Solabia Group was honored with two Gold Awards at the 2026 edition of In-Cosmetics Global, in recognition of its ViscoPure and OleoVeil Care innovations.

At In-Cosmetics Global 2026, Solabia showcased a new wave of active and functional ingredients, highlighting the importance of performance and sensoriality in skincare, make-up and hair care.

Among the innovations presented, ViscoPure received the Gold Award in the Best Functional Ingredient category. This entirely biobased, water-based gelling agent offers exceptional viscosity at ultra-low doses, and enables the creation of stable, sensorial textures, thanks to an eco-designed, solvent-free manufacturing process.

The OleoVeil Care innovation, awarded in the Make-Up Bar category, is an amphiphilic film-forming emollient that reduces peeling while offering resistance to water and transfer. Its structure, combining hydrophobic and hydrophilic blocks, ensures excellent skin affinity.

Bloomlight, an organic active inspired by nature, targets neuropigmentation via exosome-mediated communication. Made from organic lemon thyme, it acts on neurogenic factors associated with stress. In clinical tests, Bloomlight has been shown to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots.

3Dermilyn GH, an easily accessible active ingredient derived from plantain seeds and Cosmos-approved, stands out for its anti-inflammatory and restorative properties. This polysaccharide instantly moisturizes the skin, promoting cell regeneration and cutaneous well-being.

To illustrate the «Awaken your senses» theme, Solabia also created a Texture Area, where visitors could discover the sensory signature of new ingredients through 11 formulas and texture demonstrations.

This double victory demonstrates Solabia's ongoing commitment to innovation, sustainability and scientific excellence in the field of natural cosmetic ingredients. These distinctions were complemented by two BSB Awards, confirming the recognition of the high-performance formulations presented.

Increase in AI skincare research reaches 2,647 %

site-industries-cosmetiques Line graph showing monthly search volume for "AI skincare" over five years. The graph shows a sharp increase from the end of 2023, peaking at over 1.3 million. Last month's searches: 733,000; 26,477 % growth over the past year.

Research into artificial intelligence skincare is increasing dramatically, leading consumers to explore new beauty technologies.

According to research data analyzed by Fresha, searches for “AI skincare” reached 733,000 over the past month, up 2,647 % year-on-year. This surge reflects consumers' growing interest in a new wave of beauty technologies, from skin analysis via selfies to AI-assisted devices designed to personalize skincare at home.

AI skincare: understanding and limits

While AI is becoming increasingly visible in the beauty world, Fresha points out that many consumers still don't fully understand what these tools are, what they can really do, and where their limits begin. Danielle Louise, beauty expert on the Fresha app, said, « AI skincare is taking off because it promises two things that beauty consumers are looking for today: personalization and convenience. "

The AI skincare products that fuel this boom fall into a number of well-defined categories. These include:

  • Skin analysis and selfie scan tools for assessing visible skin features.
  • AI-based product recommendation platforms, using facial scans and questionnaires to recommend suitable products.
  • Intelligent care devices, adapting treatments according to information provided by the user.
  • Predictive technologies for the skin, assessing how the skin may react to certain ingredients.

Danielle Louise adds: « Where they are most effective today is in providing support. They can help guide product selection and make routines more personalized. "

However, it is crucial that consumers remain vigilant in the event of dermatological problems. Danielle Louise warns: “« The danger arises when consumers begin to believe that an intelligent beauty tool can tell them everything they need to know about their skin. It can't. "

Why is AI skincare so popular now?

The rise of AI skincare reflects an evolution in the way consumers approach beauty. Danielle Louise adds, « Consumers are becoming more selective in their purchases, but at the same time, they are exposed to more products than ever before. "

This shift is reinforced by consumers' desire for personalization in their skincare routines, while seeking to avoid the increased complexity of too many options. Trust in these products will depend on brands being transparent about the distinction between practicality and true expertise.

Clariant launches the «Let True Beauty Glow» formulation concept, combining multifunctional innovation and authenticity.

Clariant recently unveiled its «Let True Beauty Glow» Formulation Concept 2026, introducing a beauty innovation strategy designed to celebrate natural radiance and authentic self-expression. The concept is based on the idea of «hacking nature's secret of radiance», where the emphasis is on enhancing what already exists rather than radically transforming appearance.

This formulation concept illustrates two major changes in consumer behavior. On the one hand, value-conscious consumers are looking for higher-performance products offering multiple benefits, moving away from traditional categories to focus on the essentials of their routines. On the other, a trend towards authentic beauty, with minimal ingredients and maximum trust, is replacing exaggerated promises and complex routines.

The portfolio includes 15 innovative formulations aimed at meeting these changing needs, including hair care solutions such as GlowRay Hair Mist, protecting hair on beach days, and FreshUp Body Spray, offering an instant cooling effect. Formulations take advantage of Clariant's advanced ingredient technologies, including Aristoflex variants for lightweight textures, plant-derived emulsifiers and emollients, and Eclipsogen UV filters for advanced protection.

Clariant will also be showcasing its «Let True Beauty Glow» concept at NYSCC Suppliers’ Day 2026 on May 19 and 20 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, booth 841, where visitors will have the opportunity to test formulations and discuss their potential in new product development.

Cosmetic innovation: Timeless Lips by Bruno Vassari

Bruno Vassari launches Timeless Lips, a spray-on anti-aging balm for lips and lip contours.

When it comes to anti-aging skincare, lips are rarely considered a priority. However, this area is particularly revealing of the passage of time. Thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, lip skin contains fewer protective lipids and retains less moisture, making it more prone to dehydration and the appearance of fine lines. What's more, exposure to cold, wind, pollution and UV rays accelerates volume loss and reduces lip contour definition.

To meet this need, Bruno Vassari, a Spanish professional skincare brand, introduces Timeless Lips - Plumping and Moisturizing Peptide Balm. This anti-aging balm combines science and comfort to visibly improve lip quality. Its advanced formula includes new-generation peptides and highly moisturizing active ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier, improve moisture retention and optimize lip tissue structure. The result is softer, better hydrated and visibly healthier lips. At the same time, it provides a natural plumping effect that redefines lip contours and reduces the appearance of fine lines, achieving a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Unlike most lip volumizing products, which rely on irritating mechanisms such as reactive vasodilation - causing slight swelling often accompanied by tingling or burning sensations - Timeless Lips takes a physiological approach. Its technology acts directly on the quality of lip tissue, stimulating key skin processes to progressively improve lip density and volume without causing irritation or discomfort. This approach guarantees a more natural, comfortable and long-lasting result.

From the very first application, lips appear smoother, brighter and more comfortable. With continued use, there is a gradual improvement in surface texture, an increase in volume, a visible reduction in vertical lines and an overall improvement in density and uniformity.

BASF unveils its «Beyond Beauty: Authentic+» concept, focused on authenticity and emotional well-being, at in-cosmetics Global 2026 in Paris.

In a world where digital beauty filters can instantly create idealized images, BASF's «Beyond Beauty: Authentic+» concept, presented at in-cosmetics Global in Paris, invites a return to authenticity. « At BASF, we believe that personal care should help everyone feel good about their bodies, beyond any digital ideal. »says Boris Gaspar, Head of Market Development Personal Care EMEA. « With Authentic+, we redefine beauty as a deeply personal and emotional experience, drawing on our historical expertise in sensory analysis and new emotion-based approaches. "

A return to authenticity

Rather than competing with digital image manipulation, BASF promotes personal care that takes into account the overall health of the individual. The products combine sensory rituals and experiences that reinforce self-confidence, while enhancing individuality. The «+» in Authentic+ symbolizes the emotional dimension, with formulations designed to elicit genuine emotions, a sense of connection and self-esteem. Unique textures, such as lotion-to-powder emulsions and water-based massage oils, transform daily routines into skincare rituals, encouraging everyone to embrace their true identity.

BASF is also launching two new products at the show:

- Plantigenix Bisabolol: a biotechnological active ingredient offering high purity and soothing properties. Produced by fermentation, it meets the growing demand for natural cosmetics focusing on well-being and skin comfort. Its manufacturing process guarantees consistent purity while reducing pressure on natural resources. - Uvinul T 150 X EcoBalanced: the first UV filter in BASF's Biomass Balance (BMB) version, this product offers a reduced carbon footprint by replacing fossil raw materials with renewable resources, while maintaining the same efficiency as conventional versions.
