dsm-firmenich unveils its Dream-led Science at in-cosmetics Global 2026

Translating scientific ingenuity into real-world, elevated beauty solutions.

The beauty industry is evolving at unprecedented speed, shaped by consumers who expect more than product performance alone. Today’s beauty solutions must reflect modern lifestyles, support long-term skin and hair health, and deliver both functional efficacy and emotional value. This shift is redefining how brands innovate—and placing science at the heart of meaningful progress.

At in-cosmetics Global 2026 in Paris, dsm-firmenich brings this transformation to life through its Dream-led Science approach, showcasing how visionary thinking and scientific excellence converge to create elevated, real-world beauty solutions.

“Our solutions reflect a deep understanding of evolving consumer needs and expectations,” said Parand Salmassinia, President of Beauty & Care at dsm-firmenich. “By combining future-forward thinking with our scientific expertise, we dare to dream big and push the boundaries of science—supporting our customers’ brands with innovative, pioneering, and award-winning beauty solutions that resonate with consumers in real life.”

This vision is expressed through a portfolio of innovations spanning next-generation exosomes and HMO biotechnology for skin regeneration, climate-adaptive care, a new era of sun protection, and elevated biotech solutions for hair care. Together, these innovations demonstrate how dsm-firmenich translates scientific ingenuity into tangible, high-impact beauty experiences.

EXOVIVE™ LIFT introduces a next-generation, eco-conscious, plant-derived exosome innovation designed to speak the skin’s native language—helping nurture, reprogram, and restore skin vitality. ALPAFLOR® NEUROSOOTH advances heat-adaptive skincare through neurocosmetics, supporting emotional wellbeing by helping interrupt the skin–mind stress loop. GLYCARE™ SK, recently recognized with a prestigious scientific award in China, showcases the potential of HMOs biotechnology to activate skin’s natural regeneration processes, strengthen the skin barrier, and calm inflammation.

In sun care, SUNNY SKIN MICROBIOME 2.0 reflects evolving daily SPF habits with a microbiome-friendly approach that helps maintain balance and keep C. acnes in check for a clearer-looking complexion. In hair care, BOND AID with OXY 229 CB represents a breakthrough biotech solution designed to restore hair integrity and support scalp vitality.

“Our role is to deliver on our elevated science promise by translating cutting-edge research into tangible beauty solutions,” said Hendrik Reuter, VP Global R&D & Innovation, Beauty & Care at dsm-firmenich. “From pioneering work in exosomes to award-winning technologies such as GLYCARE™, our innovations are designed to turn advanced science into visible, measurable results.”

Sustainability is at the core of dsm-firmenich’s Beauty & Care business purpose. Guided by ambitious targets and supported by robust impact-measurement tools, the company enables the development of high-performing solutions aligned with the expectations of today’s conscious consumers—creating positive impact for people and planet, now and for generations to come.
