In-Cosmetics 2016: a record year for the Breton cosmetics industry widely represented and rewarded!

Dedicated to suppliers of raw materials, ingredients and services, the international In-Cosmetics trade show is the must-attend event for the global perfumery and cosmetics industry. This year, among the 780 exhibitors, 24 Breton companies came to Paris to present their new products, 3 of which received awards from the ln-Cosmetics jury. International recognition for members of the Capbiotek network! 

International visibility for companies, including the 3 winners

The products of 3 Breton companies were crowned "best innovations 2016" by In-Cosmetics, in the face of top-level global competition backed by international groups (Merck, BASF...). For its first participation in the competition, Agrimer (44 employees, sales €6.6 million), based in Plouguerneau (29), won the gold medal in the functional ingredients category with its caviar scrub and skin care product, a gellable active base in the form of pearls that can be completely dispersed by pressure on the skin. BiotechMarine (40 employees, sales €9.5m, subsidiary of SEPPIC/Air Liquide), based in Pontrieux (22), also won gold in the natural ingredients category with Ephemer, the first cosmetic active ingredient derived from its macroalgal cell culture technology. Finally, in the texture category, a bronze medal was awarded to Technature (70 employees, €10m sales), based in Dirinon (29), for Leaf Mask, a preservative-free blend of green tea and peppermint. These results show real recognition of the dynamism of the regional network and its know-how in natural cosmetics, supported by Capbiotek, which should enable these innovations to be found in the ingredient lists of the biggest cosmetics brands.

The 24 companies present ABC Texture, Abyss' Ingrédents, Agrimer, Algues & Mer, BiotechMarine, Bullier, Cimaprem, Codif, Ephyla, Farcoderm, Greenphyt, HCS Pharma, Javenech, Lessonia, Natlantis, Newonat, Ocealys Laboratoire, Eurosafe, Science & Mer, Setalg, Technature - or based in Brittany: Idea Tests Group, Robertet Health & Beauty and Givaudan.

An industry of excellence in Brittany

To promote the industry, Bretagne Commerce International and CBB Capbiotek, the network of Breton biotech players, coordinated the Breton space within the Cosmetic Valley pavilion. This was an opportunity to highlight regional skills and the new map of Breton cosmetics players (6,000 jobs, sales of 1.8 billion euros), and to look forward to the Cosm'ing 2016 international conference on cosmetic ingredients and biotechnologies in Saint-Malop in June.

Identified by the Regional Council as a strategic area for economic development, the biotechnology sector is managed by the CBB Capbiotek Technology Innovation Center. As part of Capbiotek, the network of Breton biotech players, directories, surveys, mapping and collective actions - international trade shows, investor/company days - are carried out to promote regional skills in two major areas: marine biotechnologies (specificity of the Breton cosmetics sector at international level) and agro-biotech.
