in-cosmetics Global 2023: Evonik highlights customer-centric, sustainable System Solutions  

Essen, Germany. Evonik, the preferred sustainable specialties partner for the personal care industry, is showcasing its latest innovations at the leading cosmetic tradeshow in-cosmetics Global in Barcelona, 28-30 March. Show highlights span the company’s powerful technology platforms with a focus on biotechnology and emphasize the use of renewable resources and sustainable processes.

As a provider of new active ingredient platforms and products, Evonik will present its extensive portfolio of existing and new ingredients designed for a wide range of applications in skin and hair care. Another innovation highlight is the company’s sustainable biosurfactants for personal care applications. Further noteworthy solutions include fermentation-based beauty and new developments in oxidation protection. The new Service Solutions unit that was launched last year and provides small and medium- sized companies with holistic support to realize their innovative personal care products, will also be featured at the show.

“When we innovate, we always put the customer at the center. Our customers are demanding more sustainable, high-performing solutions, and we are delighted to present these during this year’s in-cosmetics Global,” said Yann d'Hervé, head of Evonik's Care Solutions business line.

Guided by a Vision that puts sustainability, innovation and collaboration at its core, the Care Solutions business plays a critical role in the continued portfolio shift of Evonik’s life sciences division, Nutrition & Care, to System Solutions. These are multi-component offerings across products, technologies and services that are tailored to a unique customer need and often have proven sustainability benefits. The Nutrition & Care division aims to increase its share of System Solutions from 20 percent today to more than 50 percent by 2030.
