It was great to be able to connect with everyone from the personal care industry finally in-person at this years’ in-cosmetics Global, Paris, after two years of working remotely and dealing with the uncertainties of Covid-19. We decided to dedicate our space to “Brighter expressions beyond Beauty” and used the live event to share our insights about what’s happened on the consumer side the last two years, and how we can support the need for a more inclusive and better future.
If you couldn’t make the show this year or would just like to get more detailed information on our concepts, the featured personal care ingredients, and the ready-to-use formulations, you can find all that information here.
The last two years have seen a radical shift in consumer behaviours and attitudes to personal care. As in many other areas of their lives, people have been reassessing their values and want to do more to create a better world for all.
Today, true personal care isn’t just about looking and feeling good - it’s about doing good too. For some, this might mean choosing ethically sourced personal care products or ones that have a minimal impact on the planet. For others, it could involve beauty care solutions that empower people to be themselves and reflect their diversity, helping to build fairer societies where everyone feels welcome and included. In other words, this renewed wish for improvement takes many and varied forms – all underpinned by a desire for self-expression that goes far beyond beauty.
As a company with a firm commitment to helping you cater to these new and evolving aspirations, we can bring you much more than high-performance personal care ingredients. Our broad product portfolio of personal care ingredients combines biotechnological innovation, smart design, and cleaner, minimalistic formulations. We source locally where possible and prioritize biodegradable, recycled and organically produced personal care ingredients – for every kind of skin! We also work constantly to improve the social and environmental impact of our products, make our processes as transparent as possible, and achieve the best balance between the environmental and societal arguments surrounding UV-filter ingredients – so that you and consumers can make informed, science-based decisions.
By bringing together all these attributes we can support you in meeting the diverse interests of consumers who are motivated by brighter self-expression and a sense of greater good in their choices. Want to help shape a better and more inclusive future for beauty? Then read on here.

A naturally derived biotech, water soluble, Vitamin B12 crystal. Our new studies demonstrate that this vitamin calms irritated skin, helps prevent photo-damaged skin, protects the skin barrier against damage induced by inflammation and helps maintain healthy-looking skin for a vibrant appearance. Vitamin B12 significantly stimulates epigenetic regulation of inflammasome, by an over-expression ex-vivo of the key miRNA-22-3p and reduces the release of the inflammatory cytokines Il1-b.
Our organically grown and ethically sourced alpine plant extract, ALPAFLOR® EDELWEISS CB, has shown very strong antioxidant properties that protect the skin barrier and soothe sensitivity. Our active significantly reduces glycation and glycation-related signs of aging in all facial areas after 4 weeks (glycation plays a key role in skin aging; causing dull skin, inflammation, sagging, fine lines and wrinkles). These changes can be visualized clearly using our famous facial color mapping.
