The skin and hair exposome is the totality of exposures to which an individual is subjected throughout their life, including from the sun, pollution and climate change, as well as chemical and physical manipulation from skin and hair care routines. These factors, combined with the body’s response to each, can lead to premature signs of aging. 

The cosmetics industry produces large amounts of waste every year and is striving to find "no-waste" solutions. That’s why IMCD Beauty & Personal Care offers upcycling concepts, natural ingredients, and sustainable packaging. Using these special upcycling technologies, we turn seemingly useless by-products or waste from the food industry into new high-quality cosmetic products. Natural oils and butter, for example, are obtained from press residues or fruit pits. Moisturising lecithin is also extracted from soybean residues, making it a high-tech emulsifier.

For time immemorial, the stars have fascinated humankind. Tracking their movements and tracing shapes has provided meaning for humans seeking refuge from uncertainty. In the context of recent events, it’s no wonder that astrology is experiencing a resurgence, particularly among younger generations; it gives us a sense of direction in the face of chaos or a comforting framework for the behaviors of others.

NovoRetin™ is able to increase the amount of naturally occurring retinoic acid in the skin, which leads to retinol-like effects. Retinol is well-known for its strong anti-aging effects and the benefits it offers for acne-prone skin. Retinoic acid, which is the major active metabolite of retinol, is responsible for these retinol effects in the skin. NovoRetin™ can inhibit the activity of CYP26 enzymes that degrade retinoic acid in the skin. Thereby, NovoRetin™ can retain naturally occurring retinoic acid levels in the skin, which leads to retinol-like effects without the need to apply retinoids topically on the skin.
