From our headquarters in France to our Global Innovation Center in Singapore and locations in every region of the globe, product development is always in motion at Sensient. We live and breathe innovation, turning industry trends and deep research into ingredients and formulations that help brands take exciting new cosmetics and personal care products to market. And with much of the buzz in the beauty world today centering on natural ingredients and sustainable practices, Sensient is uniquely positioned to deliver on what consumers want right now.
可持续发展
We all know sustainability is a key priority across all industries and one that has been accelerated by COVID-19. The pandemic-induced lockdowns have changed the way we live and work and consequently, our negative impact on the environment has declined. This is demonstrated by a drop in pollution levels and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as an increase in air and water quality. This change has been tangible for many, giving consumers a newfound appreciation of nature and a strong will to do more to protect it.
Another sustainable concept gaining traction is waterless beauty, which initially originated in South Korea as a way to increase product efficacy. Water is commonly used in cosmetics as a filler, however this reduces the product’s effectiveness meaning more must be consumed. Consequently, more packaging is required, which if not recycled, is either sent to landfill or discarded, potentially causing harm to wildlife. Take a look at some of our solid format hair care and color formulations here.
天然提取的成分
Demand for natural ingredients is also on the rise, particularly in Europe where a growing ageing population craves natural ingredients with active anti-ageing properties, and influential millennial and Gen Z consumers favour organic products.
聚焦护肤品
For several years, innovation in skincare has been fuelled by the rise of knowledgeable consumers, known as ‘skintellectuals’. The widespread lockdowns due to the pandemic have further propelled skincare into the limelight. According to research by Swedish beauty brand Foreo, 96% of consumers would rather invest in skincare instead of make-up during the pandemic, and almost 40% have been stockpiling their favourite skincare products for fear of further lockdowns. Consumers are more concerned about dermatology than ever before as lockdown living has caused changes in our diet, sleep, vitamin D intake, and stress, all of which can wreak havoc on skin health.

These extracts are both soluble in water as a dye and dispersible in oil as a pigment, making it a versatile ingredient. It can be used in skin care and makeup formulations as an active ingredient with color properties.
Natpure Col®
In hair care, Sensient’s Natpure Col® hair dyes are making waves by eliminating the notion that hair damage is an inherent tradeoff for coloring. Natpure Col® is 100% botanical. No ammonia. No peroxide. No preservatives. No damage. Just dried leaves from Henna, Cassia and Indigo, sourced sustainably and most importantly traceable. They are also carefully selected for consistent quality and ground to provide maximum color strength in four ready-to-use, long-lasting shades: light blonde, cold brown, warm brown, and dark brown.
Covabsorb®范围和Sensisorb® CF+
Fragrance and color are integral ingredients in a formulation, giving a product identity and appeal. Meanwhile, fragrances and colors are sensitive to oxidation from many sources. Perfumes in glass bottles are especially prone to fading (both color and fragrance). Our UV protectors, Covabsorb® and Sensisorb® CF+ provide superior protection for the sensory experience, thanks to their antioxidant properties.
