Texture is increasingly important and so we are advancing silicone- replacement ingredients. Silicone-free is still happening but people want silicone-free with the same sensoriality, with naturality. At this show, we are


presenting a new sensory enabler, Distinctive Mac, which is an emollient derived from upcycled macadamia. It is a silicone replacement with a powdery touch to deliver a luxurious sensorial profile, not just for the skin but also for


hair shine and protection. It is the first of many


sensory enabling silicone replacements that we have in the pipeline for different applications. Another trend I see is AI


saturation. Many companies say their products are based on AI. In fashion, we saw an overpopulation of cheap fashion, but then people questioned the sustainability of relying on fast fashion and there was more of a balance between fast fashion, and vintage clothing.


I think we’ll see the same in


beauty. Gen Zs will start to be more minimalist in their beauty regimens, they will want fewer products, but they will want more quality. They also have less facility to spend. So the industry needs to be smart about the kind of products we’ll design, about their multifunctionality, about their sustainability.

We are expanding our capabilities. This year, we have expanded our fermentation production capacity fivefold in Gavà, near Barcelona in Spain. We have also opened a


Beauty Research Institute in Sao Paulo in Brazil, where we perform in vitro and in vivo testing for our active ingredients. Maybe, in the next few years,


we will expand our capabilities in India too.


A lot of people know us for our polypeptides. This year, we’re starting to go in the peptide space, as small as three amino acids. Normally these are derived from chemical synthesis but, in our case, they are fermentation derived. They are the same molecules but are free of PFAS and are more sustainable. For next year’s show, I


think we’ll be showing more


on the bioactive peptide side. In Europe especially, there are regulation changes. For many of the peptides,


more than 90% of peptides come from China. In our case, we are able to source and produce differently: we have traceability, visibility, and cost- competitiveness.

reprogramming skin longevity, one for restoring sensitive skin equilibrium, one for rebalancing acne- prone skin; and one for refining skin tone and texture. We understand that active


ingredients are very powerful, but we believe that we need to help them penetrate the


For me, what’s exciting in the industry today is the focus on science, on data, and clinical validation. It’s less about the fluffy claims or ‘natural for the sake of natural’. Natural is fine but it has to come with performance benefits. Consumers are incredibly

made 50 years ago. The retinols, the vitamins. They have an activity but they’re not human- skin compatible. They are foreign to the human body. We’ve made a name for


ourselves with growth-factor proteins but next year we’ll be launching a non-growth factor. We want to showcase the breadth of our technology by making biomimetic proteins more stable and with better skin delivery.
