Active Beauty
Our cutting-edge technologies draw on science and nature to create high-performing molecules and functional agents, including customised carrier systems.
Our six technology pillars blend expertise in natural molecules with breakthroughs in skin understanding.
This is how we’re changing the face of the beauty business.
Blue biotechnology
Givaudan’s expertise in ‘blue’ technologies draws on molecules and active ingredients found in the ocean. The advantage of marine technology is that not only does it offer powerful beauty properties, it is a highly sustainable resource.
Green fractionation
Our experts fuse science and nature to deliver high-performing and sustainable solutions for plant-based active ingredients.
Green biotechnology
How we leverage green biotechnology to unlock the powerful potential of plants in our portfolio of sustainable and natural ingredients.
White biotechnology
White biotechnology shows Givaudan’s innovation in action by developing manufacturing processes that do not rely on traditional chemistry, and which carries an added benefit of enabling cosmetic scientists to manufacture hard-to-make molecules.
Applied microbiomics
Metagenomics takes its name from ‘meta’, meaning ‘beyond’ and ‘genomics’, which is the science of gene analysis. This is a breakthrough domain for cosmetics and an extremely exciting field.
Visual carriers
These coloured beads, often loaded with active ingredients or essential oils beads (Unispheres™), found in shower gels, creams or serums, are crushed when a customer applies them in their beauty product or in hair care.
Our marketing concepts
As creators of beautiful fragrances and cosmetics, we often look to the natural world for inspiration. We draw upon the extraordinary benefits and properties of plants, microorganisms and vegetable sources, translating these with the latest sustainable biotechnologies into highly functional, high-performance products.
