Clariant has returned to the leading personal care ingredient and formulation show in Asia – in-cosmetics Asia, this year with a strong line-up of high-performance ingredients boosted by the recent acquisition of leading high-value ingredient provider Lucas Meyer Cosmetics.

Newly launched at the exhibition are Clariant’s Hostacerin CCT, Eclipsogen CAP series with Nanocon, their patented encapsulation technology and Genadvance Series, in addition to Pickmulse, Corneopeptyl and CycloRetin from Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant. Together they demonstrate how the minimalist beauty concept is perfectly executed with the highest degree of simplicity thanks to breakthrough innovation and years of formulation expertise.

Under the latest minimalist beauty trend, more and more consumers have their eyes set on fewer high-quality products that can help them achieve the desired results on their skins through simplified skincare routines while maintaining maximized efficacy.

With this less-is-more concept of beauty quickly gaining momentum, innovative ingredients that focus on enhanced performance and consistency with maximum effectiveness will undoubtedly be able to generate more demand from the market and this is exactly what Clariant is showcasing at the in-cosmetics show.

“At the in-cosmetics Asia show, visitors will be able to get first-hand knowledge about how our highlighted ingredients are designed to meet the everyday skincare needs with the complexity element taken out of the beauty equation - meaning that personal care products are there to perform with simplicity but without a compromise on performance,” says Vipul Bhatt, Head of Personal & Home Care Asia Pacific.

Clariant’s already rich lineup of innovative ingredients just got a huge boost through its acquisition of leading high-value ingredient provider Lucas Meyer Cosmetics earlier this year. Its Pickmulse emulsifier will be launched during in-cosmetics Asia. Based on Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant’s breakthrough patented quinoa starch technology, this next-generation 2-in-1 surfactant-free emulsifier enhances the sensory attributes of formulations, while allowing for customizable encapsulation systems. Pickmulse will also be featured at the show’s Innovation Zone, together with two other award-winning ingredients: Corneopeptyl and CycloRetin.
