Evonik presented its latest innovations at the leading cosmetic tradeshow in-cosmetics global in Paris, 16-18 April, 2024. At this year’s show, Evonik focussed on its growing portfolio of biosolutions, including its sustainable biosurfactants and biotech actives. 

By expanding its range of biosolutions, Evonik is leveraging its biotechnology platform, which is part of the company’s life sciences division Nutrition & Care. The division uses biotechnology to create high-value system solutions that are driving Evonik’s transformation to become the preferred specialties partner to the cosmetics and personal care industry.

“Our vision is driven by sustainability, inspired by innovation and defined by collaboration! With so many new innovations to present at this year’s show, I can truly say that we are living this vision,” said Johann-Caspar Gammelin, president of Evonik’s Nutrition & Care division.

“We are committed to becoming the leading sustainable specialties partner to our industries, and we are energetically pursuing this goal through acquisitions, innovation, sustainability and service. I invite our customers and prospects to come and talk to us and find out how we can work together!” said Yann d'Hervé, head of Evonik's Care Solutions business line.

Earlier this year, Evonik manufactured the first products from its new biosurfactants plant – the first in the world to produce rhamnolipids on an industrial scale. The official opening of this plant is planned for May 2024. Evonik’s biosurfactants are recognized for their exceptional sustainability credentials without compromising on performance and are already marketed in the personal care industry.
