LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., April 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products (NYSE: APD) today introduced its new OxyForce™ cellular active at In-Cosmetics in Hamburg, Germany. OxyForce cellular active is a high performance energizing solution formulated to enhance the supply of molecular oxygen to skin cells.

The upper skin layers rely on, and are almost exclusively supplied by, atmospheric molecular oxygen. OxyForce cellular active can promote the supply of oxygen to those skin cells to reduce wrinkle depth while enhancing skin smoothness and supporting natural collagen production.

"OxyForce cellular active demonstrates how Air Products can leverage its unique portfolio of delivery technologies to achieve meaningful skin care benefits – in this case to enable measurable results by nourishing the skin with something as basic but key-to-life as oxygen," said Solomon Lemma, Global Business Manager for Personal Care at Air Products.

OxyForce cellular active is part of Air Products' personal care platform that was launched in 2006. Since that time, the business has grown to be acknowledged as a specialist in delivery systems technology for cosmetic applications. Its proprietary technology platforms are able to target skin sites that range from the skin surface to within skin cells. Leveraging these technologies, the business offers over 80 active and functional commercial ingredients to the personal care industry, including those under the ROVISOME^®, Cellular Actives™, Intelimer^®, and Deposilk^®brands. These technologies are also employed in customer-specific solutions.
