PrimalHyal™ Ultrafiller, a cosmetic alternative to dermal fillers Scientists have developed a new sustainable hyaluronic acid derivative to protect and rejuvenate the skin The majority of aesthetic dermal fillers is based on hyaluronic acid (HA) and requires local injections with possible complications. Despite their cost, these fillers cannot restore skin’s natural protection. Givaudan Active Beauty has developed PrimalHyal™ Ultrafiller, a new topical HA acting like an aesthetic filler by penetrating deeply into the skin and filling wrinkles, while stimulating the skin’s anti-pollution defences. Four clinical tests have demonstrated the consumers’ benefits of PrimalHyal™ Ultrafiller. With a single application, it fills small wrinkles (-8.7%) in 60 minutes, with further improvement in 6 hours. After 1 to 2 months it re-
duces nasogenian wrinkles (-13%) and improves skin texture for 77% of the volunteers. Meanwhile, it reactivates the metabolism of aged skin cells to restore the anti-oxidant skin defences against daily UV rays and pollution. It also boosts skin antioxidant capacities up to +34%. Romain Reynaud, R&D Director, says “Our scientific team of skin biology experts have leveraged our leading expertise in hyaluronic acid (HA) to create this new fully acetylated HA. Developed in our Science & Technology Centre of Excellence, PrimalHyal™ Ultrafiller goes beyond the current HA-based active ingredients already existing in our industry today. >>

Givaudan sets a new dawn for selftanning with Vegetan Evolve Givaudan Active Beauty introduces Vegetan® Evolve, the latest variation in the Vegetan® range In a market worth EUR 467.4M, with Western Europe and North America accounting for 80% of sales, selftanning harbours many opportunities. Perception of self-tanning is positive and driven by social influences. 38% of UK self-tanning users say being impressed by someone's self-tan would encourage them to use a self-tan product. 28% of US consumers get spray tans, suggesting a desire for immediate results. Social media doesn’t make an exception, with the #selftan and #selftanner hashtags being on the rise on Instagram. 58% of US female beauty buyers say they get encouraged to buy a certain sunless product they see on social media posts.
more natural-looking and Instagramfriendly results, it is time to aim even higher. Vegetan® Evolve takes its origin in white biotechnology, already mastered by Givaudan Active Beauty for the production of the Vegetan® range (DHA). Born in a unique biorefinery platform near Reims, France, where circular economy is at the heart of business, Vegetan® Evolve enjoys a highly sustainable manufacturing process.
tanning effect within hours, built to last. Thanks to a more controlled reaction with the skin, Vegetan® Evolve is ideal in association with DHA. It is an ally of choice to obtain the results consumers are looking for: long-lastingness, natural aspect, sun-kissed appearance and skin gentleness. Scientific studies by Givaudan demonstrated that Vegetan® Evolve results in a long-lasting and darker tan colour as well as in a more natural colour for the skin tan.
Vegetan® Evolve is based on erythrulose, which possesses the same properties as DHA, the reference molecule for self-tanning. It triggers the Maillard reaction and leads to the production of brown compounds, the melanoidins. These pigments, linked to the proteins of the skin, provide a

Reverse hair ageing with Darkenyl™, an advanced hair pigmentation recovery Givaudan Active Beauty presents Darkenyl™, a new revolutionary hair repigmenting active ingredient inspired from the latest stem cell research Hair ageing is a concern world-wide, representing a major potential for the beauty industry: 59% of consumers on average are worried about hair ageing and over 60% of them are currently bothered by hair colour loss.(1) If genes can play a large role in hair whitening, it is now well-known that free radicals are directly inducing the premature greying of hair for both men and women. Most of the existing hair pigmentation solutions are based on hair colorants, artificially repigmenting the hair shaft but not addressing the origins of hair whitening. Givaudan’s skin experts have designed Darkenyl™ to counteract the hair whitening biological process, by combining two synergistic molecules: the taxifolin glucoside, a unique stabilised plant polyphenol, and Nacetyl-tyrosine, a soluble precursor of melanin synthesis. Darkenyl™ boosts hair stem cells’ proliferation (+30%) and migration to help the hair matrix with new melanocytes. Its antioxidant properties enable the reduction of free radical damage in hair follicles (-53%) and also help to protect existing melano-
cytes (+189%). Once the hair matrix has been repopulated with new melanocytes and both new and existing melanocytes are protected from ROS, Darkenyl™ delivers its melanin synthesis precursor to reactivate melanogenesis (+364%). A clinical study versus placebo using white hair proportion scoring on hairlines and white hair density quantifying on a shaved scalp area have demonstrated the significant consumers’ benefits of Darkenyl™: in 4 months, volunteers had more than 3 times less white hair/cm2, with up to 56% reduction of white hair. The unique action of Darkenyl™ is patent-pending, gender independent and can be used on any hair type or colour. It shows progressive and longlasting results. Amandine Scandolera, Head of Biological Evaluation, says: “The knowledge of the different mechanisms involved in the development of canities is increasingly consolidated to demonstrate the key role of the scalp oxidation, which was, up to now, less considered in the scientific strategies implementation. With the develop3
ment of Darkenyl™, we offer an effective solution through the reactivation of the main altered mechanisms at the origin of canities such as reduction of oxidation, reactivation of melanocytes stem cells and increasing of melanogenesis. Having white hair is definitely not an irreversible phenomenon anymore!” To inspire the beauty industry while showcasing the high potential of this new ageless hair technology, Givaudan formulation experts have crafted S3D® Colourback, a repigmenting and conditioning serum to beautify and rejuvenate the hair. S3D® Colourback features Darkenyl™ and ResistHyal®, which is the ultimate hair beauty enhancer (optimised hyaluronic acid), this product quickly penetrates into the scalp and spreads on the hair while activating the repigmentation process and protecting the hair follicles. With its innovative comb, S3D® Colourback enables a precise and effective application, directly on the roots. Givaudan Active Beauty Hair Ageing G-Source global study 2018 (1)

Functionalities such as emolliency, perfuming, skin conditioning and solvency can be chosen by selecting the right ester type for the personal care formulations. In addition to these functionalities, KLK Oleo ester range also provides pigment dispersion, skin conditioning and solubilising effects. KLK Oleo supplies a wide range of esters to the personal care market under the Palmester® tradename.

However, due to the difference in chain length of the esters, the skin feel will vary depending on the emollient selection. Further to the ester range for personal care products, KLK Oleo offers a number of Isostearate esters. These esters are derived from Isostearic acid,
which is a fully saturated, branched fatty acid, providing excellent heat and odour stability. Isostearate esters offer excellent low temperature properties and exhibit good oxidative stability.

Vetivyne™, a new cosmetic active offering powerful beauty benefits Upcycled vetiver roots from fragrance raw materials were used to create a fully natural and sustainable ingredient Givaudan Active Beauty combined the world of fragrances and cosmetics to create Vetivyne™, a new patent-pending powerful active ingredient with both anti-ageing benefits and long lasting properties to enhance fragrance wear. Scientists and sustainability experts at Givaudan discovered Vetivyne™ by using water-soluble extract from exhausted Haitian vetiver roots, a by-product of the extraction procedure used to produce vetiver oil for fragrances. The cosmetic active Givaudan created via this cuttingedge process is fully natural, concen-
trated, odour-free and offers clinically proven skin benefits. By acting on the skin lipids, Vetivyne™ helps enhance skin hydration and suppleness as well as removing wrinkles. Vetivyne™ also nicely bridges the cosmetics and fragrances worlds as it boosts the long lastingness of fragrances that are applied by the user. This is the first time the fragrance and cosmetic worlds have shared the same sustainable and ethical origin. This ground-breaking ‘upcycling’ approach reduces waste and minimises Givaudan Active Beauty’s environmental impact, in line with their com-
mitment to sustainability and consumers’ demand for products that are both highly effective and produced in a responsible way. Over the years, the company has been actively supporting a local cooperative of vetiver roots producers through their Sourcing for Shared Value programme in Haiti. The vetiver roots are certified ECOCERT (ESR), an organic and fair trade standard. This initiative ensures the social and environmental responsibility of vetiver production, enabling perfumers and formulators to craft the most inspiring products from responsibly-sourced vetiver.
