Evonik’s Care Biotics portfolio represents a new generation of cosmetic actives, developed through a fermentation process to support the skin’s natural ecosystem. By leveraging postbiotic concepts, these actives deliver holistic benefits for skin health while aligning with clean beauty principles.
Why Care Biotics?
Modern skincare demands more than surface-level beauty. It requires solutions that are:
- Microbiome-friendly: Ingredients that maintain microbial diversity and promote beneficial species.
- Fermentation-derived: Unlocking complex molecules such as peptides, fatty acids, organic acids and endocannabinoids that enhance skin vitality.
- Sustainably produced: Using renewable feedstocks and eco-conscious processes to minimize environmental impact.
- Globally compliant: Meeting stringent regulatory standards, including China IECIC and COSMOS certification.
Our Portfolio of Fermentation-Derived Actives
The Power of Fermentation
Fermentation is more than a trend - it is a biotechnology that transforms natural substrates into concentrated bioactive complexes. Through controlled microbial processes, we produce ingredients enriched with metabolites that:
- Support cellular energy pathways for improved skin vitality.
- Reinforce barrier function by modulating lipid and protein synthesis.
- Provide antioxidant and soothing benefits through naturally occurring compounds.
Unlike simple extracts, fermentation-derived actives offer enhanced bioavailability and a broader spectrum of functional molecules, making them ideal for advanced skincare formulations.
Our Scientific Foundation
Skin is a dynamic ecosystem where host cells and microorganisms coexist in a delicate balance. Disruption of this balance can lead to dryness, sensitivity, and premature aging. Care Biotics actives are designed to respect and reinforce this equilibrium.
Evonik combines over 40 years of expertise in fermentation, biocatalysis, and microbiome science built on our longstanding experience in animal nutrition and healthcare with sustainable biotechnology. This deep knowledge enables us to create actives that interact with skin physiology, supporting resilience and adaptive responses without disturbing microbial diversity.
