Laboratoire PYC discusses nutricosmetics targeting modern wellness

Laboratoire PYC, a French contract manufacturer specializing in supplements and nutritional products, is taking a new strategic step into the beauty-from-within market. The company has unveiled three collagen-based solutions designed to fit into everyday wellness routines and deliver targeted benefits for wellness and skin beauty.

Aurélie De Schuyteneer, marketing and communications manager at Laboratoire PYC, speaks to Personal Care Insights about the company’s evolution in the nutricosmetics market and the broader beauty-from-within trends shaping the industry.

“Our role is to help brands create meaningful, sensorial, and scientifically robust products, fully aligned with European market expectations and regulations,” says De Schuyteneer.

The company says its innovations, available as orodispersible powder, sparkling functional drink, and tea drinks, reflect scientific rigor, ease of use, and a strong focus on taste quality.

The three solutions are: Revolistic Collagen, Collagen Pink Lemonade, and Collagen Skinfuse. 

This first orodispersible collagen powder — Revolistic Collagen — dissolves directly in the mouth without the need for water. Available in blackcurrant, vanilla, strawberry, apricot, or pear flavors, the formula contains 45% bioactive peptides. It claims to offer up to four times the concentration of standard collagen products. Emboldened with bioavailable dipeptides and tripeptides, Revolistic Collagen aims to deliver a fast, practical, and sensorial experience, aligned for on-the-go lifestyles.

Collagen Pink Lemonade is a refreshing sparkling drink with a pink lemonade flavor. The formula provides 15 g of French collagen while remaining low in sugar and fat. The collagen peptides used in the formulation have been clinically studied for their role in supporting skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and strengthening hair.

Collagen Skinfuse is an integrated beauty-from-within approach that supports both skin benefits and overall well-being.Collagen Skinfuse is an innovative range of collagen-infused powdered tea and infusion drinks designed to reinvent supplementation through sensory beauty rituals. Available in six flavors — mint green tea, jasmine green tea, vanilla black tea, spiced black tea, matcha, and chamomile infusion — it offers an accessible way to incorporate collagen into everyday life. 

Holistic beauty approaches 

Laboratoire PYC predicts a strong and lasting shift towards beauty-from-within solutions in Europe, particularly collagen peptide-based products that combine efficacy and daily use. 

“Laboratoire PYC supprts brands looking to grow and differentiate themselves in this sector by offering tailored formulations, production, and private-label packaging. We develop products with a distinctive sensory signature that enhances the user experience and encourages long-term loyalty,” says De Schuyteneer.

She believes the beauty market is undergoing “a profound transformation” toward holistic approaches that incorporate physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors. Perceptions around skin care are moving from purely cosmetic to a reflection of overall health.

Pillars of modern beauty 

According to Laboratoire PYC, emotional well-being, stress management, and sleep quality have become essential pillars of modern beauty. 

“The emergence of neurocosmetics — a field exploring the connection between the nervous system and skin physiology — further illustrates this convergence between mental balance and skin appearance,” says De Schuyteneer. 

De Schuyteneer emphasizes the critical role of sensoriality in the product’s success, particularly in categories that bridge wellness and everyday consumption. “Taste, texture, ease of use, and format strongly influence repeat purchase and brand loyalty.”

At the same time, format innovation is shaping the collagen market. De Schuyteneer tells us recent product launches are distributed across powders (19%), gummies (18%), liquids (14%), capsules (13%), tablets (12%), and alternative formats such as gels and coffee-based applications (24%).

“This diversity highlights the importance of convenience and sensory appeal in meeting evolving consumer expectations,” she says. “Together, these trends demonstrate that beyond functional benefits, sensory experience and format accessibility are key drivers of adoption and long-term success.”

Meeting evolving needs 

Laboratoire PYC observes that the European market is experiencing increasing demand for clean label formulations and pleasure-driven products. In line with this, the company aims to meet suchRevolistic Collagen is “the first” orodispersible collagen powder that dissolves directly in the mouth, without water. needs. 

“At Laboratoire PYC, we combine regulatory rigor, formulation expertise, and sensory excellence. We particularly focus on the careful selection of raw materials, prioritizing high-quality ingredients and favoring traceable, responsibly sourced materials whenever possible,” says De Schuyteneer.

“Our formulation expertise is aligned with clean label principles. Our R&D team works to reduce controversial ingredients and develop formulations that are transparent and compliant with European regulations.”

Additionally, De Schuyteneer says the company keeps a continuous eye on regulatory developments to ensure its products remain up to date with safety and compliance standards.

Beyond sound regulatory practice and formulation safety, the company underscores the importance of texture, flavors, colors, mouthfeel, and user experience to deliver products that are as enjoyable as they are efficacious. 

Targeted ingredients 

Laboratoire PYC aims to meet the growing European demand for natural, comforting, and lifestyle-oriented nutricosmetic formats. It touts to do so by combining premium collagen peptides with specifically carefully selected tea and botanical extracts, 

In an increasingly competitive collagen market, Laboratoire PYC believes Collagen Skinfuse stands out with “an experience-driven approach centered on ritual and emotion, transforming daily collagen intake into an addictive self-care moment.”

De Schuyteneer explains: “In this collection, matcha with collagen, for instance, is positioned as a functional beverage designed to support concentration and cognitive performance.”

“Especially popular among younger generations, matcha is experiencing remarkable growth. In the US, consumption among Gen Z increased from 17% in 2021 to 25% in 2024, reinforcing its status as a trendy and culturally relevant ingredient.”
