Induchem comes out on top
at in-cosmetics
in-cosmetics, 16-18 April, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
Induchem was praised by the industry for its new ingredient Neodermyl® last night,
with the product scooping Gold in the in-cosmetics Innovation Zone Best Ingredient
Award. Dr Karl Lintner was announced as the winner of in-cosmetics Lifetime
Achievement award and Cosmetics & Toiletries Magazine also presented their R&D
Awards.
Neodermyl® is a pure source of bio-renewable energy that reactivates collagens and
elastin synthesis in the skin to reenergise senescent fibroblasts by supplying them
with an activated source of cellular energy. This results in a fast and sustainable
production of Collagen III, Collagen I, Tropoelastin and Elastin, which lead to visible
improvement of skin texture and reduction of wrinkle depth in two weeks. In just two
weeks Neodermyl® gives equivalent results to one needle injection of collagen by a
plastic surgeon (-15% wrinkle depth reduction).
The judges applauded Induchem for its scientific innovation in the development of
Neodermyl®, the use of green chemistry and the demonstrated efficacy of the
ingredient that offers real benefits in formulation.
Celebrating the award, Fabrice Lefèvre, R&D and Marketing Director, Induchem said:
“Our R&D and marketing teams have worked incredibly hard to create Neodermyl®, a
product we’re extremely proud of. The other finalists this year all had fantastic
products, so to have been recognised with this prestigious award is a real honour.
2013 has so far been a very productive year for us and we look forward to the future.”
Now in its third year, The Innovation Zone Best Ingredient Award recognises the
development of a novel active or functional ingredient that demonstrates newly
welcomed benefits to manufacturers and end-users.
Exhibitors and visitors congregated at the Marketing Trends Theatre for the winners’
announcement. Silver prize went to Symrise with SymHair® Force 1631, a natural
anti-hair loss active from a sustainable source of Microalgae that fortifies hair whilst
improving density. The judges were especially impressed with the ingredient’s proven
ability to increase hair shaft elongation by up to 13%.
BiotechMarine was awarded bronze for its new anti-dandruff ingredient, ESCULANE®
– a natural active ingredient of marine origin – and was recognised for its important
work into the condition that, despite regularly being studied by scientists all over the
world, is yet to be fully understood.
Lucy Gillam, Event Director, in-cosmetics, said of the awards: “The quality and
innovation on show by this year’s finalists made it a challenge to decide upon an
overall winner. We’d like to congratulate everyone who entered this year and very
much look forward to seeing all of the ingredients going from strength to strength in
the future.”
