33 Precision-engineered active to challenge retinol
As the beauty industry continues its transition toward high-performance, ingredient-driven models, blue biotechnology provides the necessary bridge between nature’s rare potential and industrial requirements for efficacy and sustainability. Seppic presents a marine-based active ingredient, which has been found to match or outperform traditional skin care benchmarks like retinol and bakuchiol, while being produced with total respect for marine ecosystems
39 Boosting SPF performance for improved protection
Backed by internal studies and patented performance data, Oleon presents an emollient that demonstrates significant SPF boosting capabilities alongside superior suspension behaviour, positioning it as a high-value, multifunctional ingredient for formulators aiming to elevate both efficacy and sensorial experience in advanced sun care applications, while meeting the evolving requirements of modern sun care routines
44 Peptide delivery supporting skin resilience
INdermal by Nanovex Biotechnologies presents the findings of a study that suggests improving EGF (epidermal growth factor) delivery through encapsulation may contribute to preserving extracellular matrix organization and elastic fibre integrity under chronoageing-associated conditions. Compared with non-encapsulated EGF, the encapsulated delivery system demonstrated improved biological performance both ex vivo and clinically
51 Practical alternatives for moving on from cyclic silicones
The move away from cyclic silicones is accelerating a broader rethink of texture design. With high-purity, petro-based but biodegradable linear paraffinic emollients—and careful attention to volatility, rheology, dispersion and film formation—formulators can still deliver modern, elegant sensorials, as Thomas Swan & Co explains
56 High-performance polyglycerol esters for makeup removers
Japanese personal care ingredient maker Taiyo Kagaku describes how, by achieving dramatic reductions in interfacial tension while ensuring exceptional safety and skin-eye mildness, it is providing the essential tools for next-generation makeup removers. These formulations do more than just cleanse; they harmonize professional-grade efficacy with transformative sensorial experiences
63 Overcoming the challenges of ascorbic and azelaic acid
Corum presents a next-generation co-drug molecule, which has been developed to overcome the key limitations of ascorbic acid and azelaic acid, including instability, poor penetration, and irritation. By integrating two ascorbic acid units with one azelaic acid core, this amphiphilic structure enables efficient transport across both lipid and aqueous skin environments
