DSM in Personal care / cosmetics: Looking good
We create an unrivalled range of vitamins and special ingredients for use on human skin & hair - in everything from sun protection cream to anti-ageing skincare peptides to hair styling products. To develop the highest-performing ingredients we’ve turned for inspiration to everything from rare Swiss alpine plants to snake venom enzymes.
From cell revitalizing, skin lightening, moisturizing or sunless tanning, to better knowledge about harmful UV rays, to the growing demand for ‘back to nature’ products, the personal care retail market is booming like never before with a conservative global value of 250bn Euros.
It’s a mind-boggling number and one that we know well as one of the world’s largest supplier of vitamins, UV-filters and active ingredients to this market. Apart from improving safety, quality and reliability DSM is also about creating totally innovative high-performing ingredients - with substantiated efficacy - that maximize our customers’ competitive advantage.
In skin care
We’ve developed a peerless range of bioactive skin care ingredients and vitamins for face and body.
Our PENTAPHARM brand is helping not just reverse the visual signs of ageing but also to improve skin moisturization and to revitalize the energy level of tired cells. Our SYN®-peptides portfolio of leading anti-wrinkle and anti-ageing ingredients is maximizing performance with clearly visible results.
In sun care
Our PARSOL® range of UV protective products includes the leading organic UV filter in the marketplace. In fact, we’re developing a whole new generation of UV filters by re-engineering the chemical building blocks. So, for example, sun cream stays on the skin absorbing UV radiation without that ‘heavy skin’ feel.
In hair care
TILAMAR® is our new brand for hair care, based on more than 50 years’ experience and success in polymer technologies at DSM. Launched in 2010, TILAMAR® is strengthening the conditioning performance of hair as well as setting new standards in styling and shine.
