Power of beauty revealed

At the in-cosmetics tradeshow in Bangkok, Thailand, from November 4th – 6th 2014, DSM will continue to demonstrate its commitment to revealing the true power of beauty.

This is demonstrated through innovative developments, exciting new studies and breakthrough
concepts in Skin, Sun and Hair Care. 

When it comes to long-term beauty transformation and skin aging, senescence has recently been very much in the spotlight. As a key factor in natural cellular aging, senescence provides a new approach in seeking preventive anti-ageing solutions. Latest DSM research culminated in Regu- Scene; an active that is carefully isolated and purified from Asparagus officinalis ‘Grolim’, the pearl of Navarra. With its  unique mechanism of action, this asparagus variety offers a solution to the naturally occurring cellular ageing process by stimulating the skin’s own autophagy capabilities, thus helping to delay signs of cellular ageing by decades. Extended in vivo studies have confirmed the efficacy of Regu-Scene in improving the appearance of two major signs of ageing in the skin: collagen loss and dermis thinning.

Visitors can learn more about Regu-Scene at the Innovation Seminar on November 6th at 1.30 pm.

DSM is one of the leading players in synthetic bioactive peptides. This includes its Syn-Peptide
portfolio which is proven to be highly effective in fighting against the ageing process. The latest
highlight, following ten years success of DSM’s patented SYN peptides portfolio, is that as of July
2014, the peptides Syn-Ake and Syn-Hycan are now listed by the Chinese Food & Drug Authority
(CFDA). Together with Syn-Coll, which was already listed by CFDA in September 2012, customers are able to expand the application of Syn-Peptides by tailored combination and formulation for visible and targeted effects.

Comprehensive studies have shown that the skin becomes smoother and softer to the touch with an overall youngerlooking appearance in only 28 days. DSM invites its customers to experience the holistic approach for the skin smoothening and lifting by Syn-Peptides at the DSM booth.

Building on DSM's dedication to a holistic beauty experience, where appearance and sensation are both equally important, DSM has announced the launch of Valvance in Asia: the new range of
sensory and visual modifiers. Valvance is DSM’s answer to requests and needs by consumers and customers for more pleasant textures and strongly perceived effects. The only sensory line with crosssegmental roots, it has been developed with DSM’s expertise and passion in all aspects of skin and sun care. Besides a strong immediate result, consumers receive a fully substantiated performance benefit thanks to the newly developed “Bright Eye”, “Shine Control & Pore Minimizer” and “Comfortable in the Sun” concepts featuring Valvance.


Sensorial elegance of the formulations is a particular focus in sun care. By combining
Parsol UV filters, the Amphisol K emulsifier, skin care actives, vitamins and Valvance sensory
enhancers, DSM presents its latest holistic UV protection solution. It turns day care with UV protection and beach sunscreens into desirable formulations for consumers by optimizing the UV protection performance and sensory characteristics.

Recently DSM identified these proof points by conducting qualitative and quantitative consumer studies to justify the demand. Furthermore, DSM’s sensory expert panel established a global sensory mapping of personal care product benchmarks, allowing its customers to differentiate themselves on the market vs. those benchmarks.
