2019: a second innovative carotenoid from DEINOVE
- This new carotenoid has the particularity of absorbing blue
light, which is responsible for premature skin ageing, the
appearance of skin spots, a loss of radiance and vitality.
- Asia now represents 40% of the world cosmetics market and
In-Cosmetics Asia is the leading regional trade fair for cosmetic
ingredients.
- DEINOVE is accelerating the expansion of its portfolio of
cosmetic ingredients.
DEINOVE (Euronext Growth Paris: ALDEI), a French
biotech company that uses a disruptive approach to develop
innovative antibiotics and bio-based active ingredients for
cosmetics and nutrition, announces that its second novel
carotenoid for cosmetics will be presented in preview at the
In-Cosmetics Asia exhibition to be held from 5 to 7 November 2019
in Bangkok. The global launch is scheduled for In-Cosmetics Global
2020 from March 31 to April 2 in Barcelona.
Essentially known for its ability to absorb blue
light1, this carotenoid was previously inaccessible. Now available
thanks to the research work carried out within the DEINOVE
platform, a complete screening of its properties has been conducted
on the basis of the most recent evaluation protocols. The excellent
results obtained, and in particular its superiority over reference
active ingredients, suggest an active ingredient that meets many
skin needs.
In-Cosmetics Asia is the largest trade fair
dedicated to cosmetic ingredients in the region. Asia represents
about 40% of the world cosmetics market and contributes to 60% of
its growth, whose most dynamic segment is skincare2.
"This event is an opportunity to initiate the
marketing of this new active ingredient, given both its excellent
performances and the potential of the Asian market. However, the
official commercial launch is scheduled for In-Cosmetics Global in
Barcelona in April 2020. Other active ingredients are under
development to rapidly expand our product portfolio," says
Coralie MARTIN, Marketing Manager at DEINOVE.

1 Blue light is emitted not only by the sun, but
also by screens (TV, computers, smartphones, tablets), electronics
and lighting. This light radiation is known for its harmful effects
on the health and beauty of the skin (premature ageing, appearance
of skin spots, loss of radiance and vitality...). Digital pollution
is an emerging issue in cosmetics, given the increasing exposure to
blue light produced by screens or LEDs.
