Introducing the Laboratoires Botanique Avancée regenerative skincare range

Chapô : Laboratoires Botanique Avancée unveils an exceptional range of regenerative skin care products, incorporating innovative technology.

Laboratoires Botanique Avancée presents its new-generation regenerative skincare range. Considered a new signature of French luxury cosmetics, this range focuses on anti-aging care, with a selection of short, ultra-concentrated, scientifically advanced products designed to reactivate the skin's youthful mechanisms over the long term.

Exclusive Neo-Regen technology

The fruit of several years' research in plant biotechnology, the brand relies on a breakthrough innovation: exclusive Neo-Regen technology, developed in collaboration with Dr. Jean-Marc Lemaître, a specialist in cellular aging. This technology acts simultaneously at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels, enabling visible, global skin regeneration.

A short, powerful and highly concentrated range

The collection is made up of four fundamental skincare products, enriched with millions of plant stem cells and concentrated with up to 30 % of active ingredients, with a minimum of 95 % of ingredients of natural origin. Designed as a complete ritual, the range includes :

  • Regenerative Cream Serum: a hybrid treatment to stimulate skin regeneration.
  • Crème Fondante Régénérative: firms, corrects wrinkles and improves skin comfort.
  • Regenerative Silky Eye Cream: targeted care to smooth and revitalize the eye contour.
  • Moisture Infusion Lotion: the first step in preparing the skin and boosting the effectiveness of subsequent treatments.

Complete rituals and refillable formats complete the range, combining luxury, performance and durability.

Clinically proven results

The formulas deliver measurable performance:

  • up to +53 % firmness,
  • -20 % of wrinkles,
  • +92 % of skin comfort after 3 months' use.

These results are validated by clinical tests and by a novel approach: the evaluation of active ingredients on skin organoids, a world first resulting from over 30 years of research in regenerative medicine.

Based at the heart of the Baulieu botanical estate in Provence, the laboratories develop their formulas from a unique ecosystem, including plant stem cells with high regenerative potential and mineral-rich spring water. This alliance between living nature and scientific innovation embodies a more sustainable and effective vision of beauty. Launched at the end of 2025, the brand is already establishing itself as a player to watch for its radical approach and immediate visible results.

Givaudan strengthens its presence in Latin America with the construction of a new plant in Pedro Escobedo.

On April 24, 2026, Givaudan celebrated the start of construction work on a new plant in Pedro Escobedo, Mexico. This event marks a significant milestone in the company's commitment to the region and its customers.

Plant inauguration and key initiatives

The ceremony was the occasion for two major announcements: the official opening of an expanded perfumery and beauty ingredients production site, now fully operational, and the launch of construction of a new compounding plant. The latter will reach a production capacity of 20,000 to 25,000 tonnes by 2029. Investment in these projects amounts to over 160 million US dollars.

Commitment to sustainability and growth

Christian Stammkoetter, General Manager of Givaudan, said: « Both events build on previous major investments made at our Pedro Escobedo site. In 2024, Givaudan inaugurated an extension to the production site dedicated to encapsulation technologies, doubling its capacity, which now represents 40 % of our worldwide capacity in this field. With this new phase, we're not just expanding our presence; we're strengthening the basis for a more collaborative relationship with our customers in this region. "

Maurizio Volpi, President of Givaudan Fragrances and Beauty, added: « The new Pedro Escobedo site represents a forward-looking step for our Perfumes and Beauty business in Latin America. "

Each investment has increased Pedro Escobedo's strategic importance, positioning him as a pillar of Givaudan's growth in the Latin American market.

The Berkem Group unveils Cocoamind, an innovative cocoa extract designed to support cognition and emotional balance.

The Berkem Group, a major player in plant-based chemistry, has announced the launch of Cocoamind, a new nutraceutical active specifically designed to improve mental well-being. This cocoa extract is derived from selected, unfermented and unroasted cocoa beans, and features a proven dual action: supporting cognitive performance and maintaining emotional balance.

Concentration, memory, mood and emotional well-being

Cocoamind addresses the main challenges of modern mental health by tackling four key dimensions: concentration, memory, mood and emotional well-being, in an often demanding day-to-day life. The effectiveness of this active ingredient was evaluated in a pilot study involving 105 participants over a two-month period. The results, obtained via scientifically recognized questionnaires, highlighted the beneficial effects on these four dimensions, with improvements noted as early as the first month of supplementation.

A global vision of mental well-being

Nathalie Lévy, Health, Beauty & Nutrition Marketing Manager at the Berkem Group, says: « With Cocoamind, we wanted to develop an active ingredient capable of addressing mental well-being in its entirety. This launch reflects our conviction that mental health is not just about managing stress: it also encompasses the ability to concentrate, to feel positive emotions and to thrive in an increasingly intense day-to-day life. "

Cocoamind will be presented at the Vitafoods Europe trade show, to be held in Barcelona from May 5 to 7, 2026.

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.

site-industries-cosmetiques Three people stand together against a light background. The person on the left has curly red hair, the one in the middle has short brown hair and the one on the right has straight black hair. All are smiling.

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.
