Climate-focused beauty in the spotlight at DSM-Firmenich, Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, Sensient, IMCD

At this year’s edition of in-cosmetics Asia, the Beauty 4.0 Podcast ​explored how the cosmetics industry can tackle challenges of climate change with products designed to protect our skin, hair, and overall wellness from environmental stressors.

The ingredients trade show, held from November 5 to 7 in Bangkok, featured companies working to help consumers handle the stresses of environmental exposure with innovative solutions.

At DSM-Firmenich, there was a major focus on thermal ageing with the Bi-Phase Thermal Ageing AGELESS Mist, which won a bronze Spotlight On award at the in-cosmetics Asia awards.

The formulation contained four key ingredients, including Eterwell Youth, SYN-COLL CB, SYN-UP, and Pentavitin.

“It’s important to tackle all different causes of impairment of the skin barrier. We believe that the AGELESS Mist could be a very nice inspiration for our customers to develop a product and focusing on this emerging trend, which is thermal ageing,” said Nicolas Lasbistes, regional director of marketing, DSM-Firmenich.

In addition to active ingredients, the sensory aspect is just as important and Lucas Meyer Cosmetics developed the CompasSense concept which highlight textures fitting different climates from tropical to polar.

“This is something that consumers are also increasingly looking out for. And you also see brands out there are also formulating for this kind of concept, in the sense that traditionally, they are looking at formulations that are suitable for different types of skin, but now you would be looking more towards formulating for different weather conditions instead,” said Maybelline Tan, regional marketing manager, APAC, Lucas Meyer Cosmetic by Clariant.
