PrimalHyal UltraReverse to protect skin from aging and external aggressors 

Givaudan-Active-Beauty_PrimalHyal-UltraReverse

The smallest and longest-lasting intracellular hyaluronic acid ever developed, according to Givaudan, PrimalHyal UltraReverse has the ability to penetrate skin cells and act at DNA level, tackling most of the key features of aging at its root.

This new active ingredient aims to redefine the "aging well" experience, targeting four of the five main characteristics of aging:

  • Epigenetic control - restoration of DNA methylation processes and enhancement of Sirtuin expression and activity, limiting cryptic transcription.
  •  Genomic instability - amplification of DNA repair mechanisms for healthier skin.
  • Telomere attrition - reactivation of telomerase expression and activity, protecting chromosome integrity.
  • Loss of proteostasis - stimulating proteasome activity to ensure optimal cellular function.

By targeting these biological pathways, PrimalHyal UltraReverse protects skin not only from chronological aging, but also from environmental stressors (exposome). According to Givaudan, it increases sirtuin 1 by +136% and improves collagen 1 production by +48%, helping to restore skin's youthfulness. 

The result? Younger, healthier-looking skin, whose apparent age can be reduced by up to six years, according to the Swiss firm. It also corrects the main signs of aging, including wrinkles and sleep lines, while improving skin firmness, as demonstrated by a diverse, international panel of volunteers.

"Drawing on the expertise of PrimalHyal 50 Life, the strain engineering experts at Alderys have designed PrimalHyal UltraReverse, an ultra-low molecular weight hyaluronic acid of less than 3 kDa that unleashes new biological benefits. Produced by precision fermentation, its impact on the environment is drastically reduced - setting a new benchmark for sustainable, high-performance skincare."explains Romain Reynaud, Research & Development Manager.

"Longevity has become a key trend in the beauty industry, driven by growing consumer interest in prevention and a holistic approach to skin health. In fact, 84 % of people agree that they should embrace their age rather than trying to hide it, underlining the move towards a more authentic perspective on aging. Givaudan Active Beauty emphasizes that true skincare is not just about appearance, but about longevity, prevention and well-being, offering solutions that preserve the skin's health capital."comments Mathias Fleury, Category Manager - Active Ingredients.

IBG Lab, a subsidiary of the IBG Group, acquires a stake in Doucea

Doucéa

Innovative Beauty Group (IBG), a global provider of turnkey cosmetics solutions, is now supporting the French dermo-pediatric skincare brand Doucéa via its IBG Lab incubator.

Launched in 2021 to meet the special skin needs of children and toddlers, Doucéa primarily targets pharmacies and parapharmacies, but also pediatricians and dermatologists, with products dedicated to atopic and sensitive skin.

Established in France and China, the brand plans to expand in Europe, the Middle East and Asia with the active support of IBG Lab.

Following the observation that compliance (follow-up and re-use) with treatments for atopic skin in children was low, due to 

Products are often sticky and unpleasant to use, with austere, over-medicalized designs and complicated handling: compliance (follow-up and re-use) with treatments for atopic skin in children is poor. 

With this in mind, Natacha Tarascon, founder of Doucéa, has designed a range of products better adapted to the needs and daily lives of families. The formulation, concentration and presentation are entirely designed to suit children and toddlers.

A dermatological skincare product with eco-responsible packaging

The skin of babies and children is thinner, produces less sebum and is more permeable, making it more sensitive to external aggressions and environmental factors. What's more, children's immune systems are still immature, so their skin is less able to defend itself against bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. As a result, children's skin can develop rashes, dryness and dermatitis/eczema.

The fruit of several months of R&D, Doucéa products combine ingredients such as Tiger grass (Centella asiatica or Gotu Kola), recognized for its anti-inflammatory and healing benefits for atopic dermatitis, with pro/prebiotics that protect the skin barrier.

Fun, practical packaging ensures optimum use. To achieve this, the brand organized workshops with over 400 children, to understand their needs and desires.

In 2024, Doutopia cream was a finalist in the Mamadvisor Awards 2024, a recognition awarded by MagicMaman, the leading media for parents.

In February 2025, after a packaging redesign and range extension, the brand has just been successfully relaunched in China on the three main social networks.

Established in France and China, it plans to expand in Europe, the Middle East and Asia with the active support of IBG Lab.

"After a successful initial marketing phase, particularly in the Asian market, where there is strong demand for quality pediatric care products, I'm delighted to be joining IBG Lab, which is well equipped to help us take our development to the next level. Less alone and well supported, we'll go further.underlines Natacha Tarascon, whose young structure currently has five employees and a network of ten freelancers spread between France and China.

"I'm delighted to support this young, innovative brand, which strengthens our presence in the paediatric sector, where the IBG Group has had little presence. The expertise of its director, Natacha Tarascon, the quality of Doucéa's all-natural, dermocontrolled formulations, and its positioning in a fast-growing market, in view of dietary trends and environmental pollution, are all ingredients that augur well for growth, not only in France, via the network of parapharmacies and healthcare professionals, but also in Asia and the United States, where IBG is well established".explains IBG CEO Xavier Leclerc de Hauteclocque.

Liftilience, Silab's multi-purpose phytotensor, wins an Icic Award

SILAB_ICIC Award

Silab received an award at the International Cosmetics Innovation Conference (Icic) for its Liftilience active ingredient, a multi-purpose tensor extracted from chestnuts.

On Thursday, April 24, 2025, in Shanghai, Silab won the Icic Award in the category Technology Innovative Ingredient Benchmark for its natural film-forming active ingredient Liftilience.

To develop this active ingredient, the SME drew on its mastery of natural ingredients and its expertise in polysaccharide biopolymerization. The company has perfected a unique technology, FHB technology, to obtain functionalized helical biopolymers from chestnut polysaccharides. 

Combining controlled hydrolysis and ionic functionalization, this technology gives Liftilience an optimized tensing effect and adhesion properties scientifically demonstrated by Silab.

"We've been developing natural tighteners for over 35 years. Our strength lies in our ability to combine each generation of phytotensives with a new, increasingly sophisticated technology. The polymerization of plant proteins, the purification of natural polyoses and the biopolymerization of sugars were at the origin of our first tensors. In 2016, we perfected IBPN technology, an interpenetrating network of two biopolymers creating a tight, dense mesh, for the development of Filmexel. Today, Liftilience represents our 6th generation of phytotensives, based on FHB Technology. We are delighted to receive this award, which highlights our long-standing expertise in this field.comments Brigitte Closs-Gonthier, Chairman of the Board and General Manager in charge of R&D, quality and communications at Silab.

Acting as a beauty enhancer and make-up perfector, Liftilience offers, according to SIlab, multiple cosmetic benefits for face and body, with immediate and long-lasting effects. 

Antoine Lie tests Nexdot's UVltimate varnish 

Nexdot

UV rays degrade fragrances contained in transparent bottles: ingredients that are colored may fade and lose coloration (photosensitivity), or a chemical reaction may increase the coloration already present. Light can also alter fragrance.

Perfumers add chemical filters to their formulas to slow down this degradation, but sometimes to the detriment of the perfume's initial balance.

With UVltimate, a UV filtration varnish applied to the bottle to protect olfactory notes, Nexdot aims to change the game.

The company recently called on Antoine Lie, master perfumer at Atelier Français des Matières and one of the world's leading noses (Giorgio Armani, Azzaro, Burberry, Cerruti, Comme Des Garçons, Tom Ford, Givenchy, Kenzo, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Nina Ricci, Versace and Zegna...), to evaluate in real-life conditions the protection offered by UVltimate on the fragrance pyramid.

site-industries-cosmetiques A middle-aged man with gray hair and a beard sits inside, wearing a dark sweater and a watch, hands clasped, looking at the lens. On the round table in the background is a small metal sculpture labeled "Brouillon auto".

Antoine Lie analyzed five fragrances after 4, 12 and 24 hours of exposure to light, in three configurations: without protection (raw formula), with integrated chemical UV filters (traditional solution) and without additives, but with a UVltimate-treated bottle.

"On all types of perfume studied with Nexdot technology, we can conclude that their structures are less subject to loss of freshness and deterioration of note following the tests carried out. In comparison, the same perfumes containing chemical anti-UV agents suffer a far greater loss of freshness and olfactory deterioration, and in the best case, are equivalent to the samples studied with Nexdot technology. It's interesting to note that the more the fragrance structure is based on freshness and transparency, the better Nexdot technology performs compared to conventional chemical anti-UV agents.he concluded. The advantage of the Nexdot innovation is that the technology is located outside the perfume, on the bottle, so it doesn't affect it in any way. From a regulatory point of view, we know that all these additives that are added to perfume are under the microscope of the European Commission, which is beginning to think that they may be harmful to health. Nexdot technology is therefore a hopeful sign of things to come.

Developed from the properties of Quantum Dots (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023), UVltimate prevents the degradation of olfactory molecules and colors under the effect of UV light. According to Nexdot, laboratory studies have shown that its performance surpasses all existing solutions: 

  • Better protection against discoloration and fragrance degradation than traditional varnishes; 
  • This solution represents an effective alternative to chemical UV filters, with no impact on perfume formulation; 
  • Industrial application is simple, and compatible with current glassmaking processes. 

Invisible and non-toxic, the varnish respects the recycling of glass bottles. It thus offers a sustainable alternative, in line with perfume brands' commitment to responsible Clean Beauty. What's more, its industrial application is simplified, with no need to modify existing manufacturing processes.
