On April 18, 2017, Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, announced that it presented two highlights at in-cosmetics Global: the new Active Ingredients Unit to provide dedicated, expert support for the highly-specialized needs of the Personal Care industry; and the introduction of four new trends with its BeautyForward second edition, expected to impact global Personal Care with inspirational formulations and textures to help customers be one step ahead of their competition.
   Clariant's active ingredients expand its classical portfolio of specialty formulation ingredients for skin care, hair care and body care applications. The company opened its new facilities on the Sanofi BioParc in Toulouse, France on January 1, 2017. The team's priorities will be to extend its existing portfolio of naturally-sourced products from BioSpectrum and Beraca with the future development of novel nature-inspired active ingredients.
   At in-cosmetics, the Active Ingredients team introduced Eosidin (TM) the first solution for indoor pollution control. Indoor pollution is the accumulation of heavy metals and other materials inside your home. It triggers a lot of irritation processes and leads to atopic-prone skin conditions. Eosidin (TM) is specifically targeting this process of skin irritation triggered by indoor pollution and decreases bad skin consequences. Stay tuned for more news to come.
   BeautyForward is a novel platform offering market insights to stimulate new ideas for formulations, creative applications, product design and branding. Clariant’s official trend guide for personal care inspiration is based on extensive on-the-ground research into lifestyle, technology, innovation and emerging cosmetic beauty products. It translates the global societal and cultural changes into personal care trends, consumer profiles, and links these with Clariant ingredients and formulations.
   Nicolas Lasbistes, Clariant Personal Care, global Marketing Manager commented: “Building on the format and successes of the previous edition, BeautyForward edition II shifts to an “outside-in” approach and provides tangible support to help customers pioneer new growth pockets and be one step ahead of their competition. Market insights are transformed into concepts which are turned into reality through inspiring formulations. The backbone formulations are based on product ingredients that can deliver a premium, creative edge to brands.”

At in-cosmetics Global, Clariant demonstrated sixteen new formulations inspired by the four new trends expected to have a deep impact on the beauty business in the coming year:

   CUSTOM: Are you looking for individuality and self-expression? In a globalized era, products, services and experiences feel increasingly similar.

   ORIGIN: Would you like to stay connected with trusted traditions and ingredients? In a global melting pot of cultures, people are looking to hold on to their origins while celebrating the diversity around them.

Beauty is about feeling good in your own skin.
