Ingredient innovation – essential oils and vegan carmine red
A review published in
Molecules by a team of international researchers investigated the rise in popularity of essential oils in cosmetics, noting the ‘enormous versatility’ they held for fragrances.
The researchers said essential oils had proven increasingly popular in cosmetics not only for their ability to impart unique and natural fragrances, but also for their scientifically backed health benefits, including anti-ageing and antimicrobial.
Innovation in colour also sparked interest, with Unilever’s announcement it had refined a vegan replacement for carmine red under its prestige brand Hourglass.
In an interview with CosmeticsDesign-Europe, Unilever’s global VP of R&D for prestige brands said the company planned to open-source this patent-pending innovation in the coming year.
