CLR celebrates centenary at in-cosmetics Global
German personal care active ingredient maker CLR celebrated 100 years of cosmetic science at in-cosmetics Global 2026 in Paris, France.
CLR (Chemisches Laboratorium
Dr. Kurt Richter) - founded in 1926 by Richter and business partner Dr. J. Altpeter in Berlin - marked the centenary with the launch of SkinCharge CLR, an active designed to support skin exposed to the realities of digital lives. The innovation reflects a
growing scientific interest in how daily behavioural patterns and environmental influences affect skin appearance and resilience. SkinCharge CLR helps soften
expression-related wrinkling, improves the appearance of the eye contour
CLR reflects a new direction in cosmetic science. The ingredient addresses skin
longevity from the perspective of modern living—supporting skin resilience, comfort and appearance in an increasingly digital world. In addition, CLR presented its new
and supports a fresher, more rested overall skin appearance—even in individuals with high screen exposure. The ingredient is supported by a
comprehensive validation strategy that connects advanced biological research with innovative evaluation methods designed to better reflect real-life consumer lifestyles. By combining advanced biological
research with innovative lifestyle- oriented testing methods, SkinCharge
formulation concept ‘Your Skin. Your Comfort’. The concept explores how modern
cosmetic products can go beyond visible results to deliver a holistic experience that consumers can truly feel.

Lucas Meyer Cosmetics taps blue biotech
Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant unveiled AlgaSurge, a longevity active derived from an extremophile microalga through advanced blue biotechnology, at in-cosmetics Global 2026. The highly purified sulfated
polysaccharide (SP) hydrogel biomimics the benefits of hyaluronic acid (HA) while serving as a botanical alternative to PDRN, without their traditional limitations. Unlike HA, its polysaccharide
resists enzymatic degradation for longer-lasting benefits. Its dual-action mechanism
includes high molecular weight SP fractions forming a protective film while low molecular weight components (SP and PDRN) penetrate deeper to lock in moisture and rejuvenate skin cells. AlgaSurge stimulates pro-collagen
I and HA production and restores autophagic flux in aged fibroblasts. With its strong anti-inflammatory
power, AlgaSurge polysaccharide hydrogel also decreases IL-8 release. Clinically tested against a HA benchmark (mixed high and low molecular weights), AlgaSurge demonstrates impressive results:
increased skin plumpness after a single application, improved skin density, and an immediately strengthened barrier function for improved water retention and immediate dewy skin look. Additional benefits include
reduced wrinkles, improved elasticity and firmness and decreased visible spots. Meanwhile, Clariant also
launched Hostapon CT solid, a salt-free taurate surfactant said to offer powerful foam-boosting performance while maintaining good mildness.

Symrise unwraps longevity skin
care active Symrise took the wraps off Cellexora MD, its new longevity skin care active, at in-cosmetics Global 2026 in Paris, France.
The ingredient is based on true
exosomes, 100% plant-derived (ISO 16128-2) from upcycled organic apple side streams in Italy. The German maker says Cellexora
MD enables manufacturers to support deep skin regeneration and long-term vitality while meeting growing consumer expectations for efficacy, transparency, and sustainability. Compared to exosome-inspired
or lab-derived alternatives, the Symrise product delivers true extracellular vesicles. Rigorous scientific
characterization underpins its high stability, reproducibility, and reliable performance. By addressing multiple hallmarks
of skin ageing at once, Cellexora MD supports premium skincare concepts that go beyond surface correction and focus on skin regeneration. Setting a new benchmark in
advanced well-ageing, these plant- derived extracellular vesicles act as biological messengers that facilitate cell-to-cell communication. Through targeted interaction
sensoriality. Bentone Luxe DM is a D5-free
stabilising and emulsifying gel for W/O and W/Si systems, enabling elegant textures, strong stability, cold processable, emulsifier free formulations, and vibrant pigment performance. Bentone Ultimate CCC is a high efficiency, naturally derived rheology modifier offering excellent stability, strong pigment suspension, and broad formulation flexibility at low use levels.
with keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and macrophages, Cellexora MD (INCI: Maltodextrin, Malus domestica fruit vesicles) addresses the root causes of skin ageing and supports multi-layer skin protection for long-term vitality. Cellexora MD delivers clear,
measurable benefits for premium skincare formulations. The ingredient supports collagen production, contributing to visible improvements in skin firmness, elasticity, and resilience. It is also associated with soothing
pathways that help maintain a balanced and comfortable skin environment. In addition, clinical data
demonstrate a reduction in visible signs of ageing, including wrinkle length, depth, and volume, within 30 days of use.
