BASF at events
BASF recently presented its findings on holistic microbiome science, bacteria’s role in skin aging, and retinol delivery systems at the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists Congress.
The researchers found that Corynebacteria impact skin health and aging. According to their studies, the bacteria’s distribution across the skin changes according to the skin’s age and sensitivity.
At In-cosmetics Global 2025 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Personal Care Insights spoke with BASF’s Dr. Natalia Chudinova, market development manager of Polymers, EMEA. On the show floor, she told us about the company’s natural styling polymer, a wax-based opacifier, and a sustainably sourced betaine for hair care ingredients to perform in formulations.
Chudinova explained that the three ingredients were designed to replace traditional, often synthetic materials commonly used in hair styling, cleansing, and visual enhancement of formulations. They also address the growing consumer demand for biodegradable, ethically sourced, high-performing beauty products.
