Givaudan Active Beauty is delighted to announce that its three newest active ingredients, Agefinity™, Sensityl™ and Darkenyl™ have won five innovation prizes last week in Paris.

 

Laurent Bourdeau, Head of Active Beauty, said: “It is a real pleasure to receive the recognition of the entire beauty industry. The whole Givaudan Active Beauty team works with passion to develop innovative actives. Being awarded five times this year is truly outstanding.”

 

Two awards for hair repigmentation
Darkenyl™ was awarded as winner for “Best Hair C are Ingredient” at the Beauty Industry Awards and as “Bronze Active Ingredient” at the Innovation Zone Best Ingredient at in-cosmetics Global in Paris. Darkenyl™ is an exclusive hair care molecule reactivating the entire pigmentation process in the hair follicle to get rid of grey hair, down to -56% in 4 months (clinically tested versus placebo).

 

 

Two innovation prizes for sensitive skin and mood uplifting
Sensityl™ was awarded as winner for “Best Skin Care Ingredient” at the Beauty Industry Awards and as 2nd prize in the category “Most Innovative Raw Material Natural Products” at the BSB Award. Sensityl™ is an active cosmetic ingredient that fuses nature and scientific expertise to offer consumers’ dual benefits on beauty and well-being.

 

 

An award for clean and natural anti-ageing
Agefinity™ is a revolutionary cosmetic active rejuvenating the Y-zone – the face and neck area – developed with natural ingredients and pioneering biotechnology to energise and reshape skin cells. Agefinity™ had also its moment of glory by winning the first prize at BSB Innovation award in the category of “Cosmetics/Ingredients/Actives/Anti-ageing”.
