dermal–epidermal junction to limit pigment leakage (collagen XVII +63%, melanosomal Pmel17 −83% in a UV-irradiated pigmented 3D skin model). It also reduces lipofuscin, the oxidised age
pigment, by 46% in keratinocytes in vitro. In a 56-day split-face study at 3%, radiance, tone evenness and fine lines improved significantly versus placebo; at 2%, Illumeta delivered benchmark-level melanin reduction with a more favourable barrier profile than 0.1% butylresorcinol.
high soft-focus effect KSG-16-SF and KSG-19-PF. KSG-16-SF delivers high blurring performance to help create a flawless-looking finish, while KSG- 19-PF is characterized by a light powdery texture, providing a superior smooth feel and a lightweight sensory experience during application.
Solabia (W50) will showcase Bloomlight, a new generation brightening active inspired by one of nature’s most fascinating communication systems: plant exosomes. Developed from organic French lemon thyme using Solabia’s green biotechnology expertise, Bloomlight is enriched in plant exosomes, natural carriers of biological information. These communication carriers inspired
the development of a unique approach to pigmentation, based on a novel concept: the neuro- pigmentation. It helps the skin maintain balanced cellular dialogue when challenged by environmental and lifestyle stressors. Its breakthrough approach was validated using a pioneering model, providing a new perspective on the connection between skin communication and visible pigmentation concerns. Beyond traditional brightening strategies,
Sethic (AF80)
Shandong Runhan Biotechnology (X78) will present high purity Acetyl Glucosamine (N acetyl D glucosamine), a multi functional biotech derived cosmetic active ingredient. Produced via controlled microbial fermentation, this skin identical amino sugar delivers multiple skin care benefits for modern personal care formulations. It stimulates endogenous hyaluronic acid
synthesis to boost long term skin hydration and strengthen epidermal barrier performance. It also provides gentle brightening effects by modulating melanin production, evening skin tone and reducing visible hyperpigmentation without irritation caused by harsh exfoliants such as AHAs. Well tolerated even for sensitive skin, Acetyl
Glucosamine shows excellent water solubility and broad pH compatibility, easy to integrate into serums, moisturisers and mask formulas.
Shin-Etsu (X50) will exhibit its new KHG-3818 organoclay gel. It is a high-performance oil-based thickener in which organoclay dispersion in alkyl- modified silicone, designed to provide excellent compatibility with a wide range of oils and to be easily incorporated into W/O and anhydrous oil- based systems. Thanks to a sufficiently swollen organoclay
achieved through an optimized hydrogen bonding process, it gives effective rheology modification and oil-phase thickening with thixotropic behaviour while also enhancing emulsion stability, helping formulators achieve improved viscosity, texture, and formulation stability. Applicable to a wide range of formulations, it is ideal for applications such as liquid makeup, sunscreens, and other cosmetic products. Also on show are silicone elastomer gels with
Bloomlight draws on the latest discoveries in skin communication, including the role of microRNAs (miRNAs), extracellular vesicles involved in regulating skin functions linked to pigmentation and radiance. Clinically tested, Bloomlight helps reduce the
appearance of visible dark spots while contributing to the prevention of emerging discolouration. The result is brighter, clearer and more radiant- looking skin. Combining plant exosome inspiration, biological intelligence and sustainable innovation, Bloomlight opens a new chapter in brightening skin care.
