Azelis, Croda win formulation awards at SCS Formulate
Azelis and Croda Beauty won the coveted SCS Formulate Laura Marshall awards that recognise cutting-edge personal care formulations. In the Sustainability and Ethics
category, Azelis took first prize for Moisture Shot Jelly, skin care formulation concept that delivers intense hydration in a unique jelly format that melts into the skin, offering a combination of a gel’s cooling sensation with a cream’s long-lasting power without feeling sticky. It features upcycled macadamia
oil from Kenya to reduce waste and support local farmers. Also nominated in the
Sustainability and Ethics category were Adina Cosmetic Ingredients for Smoke Scrub; Alchemy Ingredients for On the Glow Foundation Stick; Cornelius for Snowflake CalmiBar; and Sigmund Lindner for Neon Bioglitter For Flashy Cosmetic Products. In the Technology & Disruption
category, Croda Beauty won for Biomimetic Bond Building Serum. The formulation features KeraBio
K31, its next-generation biomimetic hair repair ingredient that harnesses the power of biotechnology to act as a vegan keratin recharge at the molecular level, rebuilding and strengthening hair beyond conventional repair. Also nominated were Evolved
by Nature for Glorifying Agent; Innospec for The White Rabbit Refill Cleaning Sachet; Provital for Deadly Sins Unleashed: Crafting Tempting Formulas for Perfect Hair and Skin; and Summit Cosmetics Europe for Emotive Infusion Ritual Set. The awards were judged by
