At in-Cosmetics Global, held in Amsterdam from April 8 to 10, 2025, Clariant announced the launch of its complete portfolio of personal care products under the new name of "Clariant Beauty".
"This launch of a broad portfolio at in-cosmetics Global demonstrates our commitment to combining innovation with sustainability, said Catherine Breffa, Global Head of Marketing at Clariant. By combining the expertise of Clariant and Lucas Meyer Cosmetics under the new name of 'Clariant Beauty', we are providing solutions that not only meet current market demands, but anticipate future beauty care needs."
Clariant Beauty supports Clariant's commitment to developing solutions that align with consumers' and brands' growing priorities for health, transparency and sustainability. As demand grows for products that promote well-being and minimize environmental impact, Clariant provides innovative ingredients and formulation concepts that help brands meet evolving market expectations and regulatory requirements.
Innovative products
For example, the "Heritage Bloom" concept presented at in-Cosmetics includes solutions for frizz control, deep nutrition and scalp care, combining expertise and ingredients from the Clariant and Lucas Meyer Cosmetics portfolios.
At the cutting edge of skincare innovation, GlowCytocin appears to be the first ingredient to harness the benefits associated with the feeling of love.
Derived from white hyacinth bulbs, this active ingredient, backed by a natural origin index of 99.6 %, improves skin luminosity while enhancing receptiveness to a pleasant touch. Clinical studies also demonstrate a visible reduction in wrinkles and improved skin elasticity for rejuvenated skin.
To complement its skin care range, Melicica presents an innovative honey-based repair solution, derived from Australian Jelly Bush honey. This natural, Cosmos-approved 100% ingredient accelerates and optimizes the skin's natural repair process to effectively improve the appearance of scars and damaged skin, whatever the age or skin type.
"Our new active ingredients demonstrate our ability to transform nature's most powerful elements into scientifically proven skincare solutions, says Isabelle Lacasse, Head Global Marketing, Product Line Management & Formulation Lucas Meyer Cosmetics at Clariant. They represent our commitment to sustainable innovation while delivering measurable results to consumers."
The "Skin Sanctuary" concept features three targeted formulas that support the skin barrier throughout daily skincare routines. At its heart is the new Plantasens Emulsifier HP49, an oil-in-water system that displays strong moisturizing properties while leaving a soft sensation after application. Combined with Clariant's Plantasens emollients, the collection of three formulas creates a protective cocoon for the skin.
Aristoflex Sun is an advanced rheology modifier designed for modern suncare products, responding to the growing trend of "Skinification of suncare products". According to Clariant, it guarantees superior UV filter stability at an optimal level, while creating light, fresh textures ideal for everyday UV protection products. With the growing trend towards multifunctional skincare products, Aristoflex Sun offers formulators greater flexibility in creating sophisticated suncare solutions that meet the preferences of today's consumers.
This new product complements Clariant's suncare portfolio, including our recently launched, award-winning Eclipsogen Cap range. This technology offers a stable encapsulation system designed to safeguard UV filters, resulting in homogeneously dispersed particles for enhanced SPF performance. Eclipsogen Cap stands out for its sensorial profile, offering a light feel on the skin, with no white marks, which consumers appreciate in their daily sun care routine.
In the preservation category, Nipaguard SCE Vita introduces Clariant's first all-natural preservation blend for cosmetics. Built on innovative Velsan SC booster technology, this solution enables products to be formulated with a renewable carbon index of 100 %, while offering complete antimicrobial protection against micro-organisms.
