I invite visitors to experience our new visual identity first hand at our booth!” said Ute Schick, head of the Care Solutions business line at Evonik.

New visual identity unveiled

Evonik’s newly developed visual world for its Beauty & Personal Care business will debut at the show, reinforcing the company’s positioning as a partner of choice for sustainable specialty solutions, offering a holistic ingredient portfolio for cosmetic formulations. The refreshed branding creates an atmosphere of magical elements, positioning Evonik as a company that anticipates needs and turns them into reality.

Three fairy tales at the booth

Evonik’s booth brings its new visual identity to life through three contemporary fairy tales. Each story demonstrates how Evonik helps beauty brands respond to evolving consumer expectations around science-backed claims, sustainability and superior sensory.

The Secret of Silken Reflection showcases biomimetic actives like skin-identical ceramides, collagen polypeptides, and hyaluronic acid, as well as advanced delivery systems. These solutions address growing consumer demand for products that strengthen skin resilience and counteract visible signs of aging and environmental stress.

The Mirror of Emotions focuses on meeting the industry’s need for elevated sensorial and emotional engagement in beauty products. This story features natural emulsifiers, velvety emollients, sensory enhancers, and a new color cosmetics “MakeUp Magicconcept with fairy tale-inspired formulations.

The Sky Garden of Tomorrow underscores Evonik’s commitment to helping brands navigate the shift toward more sustainable formulations. These innovations include glycolipid biosurfactants, traceable botanicals, and eco-optimized ingredients.
