaDerm’s identity is straightforward – its INCI name is Hydrolysed Egg Membrane, an established cosmetic ingredient. There are no novel chemical surprises; it’s simply a naturally derived protein mixture. In the EU, where compliance is key, you can register it in formulations as you would any other known ingredient. All of Biova’s ingredients, including BiovaDerm, are produced under cGMP quality standards, ensuring consistency and safety. Safety testing has shown BiovaDerm to be non-irritating and skin friendly. Of course, those with severe egg allergies should patch-test or avoid, but generally topical egg membrane has an excellent safety profile. Using BiovaDerm in your products should pose no regulatory headaches – only the opportunity to make robust anti-aging claims backed by data (which is exactly what EU regulators and consumers like to see).
Versatile Across Products
One of the most exciting aspects of BiovaDerm® is how versatile it is. This single ingredient can enhance a wide range of personal care products – giving you creative freedom to apply it across your line. Whether you’re formulating a high-end facial serum or a daily moisturiser, BiovaDerm fits right in. It dissolves readily in water-based systems, making it ideal for clear serums and essences, creams and lotions, or even hydrating sheet masks. Because it’s a stable powder, you can also blend it into powder formulations (think dry face masks or mineral makeup boosters) without clumping. Brands have successfully used BiovaDerm in everything from rich night creams to light gel lotions and even cleansing products like foams and soaps. This flexibility means you can maintain a consistent anti-aging story across multiple SKUs – a serum, a cream, a mask – all leveraging the same trusted active. No need to source different actives for different product types when BiovaDerm can be your go-to multitasker.
Being truly formulation-ready also hopefully implies convenience and reliability. BiovaDerm has been optimised to have low odour and minimal colour impact, so it won’t alter the sensorial profile of your creation. Want to craft a silky anti-wrinkle serum? BiovaDerm will vanish into the formula without a trace – except for its benefits. Developing a luxurious cream? You’ll find it integrates smoothly in the water phase, leaving no grit (thanks to fine particle sizing). Because it’s effective even at low inclusion rates (the clinical trial worked at just 1% in a cream), you don’t need a high load to see benefits. This is great news for cost management and formulation stability. In essence, BiovaDerm lets you enrich products with a powerful active without complicating your development process. It’s a plug-and-play solution for innovators who value both efficacy and elegance in formulation.
Natural Efficacy
Consumers are increasingly seeking skincare that truly works but also aligns with their values. BiovaDerm hits that sweet spot, giving your brand several advantages that can be directly reinforced in your messaging and product development:
Evidence-Backed Claims: Incorporating BiovaDerm means you can confidently claim benefits like “reduces the appearance of wrinkles in 8 weeks” – and have solid data to back it up. This scientific credibility builds trust with discerning customers.
Natural & Inspiring Story: BiovaDerm’s origin as an upcycled eggshell membrane is a story worth telling. You tap into a narrative of sustainability and innovation: transforming waste into a beauty solution. Consumers feel admiration for brands that care about the planet, and they’ll remember your product for its unique “egg membrane” twist. It differentiates you from the sea of generic botanical extracts with a truly novel talking point.
Formulation Ease & Consistency: Using BiovaDerm won’t require special handling or cause batch-to-batch headaches. It’s manufactured to high quality standards for consistent protein levels and purity, so you know each lot will perform the same. Fewer formulation challenges mean faster development and more reliable scale-up, which in turn gives you confidence to roll out new products on schedule. You’re investing in an ingredient that is as practical as it is potent.
Versatility = Portfolio Cohesion: Because BiovaDerm works in many formats, you can build an entire product range around this hero active – for example, a BiovaDerm serum, cream, and eye gel combo, all delivering the same core benefits. This creates a cohesive brand story and encourages multi-product sales (customers who love the active may buy the whole line). Your brand gains a signature ingredient that can become a hallmark of your identity, much like big brands have their trademark actives. It’s a chance to position your line as the one with the proven technology.
Emotional Connect with Consumers: Ultimately, skincare is about how people feel. An ingredient like BiovaDerm allows you to promise results that give users hope (for younger-looking skin), confidence (as they see real improvements), and admiration (from others who notice their glowing skin!) When customers feel a product is both natural and effective, their loyalty soars. By delivering visible results in a gentle, nature-derived way, you build an emotional bond of trust and satisfaction. Happy customers translate to positive reviews, word-of-mouth referrals, and a stronger brand reputation in the long run.
