What technological trends are expected to redefine the active cosmetics market?
Major companies operating in the active cosmetics market are developing innovative products, such as natural-origin retinol, to better serve customers with advanced features. Natural-origin retinol refers to a form of retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, that is derived from natural sources rather than being synthetically produced. For instance, in February 2023, Givaudan, a Switzerland-based manufacturer of active cosmetic ingredients, launched RetiLife. This innovative active cosmetic ingredient results from advanced biotechnology development, utilizing microorganisms to produce pure retinol within a natural carrier through a fermentation process from plant sugars. Combined with natural antioxidants for enhanced protection, RetiLife achieves a remarkably high concentration of pure retinol. It marks the first-of-its-kind sustainable substitute for synthetic retinol, delivering comparable anti-wrinkle efficacy. With its 100% natural-origin content, including sunflower oil as a carrier, RetiLife distinguishes itself by avoiding synthetic additives like BHT/BHA or polysorbate. Moreover, its molecular structure mirrors that of its chemical counterpart.
