Azelis, the reference innovation service provider in the speciality chemicals and food ingredients industry, is proud to announce that the EMEA Personal Care team won the Gold award in the Sensory Bar category of in-cosmetics Global 2025. The team secured the prize with their innovative formulations, Comfort Rescue Balm and Hydra Caviar Serum, two of the sixteen formulations showcased under the innovative concept Beauty Boost.
- With the award-winning formulations, customers stay ahead of evolving beauty trends by offering solutions based on natural products that offer unique sensory experiences.
- Principals see their ingredients’ potential unfold with new applications that appeal to the newest trends in personal care.
- The award is a testament to the team’s in-depth ingredient knowledge, entrepreneurial mindset and commitment to developing innovative and sustainable formulations that move markets forward.
Comfort Rescue Balm is a deeply nourishing, protective formula designed to shield skin from harsh winter conditions while delivering long-lasting hydration. Unlike traditional slugging, which can feel overly greasy, this balm offers slow moisture release without an oily after-feel, making it more aesthetically pleasing. The formulation overcomes the challenge of stabilising natural oils to create a unique, cascading texture. With 95% natural origin ingredients and cold-process development, this balm provides the perfect balance of nourishment, protection, and sensory elegance.
Hydra Caviar Serum is a fun, innovative skin care solution designed for on-the-go hydration. This single-dose, thermo-reversible formula melts into the skin, delivering an instant moisture boost with a fresh and silky feel. It is ideal for daily skin care routines or a quick refresh whenever the skin feels dehydrated. Perfect for busy lifestyles and travel, these serum pearls offer a mess-free, portable skin care solution.
The awarded formulations are two of sixteen novel formulations being showcased at in-cosmetics Global 2025, on 8-10 April in Amsterdam, at stand 5D70. Under its visionary Beauty Boost concept, Azelis’s Personal Care team introduces ready-to-use, versatile formulations designed to enhance efficiency, scalability and sustainability in Personal Care, testifying to its leadership in the industry. Through advanced solutions, high-quality ingredients, and unique textures, Azelis enables beauty brands to accelerate innovation while maintaining superior product performance and conscious development.
