According to the company's press release, Cellexora MD allows manufacturers to support deep skin regeneration and long-term vitality while meeting growing consumer demand for efficacy, transparency and sustainability. The plant-derived extracellular vesicles act as biological messengers that facilitate cell-to-cell communication. The ingredient uses targeted interactions with keratinocytes, fibroblasts and macrophages to address the root causes of skin aging and support multi-layer protection. "These plant-derived exosomes bring nature's biological intelligence into premium skincare," said Nathalie Chevrot, global skin care category director at Symrise. "Cellexora MD helps strengthen long-term skin health, vitality and biological function over time. It adds a powerful component to Symrise's line-up of premium cosmetic ingredients.

P-Hydroxyacetophenone (HAP) formulation guide. Mar 28, 2026 Leave a message A Comprehensive Analysis of Anti-inflammatory Mechanisms, Antiseptic Enhancement, and Brand Applications With the current strong growth of "Clean Beauty" and microbiome-based skincare, brands and OEM/ODM manufacturers are facing unprecedented formulation challenges. The emergence of p-hydroxyacetophenone provides a core foundation for building a modern "preservative-free system." I. In-depth academic exploration: the core mechanism of action of p-hydroxyacetophenone. In literature reviews and clinical trials, p-hydroxyacetophenone has demonstrated triple biological activity that surpasses that of a single preservative alternative: 1. (Preservative Boosting) p-Hydroxyacetophenone is not a legally recognized preservative in the regulations of many countries, but it has strong antibacterial potential. Its molecular structure can effectively act on the cell membrane of microorganisms, altering membrane permeability and transmembrane potential, causing bacterial cell contents to leak out. Formula Practice:When combined with diols such as 1,2-hexanediol, octyl glycol, or pentanediol, it produces a strong synergistic effect, supporting the broad-spectrum preservative ability of the entire formulation with very low addition levels (usually 0.1%-0.5%), especially showing excellent performance in antifungal activity. 2. (Inhibition of COX-2) Modern pharmacological studies have shown that p-hydroxyacetophenone can effectively inhibit the production of certain substances in the skin. Expression of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Academic verification:By inhibiting the COX-2 pathway, p-hydroxyacetophenone can block contact dermatitis and neurogenic inflammation caused by external stimuli (such as UV radiation and surfactant stimulation) at the source, rapidly reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and relieve stinging sensation. 3. Antioxidant and emerging melanin-inhibiting potential. In addition to its ability to scavenge ROS (reactive oxygen species), the latest cutting-edge ingredient research indicates that certain concentrations of p-hydroxyacetophenone show potential in inhibiting tyrosinase activity. This means that it may appear as a synergistic ingredient in skin-brightening formulas in the future, assisting in whitening and anti-photoaging. II. Analysis of supply chain structure and application by well-known brands. On the raw material supply side, the benchmark product for p-hydroxyacetophenone is SymSave(R) H, developed by Symrise, a global giant in fragrances and flavors. Since its introduction to the market in 2013, it has become the industry standard for balancing formulation protection and mildness. The "golden partnership" of terminal brands Repair and anti-allergy For example, Winona's star soothing serum and intensive care cream utilize HAP (Hydrocotic Angiotensin-Protective Agents) combined with purslane extract. HAP plays a crucial role in preservation and, as part of the soothing system, enhances redness reduction. It is also used in La Roche-Posay's simplified formula. Gentle and additive-free Facial mask liquid can easily trigger allergies to traditional preservatives. High-end facial masks on the market (such as some lines of Natural Beauty and Proya) mostly use a versatile and gentle base of "water + moisturizer + HAP + 1,2-hexanediol". extreme systems HAP maintains high stability within the extreme pH range of 2-11 without disrupting the emulsion system, and is widely used in high SPF sunscreens and premium shampoos that emphasize scalp microbiome. III. B2B R&D formulation guidance and compliance recommendations. If you are leading the development of a new product, here are some practical suggestions regarding the use of p-hydroxyacetophenone: * Dissolution process: p-Hydroxyacetophenone is in powder form. It is recommended to add it to a polyol phase (such as propylene glycol or butylene glycol) and heat to dissolve it, or add it to an aqueous phase heated to above 60°C and homogenize it thoroughly. Allow the system to cool down before proceeding with subsequent operations. * Odor masking: High-purity HAP has a faint almond-like odor. At a concentration of 0.5%, the effect is negligible, but for completely fragrance-free formulations, attention must be paid to managing the odor threshold between batches of raw materials. * Regulatory claims of advantages: Using this ingredient not only allows Makeupcatcher (jinhua) Cosmetics Co., Ltd. to successfully pass the EWG Green Safety Rating, but also aligns with CleanGredients' environmentally friendly and microbiome-friendly philosophy, providing strong storytelling and compliance endorsement.
Symrise AG reported record profitability for full year 2025, with organic sales growth of 2.8% and adjusted EBITDA margin increasing by 120 basis points. The German flavour and fragrance company achieved €3 billion in revenue for its Nutrition and Health segment and €1.9 billion for Scent and Care. The company delivered €50 million in efficiency gains, exceeding its €40 million target, and posted a record adjusted business free cash flow margin of 15.8%. Adjusted earnings per share rose 7.2% to €3.67. Symrise announced a €400 million share buyback programme and proposed increasing its dividend to €1.25 per share, marking 16 consecutive annual increases. However, the company expects a low single-digit decline in Q1 2026 organic sales due to challenging comparables and macroeconomic uncertainties.
Symrise launches digital CO2 tracker, champions Bioeconomy. Image courtesy of Symrise At the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC), during the TED Countdown session, Symrise unveiled Houston, a digital platform developed with CO2 AI that enables the real-time measurement and management of carbon footprints at product and corporate levels. With advanced analytics, seamless integration and transparent reporting tools, Houston is said to empower Symrise and its partners to prioritize decarbonization actions, ensure regulatory compliance and advance company-wide sustainability targets. Symrise's engagement at COP30 also extended to the BMZ/GIZ Combú Island dialogue. It joined a select group of stakeholders, including the German Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, to advance public-private dialogues between German and Brazil to foster economic development. "Its partnership with Symrise and Natura shows how inclusive business models work in practice - bringing indigenous and local products to market, raising and stabilizing incomes, and empowering the guardians of the Amazon Rainforest, said Reem Alabali Radovan, German federal minister for economic cooperation and development. In addition, prior to COP30, Symrise co-chaired the Sustainable Business Bioeconomy Working Group, collaborating with industry, government and civil society to connect climate goals with business innovation and social progress. Symrise shared best practices for scaling sustainable sourcing and circular technologies across the value chain, helping shape the global conversation on biodiversity and resource efficiency. "Launching the Houston platform marks a milestone in our decarbonization journey. CO2 AI's platform acts as enabler to accelerate our vision of one carbon accounting language serving both corporate and product purposes," said Isabella Tonaco, Ph.D., chief sustainability officer. "Our programs aim to unite climate action, biodiversity protection and social progress - so customers and communities thrive together," added Stephanie Cossmann, Ph.D., a member of the executive board for human resources (labor director), legal and sustainability.
Symrise's Chondractiv move shows clinical benefits for joint health in active women 40+. Symrise announces significant clinical study results within its portfolio of Health Active Solutions: Chondractiv Move, a four-in-one collagen-based solution for joint health and mobility has been clinically demonstrated to support menopausal women in their active lifestyle. It offers a natural, science-backed, and unique composition for brands seeking to formulate nutraceutical products supporting women's health and healthy aging. To address the rising market of menopausal women, and to strengthen its collagen range, Symrise has launched Chondractiv Move. It has now also conducted a proprietary clinical study that showed significant results. This four-in-one natural, and proven solution supports physical exercise and active lifestyles. Symrise introduced the solution earlier this year at the Vitafoods Europe tradeshow in Barcelona, Spain, and at SupplySide Global taking place in Las Vegas, United States. The innovative combination of hydrolyzed chicken cartilage and patented rosehip extract features collagen type II, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and polyphenols. It supports women aged 40+ looking for regular healthy joint maintenance and early prevention of joint discomfort. The solution is designed for food supplements and functional foods and beverages. Chondractiv Move demonstrated positive effects on the population the most impacted by activity-related joint discomfort/pain: women over 40. This group includes active women, working mothers, fitness beginners, those in sport recovery, and women in peri-menopausal transition. At the cellular level, Chondractiv Move acted on synovial cells by increasing components of cartilage and decreasing the levels of cartilage-degrading enzymes. Eight weeks of supplementation with a low daily dose of 1.58g of Chondractiv Move induced a significant decrease in pain related to physical activity in daily life. The earliest positive results were measured between the second and the third week of supplementation. According to Lionel Noah, PhD Healthy Aging Sr Scientific Expert at Symrise, "the four-in-one solution provides a sustainable effect on joint structure by modulating cartilage and bone microenvironment, with evidence supported by in vitro results. We could objectively describe the magnitude of this effect as 'large.' Several other parameters help to confirm the observed benefit of Chondractiv(TM) Move for joint comfort and function" he concludes.
