Evonik is presenting its latest innovations at the leading cosmetic tradeshow in-cosmetics global in Amsterdam, 8-10 April, 2025. At this year’s show, Evonik is highlighting the innovation and holistic expertise that is enabling the company to meet the high demand for high-performance, eco-friendly personal care solutions.
“Together with our partners, we are redefining the soul and science of beauty, to offer more high-performance, sustainable solutions that add even more value for consumers. I invite our customers and prospects to come and talk to us and find out how we can work together!” said Ute Schick, head of Evonik’s Care Solutions business line.
Evonik is leveraging its biotechnology platform to drive sustainable innovation with biosolutions such as biosurfactants, biopolymers, vegan collagen and ceramides. Last year the company opened a new plant for cosmetic emollients that are manufactured using an enzymatic process. This process can help reduce the climate footprint of emollients by more than 60 percent compared to a chemical process.
Evonik is also playing a key role in developing sophisticated, evidence-based products. By adopting a holistic “one personal care” approach that draws on the company’s 90-year experience in cosmetic ingredients and 30-year legacy in active ingredients, Evonik offers customized, innovative solutions that are tailored to customer needs, no matter if it is a large company or a start-up. One example of this approach is Evonik’s Skin Institute, which leverages a global network of skin science experts to provide specialized support in claim-substantiated cosmetics.
Evonik’s key innovation highlights at in-cosmetics global 2025 include:
- TEGOSOFT® BC MB is an eco-friendly, natural emollient that can be used in sun care and other skin applications. It is vegan, fully based on renewable resources, biodegradable and produced via an eco-efficient enzymatic process, giving it a lower climate footprint compared to the market standard.
- RHEANCE® D50 is a vegan and cruelty-free multifunctional biosurfactant that is made from renewable feedstocks sourced in Europe. It is manufactured using an eco-friendly fermentation process and is suitable for certified natural cosmetics.
- Vecollage® Fortify GP is a skin-identical, vegan collagen polypeptide. It features a unique dual anti-aging mechanism that targets age-related collagen loss. Using the power of epigenetics, it offers anti-aging performance at minimal use level and can complement skincare routines during aesthetic procedures.
- dermosoft® GPT MB is a natural multifunctional antimicrobial wetting agent that broadens the options for alternative preservation, while respecting the skin microbiome. It is fully based on renewable resources and produced via an eco-friendly catalyzed process.
- SKINLIPIX® HydraShield combines plant-oil-based ceramides and moisturizers into an innovative ceramide stabilizing system. This unique technology simplifies formulation while enhancing skin barrier function, moisturization and hydration.
- CapilMax® features a natural active designed to deliver instant hair thickening through a unique blend of amino acids and powerful extracts. MaquiGlow®, a cutting-edge antioxidant derived from the maqui fruit, showcases the rich biodiversity of Patagonia, Argentina. This innovative natural active enhances skin luminosity and promotes an even skin tone.
Detailed information on the above innovations is available at the Evonik Booth 1A20. During the show, Evonik is also presenting a Technical Seminar on “Biotech in Beauty: Vegan & Skin Identical Collagen” and giving a talk on TEGOSOFT® BC MB in the Sustainability Zone.
