Key takeaways
- Elementis will unveil three multifunctional ingredients targeting sun care, skin care, and color cosmetics.
- The company will highlight innovation through immersive experience zones and live formulation demos.

Elementis Personal Care is set to unveil a lineup of new ingredients and experience zones, while presenting Alchemy Ingredients as part of its portfolio for the first time globally at In-cosmetics Global 2026 (14–16 April) in Paris, France.
The ingredients set to launch at the tradeshow include three technologies tailored for sun care, skin care, color cosmetics, and hybrid beauty formulations.
New ingredients
One of the ingredient launches, Naturaluxe MFF, is a naturally sourced biodegradable film-forming ingredient. The solution is designed to provide water and wear resistance, elevated SPF preservation, ethanol compatibility, enhanced pigment dispersion, and improved sensoriality.
The second ingredient, Bentone Luxe DM, is a D5-free, stabilizing, and emulsifying gel. It is developed for water-in-oil and water-in-silicone formulations. The gel aims to deliver stability, desirable sensoriality, and enhanced pigments in cold-processable, emulsifier-free applications.
Lastly, Elementis will showcase Bentone Ultimate CCC, a naturally sourced rheology modifier that aims to provide formulation stability, pigment suspension, and versatile applications.
Experience zones
Experience zones demonstrate the performance of Elementis innovations.
The on-site immersive experiences Elementis will offer at In-cosmetics 2026 are set to feature products powered by its three new ingredients.
Elementis’ Makeup Bar will present Colour Concepts for Spring/Summer 2027. The bar features Electric Fuchsia Lip Cream powered by Bentone Luxe DM and Pop Pink Liquid Blush powered by Bentone Ultimate CCC.
A Sensory Bar presenting the Bright Boost Eye Serum and Ultimate Hydration Mask formulated with Bentone Ultimate CCC will also demonstrate the ingredient’s textural and stability capabilities.
In the Innovation Zone, the company will present the Peach Eye Correcting Concealer powered by Naturaluxe MFF.
Finally, the Formulation Lab is planned to feature a live demonstration with Rita Figueiredo, global personal care technical service manager, showcasing a cold-press tinted sun care product powered by Bentone Ultimate CCC.
Alchemy Ingredients
Elementis will also officially introduce the rheology modifier ingredients company, Alchemy Ingredients, as part of its structure, at In-cosmetics Global 2026. The acquisition expands the ingredients company’s natural technology offerings by adding Alchemy Ingredients’ Sucragel, Sapogel, Clearthix, and Sclerothix systems.
Elementis previously acquired Alchemy Ingredients on a cash-free, debt-free basis as part of the company’s strategy to accelerate its sustainable, long-term growth and to gain a stronger market position in the expanding natural cosmetics sector.
“The business opens exciting opportunities to expand our skin care portfolio, where the trend toward natural ingredients and enhanced sensory benefits continues to accelerate. Leveraging our global sales and marketing footprint, we see significant potential to scale the business and deliver value,” said Luc van Ravenstein, CEO of Elementis at the time of the acquisition.
