Roquette launches four innovations in its Beauté by Roquette range, dedicated to improving the sensory and textural performance of cosmetic products.

Roquette has announced the launch of four new solutions in its Beauté by Roquette range. These innovations, presented at in-cosmetics Global 2026 in Paris, include Beauté by Roquette DS 700 and three premium alginates.

Launch of a premium range of marine alginates

Alginates Beauté by Roquette AG 215, AG 219 and AG 291, derived from renewable brown algae, are biodegradable and supported by recognized responsible sourcing programs. These alginates offer a variety of gelling behaviors, from viscous or elastic gels to firmer structures, enabling formulators to design innovative textures and enhance the user experience. Specifically, AG 215 is suitable for gel and stick formats, AG 219 has suspension properties, and AG 291 acts as a viscosifying agent. All three also offer a refreshing effect and a light sensation on the skin.

Beauté by Roquette DS 700 represents a technological breakthrough in vegan softgels, enabling high-end packaging to be customized in terms of shape, size and color. Based on starch, this biodegradable solution is an alternative to gelatin capsules of animal origin, while preserving sensitive active ingredients. As a high-performance film-forming agent, DS 700 ensures water resistance of 100 % in suncare and make-up, outperforming existing starch-based solutions.

These launches, integrated with the range expansion announced in March 2026, bring new possibilities for sensory design and product performance.

Alpol Cosmétique enriches its face care offering with Boosting spicule shot, a serum that uses spicule technology to enhance skin activation and penetration of active ingredients. Positioned in the anti-aging segment, the product combines micro-exfoliation, smoothing action and skin barrier support.

The formula is based on encapsulated bisabolol spicules, presented as micro-needles capable of creating micro-channels in the skin's upper layer. Alpol combines them with an active duo of Matrixyl 3000 peptides and a biotech retinoid, with a promise focused on firmness, elasticity, smoothing of skin texture and radiance of complexion.

To accompany this stimulation phase, the brand has selected a number of moisturizing and soothing ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, D-panthenol, centella asiatica and phytosqualane. All this reflects a positioning that seeks to combine visible efficacy with mastery of skin comfort, in a market where formulas inspired by professional protocols continue to gain ground.

The product comes in a 30 ml format, with a pearly milky gel texture and recommended use in the evening, two to three times a week to start with. With this launch, Alpol is banking on a technical approach to home care, at the crossroads of anti-aging, gentle exfoliation and optimized delivery of active ingredients.

AlgaSurge: an active ingredient for skin longevity

AlgaSurge presents itself as a new active ingredient that could redefine formulations focused on skin longevity. Derived from an extremophilic microalgae through advanced biotechnology, this highly purified sulfated polysaccharide mimics the benefits of hyaluronic acid while serving as a plant-based alternative to NDS, without the usual limitations. Unlike hyaluronic acid, this polysaccharide resists enzymatic degradation, offering long-lasting results.

Its dual mechanism of action includes high-molecular-weight polysaccharide fractions forming a protective film, while low-molecular-weight components penetrate deeper to maintain hydration and rejuvenate skin cells. AlgaSurge stimulates the production of pro-collagen I and hyaluronic acid, and restores autophagic flow in aged fibroblasts, while reducing IL-8 release thanks to its anti-inflammatory power. These actions target three features of cutaneous aging, improving skin longevity.

Clinical tests comparing AlgaSurge to a standard hyaluronic acid show impressive results, including an increase in skin fullness after just one application, improved skin density and immediate reinforcement of barrier function. Additional benefits include a reduction in wrinkles and improved elasticity and firmness.

Lysofix Liquid: a multifunctional emulsifier

New efficacy data for Lysofix Liquid, a mild, cold emulsifier, confirm its multifunctional performance, particularly in terms of suppleness and skin barrier reinforcement, positioning this product as an ideal choice for skincare formulations for sensitive and ageing skin. In capillary applications, Lysofix Liquid reinforces fiber integrity from within and improves combability both wet and dry.

" We are proud to present these innovations, which reflect our commitment to combining nature-inspired solutions with proven performance. », says Isabelle Lacasse, Global Marketing Manager, Lucas Meyer Cosmetics Product Line Management & Formulation at Clariant. « AlgaSurge offers exceptional results for skin longevity while providing formulators with a natural, vegan alternative to hyaluronic acid and PDRNs, while improved data for Lysofix Liquid demonstrates its versatility in skin and hair care applications. "

Visitors will also be able to discover the «LightYears» formulation concept, illustrating the convergence of advanced science, innovation and transformative beauty. This collection of five skin and hair care prototypes is designed to inspire formulators to create longevity solutions that anticipate future consumer expectations.

Core Biogenesis has announced the launch of Peaureva, a biotechnology-derived active ingredient designed to improve hair density and scalp health in 28 days.

Core Biogenesis recently launched Peaureva, a biotechnology-derived cosmetic active designed to target the biological causes of thinning hair and aging scalp. This new ingredient will be presented at In-Cosmetics Global 2026 in Paris.

#1TP8A new active ingredient targeting biological mechanisms

Unlike traditional cosmetic ingredients that focus primarily on the appearance of hair fibers, Peaureva has been developed to address the biological mechanisms influencing follicle activity and scalp health. Hair thinning is increasingly perceived as a multifactorial process, resulting from a number of biological changes in the scalp microenvironment.

Core Biogenesis identifies five biological factors related to scalp aging that contribute to the progressive decrease in hair density:

- dysregulation of the hair cycle - decreased dermal papillae signaling - declining microvascular support around follicles - progressive thinning of hair fibers - deterioration of the scalp's barrier environment

Peaureva has been designed to support these interconnected pathways using oleosome-stabilized biomimetic growth factor technology.

Clinical results in 28 days

Peaureva was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 40 volunteers. Instrumental measurements showed statistically significant improvements over placebo on several scalp and hair parameters.

After 28 days, active treatment showed:

- 33.6 % increase in capillary density - 14.0 % increase in anagen/telogen ratio - 5.0 % increase in hair shaft thickness - 17.5 % increase in scalp hydration

An increase in the anagen/telogen ratio indicates a shift in follicles towards the active growth phase, while improvements in fiber density and thickness contribute to a fuller hair appearance.

Most cosmetic actives designed to treat hair thinning typically require 90-120 days of continuous use to show modest improvements. The early improvements observed with Peaureva highlight the potential of biotechnology-based approaches targeting follicular signaling pathways.

Croda Beauty Actives unveils Matrixyl Neolide, a breakthrough in peptide technology for optimized skincare performance.

At a time when cosmetic peptides are constantly evolving, Croda Beauty Actives presents Matrixyl Neolide. This innovation, a significant evolution of Matrixyl, uses advanced encapsulation technology to ensure precise peptide delivery and prolonged activity.

Encapsulation for optimum efficiency

Patented encapsulation technology protects Matrixyl in formulations, regulates its release within the skin (over 15 days of peptide release) and guarantees consistent performance that consumers can rely on. This enables brands to formulate products with less « formulation noise »and more predictable efficiency.

Initial clinical data show a visible firming effect in just two weeks (+25 %, p<0.01 vs. T0). Matrixyl Neolide integrates ideally into modern routines, whether professional skin care protocols or recovery care after light aesthetic treatments, showing remarkable synergy with microneedling applications (+31 % of collagen III, p<0.01 vs placebo + microneedling).

With Matrixyl Neolide, Croda Beauty Actives strengthens its position in peptide innovation, while offering brands a new opportunity to differentiate themselves with a name that is already recognized worldwide. Matrixyl Neolide contains 99.79 % of natural-origin content (according to ISO16128) and has a reduced carbon footprint (-43 %) compared to Matrixyl, while being TFA-free and RSPO and vegan-friendly.
