56 COMPANY PERSPECTIVE
An opportunity was identified to offer benefits inspired by face sculpting that can work independently or in synergy with surgical treatments. Scientifically, this is made possible through a combination of three active ingredients from Lubrizol (Argireline Amplified peptide, Telophi™ biotech ingredient and Uplevity™ peptide) that restore facial proportions, smooth wrinkles, and relax expression lines. Leveraging the information from Foresee Lab,
a leading derma-brand translated this insight into innovation with the development of the formulation internally called Facial Proportions Restorer Serum—an advanced formula blending biotechnology and a peptide complex to deliver a more harmonious and youthful appearance. With initiatives like Foresee Lab and
collaboration from teams around the world.
Lubrizol is poised to shape the future of beauty for many years to come.
Lubrizol’s new brand expression reflects optimism for the next 100 years Lubrizol began in 1928 and recently launched a new brand expression to reflect the company’s evolution from a pioneer in transportation to a pioneer in transformation across a variety of industries. Lubrizol is committed to constantly and consistently innovating, keeping the Lubrizol name synonymous with quality and technical leadership. As the company approaches its 100th year in business, a new tagline, Imagined for Life, Created by Science’, represents Lubrizol today and the organization’s optimism for its next 100 years.
