Akott launches the Glowfood Line, whole food sources for glowing skin. This is an eco-sustainable line of agricultural organic ingredients from whole fruits, herbs and vegetables, produced by a new farming technology using every single part of the food that preserves the natural content of antioxidants, vitamins and phytonutrients. 


The Wholefruit Line consists of three lines of fruit products:


Fruitskin: infusions of fruit peel, seeds and stalks rich in antioxidants. This product range is available either in a filtered clear liquid version or in a creamy version with solid particles. 


Fruitcream: the inner part of the fruit, the pulp, is rich in sugars forming the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) that hydrates and nourishes the skin maintaining its elasticity, tone and bright look. 


Fruitaqua: the constitutive waters of the fruits, that ensure perfect affinity with the skin, rich in mineral salts and hydro-dispersed components that protect, sooth and nourish the skin. 


Alban Mullerhas created Glucohyami, a unique botanical active with the power to boost hyaluronic acid synthesis. It is a dry extract of chicory root highly concentrated in glucosamine, the essential substrate which enables the hyaluronic acid synthesis in the skin. 


A unique and smart self-enrichment in glucosamine has been developed to naturally increase  the content of glucosamine in the chicory root by 100. This high-quality chicory root is then used to manufacture Glucohyami thanks to Alban Muller’s specific extraction process which gets the highest concentration of active molecule. Indeed, this process includes an exclusive energy-saving drying technique, zeodration, using moderate temperatures and therefore preserving the actives. 


The ingredient has been clinically tested for one month on 20 women aged 45-65 treated twice a day with a cream containing Glucohyami at 0.2%. The evaluation emphasised an improvement of the skin relief, tone and hydration. Indeed, accurate instrumental measurements highlight an increase of skin firmness and a reduction of wrinkles. These results were confirmed by a dermatologist and a visual evaluation.

Individuality can manifest in many ways. From the things you do not necessarily see, such as values or character, to physical expressions like body art or a hair style. Azelis(Booth L30) formulates personal care products which allow us to celebrate our differences and allow us to break the proverbial mould. Tailored from concept to creation to meet emerging trends and niche markets, Azelis’ products encourage individuality and enable consumers to celebrate what makes them truly unique.


Six formulations, from six different personal care labs, will be on display on the Azelis stand at in-cosmetics Global 2019. All these formulations are dedicated to creating cosmetic products which are personalised and fit unique needs. They have for example created a body lotion for those who love spending time outdoors, giving a powerful shield against extreme weather conditions. More of the indoor type? They will also be showing a hand cream which protects you from blue light when using today’s technology. 


Glabridin is a powerful lightening agent, but its extreme price, instability, and poor water/oil solubility are giving formulators a hard time. To unlock glabridin’s whitening properties, BergaBright SmartLipids delivery system from Berg + Schmidt (Booth R30) is an ideal innovation.


Physically protected from light and oxygen against degradation within the lipid matrix, the full efficacy spectrum of this powerful active is ensured. This patented technology takes advantage of increased bioavailability and selective occlusion, and allows a higher penetration and prolonged release of glabridin in its most effective form. 


It is a natual licorice extract with boosted penetration & bioavailability offering prolonged release for amazing performance. It is easy to incorporate into formulations.


Indoors, outside, our skin is exposed to pollution all day long. Pollution is present everywhere in urban areas and is composed of pesticides, heavy metals, particles and other harmful chemicals that will disrupt skin barrier function and microbiota. Extracted from lime fruit with a patented process, rich in citroflavonoïds and saccharides, Urbalime will work in and out of skin to fight against pollution and reduce cell damage.


Bioliehas chosen to work with Urban Dust, a standard approved by FDA, which is representative of urban pollution, including all type of molecules, not only heavy metals or particles.


Under normal conditions, skin cells like epidermal keratinocytes produce energy via mitochondria. This ATP is used to equilibrate electrolytes into the cells, allows exchanges in and out of the cell, as a building block for nucleotides or as direct energy for chemical transformations.


Tested on normal human epidermal keratinocytes with and without Urban Dust, Urbalime at 1% fights against pollution by increasing ATP production and decreasing DNA damage. 


Chemipollaunches Sensicare NAT additive based on natural ingredients for controlling microbial growth in personal care products. The typical dosage of Sensicare NAT is below 2% on total formulation weight and can be used as a single antimicrobial additive without the need for adding adjuvants that complements its properties. It is pH independent. 


Also the company is introducing new antimicrobials in their Sensicare FP series for protecting cosmetics from microbial spoilage, based on synthetic ingredients not listed in Annex VI. 


Citroleoare launching two new products from the CitroTech line. Both are green surfactants free from palm oil.


The CitroTech line was developed for very special niche: companies that want to make cosmetics free from palm oil. Green CAPB-B, a green betaine is made from crude Babassu oil which retains the original properties of Babassu oils, different from ordinary betaines on the market which use refined oils (coco/palm). 


Green Behenic is made with crude Pracaxi oil, rich in C22 chain and C24 chain, which gives the hair strands the most complete softness during cold detangling, and the hair’s dryness when dry. 


Clariant (Booth E70) is paving the way for a new strategy for its Personal Care segment by not only giving it a new look and feel but also repositioning its portfolio where sustainability and innovation are prerequisites to address its global customer needs more efficiently.


Clariant Active Ingredients will launch a new active that is opening a new era in the anti-ageing segment by targeting the long non-coding RNA 886 for a healthier ageing. 


Additionally, Clariant will hold two lectures during the show:


‘Targeting long non-coding RNA 886, an avant-gard active ingredient key to unlocking the secrets of healthy aging’ (3 April 2019, Theatre 1, 9.20 – 9.50: Alexandre Lapeyre, global technical marketing manager)
The sustainable & safe neutralizer’ (4 April 2019, Theatre 2, 11.20 – 11.50: Aleksandra Zmiric, marketing development Personal Care)
