Syensqo is spotlighting a new era of responsible beauty at in-cosmetics Global 2026, introducing a suite of innovative ingredients designed to combine high performance with sustainability. Expanding its portfolio into scalp care for the first time, the company is leveraging advanced formulation science, natural actives, and artificial intelligence to give brands tools that meet evolving consumer expectations for efficacy and eco-consciousness.
“Beauty innovation today requires more than new ingredients. It demands smarter science and more responsible design,” said Jean-Guy Le Helloco, VP of consumer care at Syensqo. “By extending our hair and skin science expertise into areas such as scalp care, and by harnessing natural ingredients and artificial intelligence, Syensqo continues to enable brands to deliver high-performance solutions that keep pace with evolving consumer expectations.”
Among the highlights is Cerafy Clear NP Boost, a ceramide-loaded liposome delivery system engineered for deep moisturization, anti-wrinkle benefits and enhanced skin repair. Ideal for clear, water-based formulations, it works seamlessly in both rinse-off and leave-on products, providing formulators with a versatile tool for boosting skin barrier health.
For plant-based and sustainable alternatives, Dermalcare Velvet offers a natural substitute for lanolin with film-forming technology that enhances hydration, water resistance, SPF performance, and color cosmetics stability—all while delivering a soft, velvety feel. Meanwhile, Polycare Split Therapy SGI, derived from Syensqo’s Sustainable Guar Initiative, seals up to 90% of split ends after a single use, offering long-lasting hair repair and smoothness, even in chemically treated hair.
Eco-conscious innovations are also taking center stage in Syensqo’s Sustainability Zone. Naternal Care XTRA, a biodegradable conditioning polymer powered by fenugreek, delivers build-up-free conditioning for highly damaged hair in both wet and dry states. Miracare OPR 2, a biobased and biodegradable opacifier, replaces synthetic alternatives while imparting a bright, creamy appearance for visually appealing formulations.
