Azelis, an innovation service provider in the specialty chemicals and food ingredients industry, is proud to announce it has won the Gold award in the hair care category at in-cosmetics Asia 2023 in Thailand. The winning formulation is “Detox Butter Scalp Mask,” a seven-in-one solution for healthy hair and scalp with a thick and buttery texture for easy application.

The winning formulation is part of Azelis’ Zestful Beauty campaign, a set of 31 formulations designed to be memorable through outstanding performance, delightful sensory profiles, and a responsible ingredient selection. Azelis’ “Detox Scalp Butter Mask” offers solutions in line with the latest market trends and is backed by strong scientific claims:

• Balances the scalp microbiome (resets and 'detoxes' the microbiome by 36%). 
• Balances the scalp pH to 5.5. 
• Protects the scalp barrier against environmental stressors.  
• Offers anti-inflammatory properties (soothes the scalp and reduces itchiness/flaking).  
• Reduces excess sebum by 78%. 
• Restores hair vitality.
• Repels odor from hair so it smells better for longer.

Organized by in-cosmetics, the Spotlight On competition is open to all exhibitors, and the winners are determined by an elite panel of judges with deep, independent knowledge of the personal care industry.
