BEL-EVEN®
The innovative cosmetic ingredient BEL-EVEN® locally rebalances the negative, long-term effects of stress on skin and fights against stress-induced collagen loss and skin thinning.
Trying to keep up with the ever-increasing pace and pressures of modern life can be physically, mentally and emotionally draining. In urban areas, the tempo can be particularly relentless and with 55% of the world’s population now living in cities1 it’s no surprise that many consumers are looking for ways to take a step back and to pay attention to their holistic well-being. The concept and practice of mindfulness has moved from alternative to mainstream, so how can beauty and personal care ingredients help consumers live in the moment?
There is evidence that the very act of doing something to nurture the skin can be beneficial, because it involves taking a little bit of time for ourselves. When people are busy though they also want to feel confident that every moment they take to unwind and relax is time well spent.

DSM’s latest research has found that the Mindful Beauty trend can be articulated in two types of trend expressions:
Emotional resilience doesn’t just happen overnight. From mental strength-building tools to ‘emotional workouts’ that put consumers through their paces, tomorrow, people will expect brands to help them develop the emotional resilience they need to thrive in an uncertain and troubled world.
Maintaining beauty in times of stress
In our busy, ‘hyperconnected’ world, stress has become a continual problem for most people, regardless of age, location or background. Chronic stress leads to unhealthy behaviors, with 38% of adults saying they overeat, and 44% of the American workforce losing sleep every night because they are worrying about work. Often the solutions suggested for stress-relief seem unattainable. Of course, we should take time out to relax – but how, when? What we really want is supported to streamline daily routines and reassurance that we can entrust some tasks to the experts. All about DSM’s NO-STRESS ingredients & concepts

From this challenging experience, the concept toward Resilient Beauty takes shape. For so many, the COVID-19 pandemic was a recipe for stress, anxiety and uncertainty. Its implications were acute, driving the need and desire for essential self-care. Turning to trusted rituals and routines brought comfort and stability.

The quest for inner balance in beauty and personal care
Modern lifestyles, especially in hectic urban areas can feel like nothing but pressure. Conflicting demands on our time, constant distraction from digital devices, and concerns about global issues such as pollution can all create a feeling of being out of control. In a quest to reconnect with themselves and restore their inner balance, many consumers are looking for beauty products that give them a sense of ‘time out’. Consumers looking for inner balance are likely to appreciate relaxing scents and ingredients, and products that help soothe or re-energize. Taking inspiration from the practice of Yoga and its impact on beauty and wellbeing, DSM has developed a complete line-up of ready-to-use skin care formulations to help re-establish inner balance.
