BASF and B2B Cosmetics have established an exclusive, long-term strategic partnership in the field of personalised personal care products, including a strategic investment into B2B Cosmetics by BASF.
The French company B2B Cosmetics will contribute a unique personalisation system, marketed under the name Emuage technology. BASF will bring in expertise in personal care solutions.
Individualisation of personal care products is a global key trend. To meet this growing need, a combination of interdisciplinary know-how is required. Together, BASF and B2B Cosmetics will build upon their respective expertise to offer this inventive technology to the market.
The Emuage technology allows users to create their own individualised personal care products by simply choosing capsules, placing them into the machine and receiving the final product – for example for hair, sun or skin care.
Recently, B2B Cosmetics received the “Innovation Award” at the trade show Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas for their Emuage technology for the second consecutive year.
B2B Cosmetics and BASF aim to introduce the technology to the market in 2019 in a phased approach around the world.
