Summary of the year 2019

Every month, we highlight trends or innovative solutions from our broad portfolio for the Personal Care industry.
As 2019 draws to a close, we would like to end this year’s series with a brief summary of some topics covered. In the following paragraphs, we take a look back on three major topics that we focused on to try and help you with your formulation challenges: protection, sustainability, and special consumer needs.

Shielding the skin

For more and more consumers health is the new wealth. One approach to support wealth is to improve skin health by applying the appropriate UV protection. To support consumers in their daily lives, we have developed several formulations which help to protect the skin on the go. In addition, we presented specific formulations to enjoy time at the beach, and you can find out more on intoBeauty®.

However, some consumers are looking beyond only UV protection and are interested in the environmental benefits as well. To meet these requirements, we have created five inspirational formulations that demonstrate how you can achieve effective sun protection with products that contains inorganic sun filters in ways that can excite consumer interest.
