Roelmi HPC inaugurates biotech business unit, plant in Italy
Roelmi HPC has established Roelmi Biotech, a business unit with a new production plant in Gerenzano, around 25km north- west of Milan, Italy. Located within the Insubrias
BioPark in Gerenzano, the new production and research hub is dedicated to biofermentation and the circular economy. The facility has been established with the goal of consolidating and integrating production capacity for higher quality standards, and adopting cutting-edge technologies with respect for the environment. In this way, the company’s
know-how in ‘white biotechnologies’ can evolve from laboratory research to an industrial production scale, it said.
This development has its roots
in a journey that began in 2008, when Principium – a company merged with Roelmi HPC in 2017 - developed a fermentation method dedicated to hyaluronic acid metabolites. The following year, the
PrincipHYAL was launched, created with the innovative ‘Full Spectrum Hyaluronans’ technology, which generates a broad spectrum of molecular weights working in synergy, mirroring what naturally occurs in the skin. This vision further expanded
in 2010, when the same technological foundations were applied to the nutraceutical field, leading to the creation of ExceptionHYAL, a line of dietary supplement ingredients designed
to support wellbeing. “Today, with the establishment
of Roelmi Biotech, this journey reaches a new milestone: a production and research hub entirely focused on fermentation and the circular economy,” said a spokeswoman. “By transforming by-
products of the Italian industry into new resources, improving production efficiency of selected key ingredients, and aiming to reduce environmental impact, the company seeks to contribute not only to people’s well-being but also to the health of the planet,” she added. Eleonora Santus, general
manager of Roelmi Biotech, said: “The opening of this facility is a source of great pride for us.”
Silab appoints Paul Eguia to management board
Silab has appointed Paul Eguia to its management board as general manager in charge of economic intelligence. Eguia, who is the grandson of
Silab founder Jean Paufique, was previously manager of the natural raw materials platform at the French cosmetic active maker. He joins the management
board alongside chief executive officer Brigitte Closs-Gonthier, Jean-Philippe Cosson, Florence Giner-Meilhac, and Dominique Muller. Silab said Eguia’s appointment
by the supervisory board to the position of general manager in charge of economic intelligence marks an important step in the family continuity desired by the
company’s founder. “Continuity remains a
watchword when it comes to making strategic decisions and embodying our values,” said Closs-Gonthier. “The fact that Paul Eguia is
joining the management board is proof of this: this appointment maintains the link between shareholders and the company and strengthens the stability of our organisation in the medium and long term,” she added. Silab, founded in 1984, is a
100% family-owned company that
since 2003 has been a limited company with management and supervisory boards. Eguia said: “For nearly 40
years, my grandfather built a solid company that is a reference in its market and upholds deeply rooted values. From the outset, he defended Silab’s independence with conviction and pride. “Today, as a new member
of the management board, I am honoured to be part of continuing this wonderful adventure on the path to success and perpetuating Silab’s identity.”
Personal Care magazine reveals refresh for 2026
Personal Care magazine has revealed a new look for the coming new year with a rejigged front cover and feature content. The full cover bleed will feature
a new masthead, as well as a dominant main cover line detailing the lead article. Currently, the Personal Care
cover has coverlines that focus on topics rather than the strongest articles.
“The fresh look reflects a move away from concentrating on a
PERSONAL CARE November 2025
limited number of topics as set out in a prescribed ‘forward features’ list for each issue,” said Personal Care editor Tim Probert. “Going forward, each issue of
Personal Care magazine will have a more timely covering of the hot topics, as well as a regional focus to coincide with upcoming trade shows,” he added. Personal Care will publish
ten issues in 2026, from January through to July and then September through to November.
In addition, 2026 will see the
return of two stalwarts in its highly popular range of formulation guide books. First up is Little Book of Skin
Care Volume 6, which will be released to coincide with the in-cosmetics Global trade show in Paris, France on 14-16 April. The second is Little Book of
Natural Ingredients Volume 6, which will be given a global debut at in-cosmetics Asia in Bangkok, Thailand on 3-5 November 2026.
