BASF shines spotlight on longevity

BASF’s participation at in-cosmetics Global in Amsterdam is focusing on the company’s Longevity Ecosystem, which addresses evolving consumer demands for healthy ageing in a world where life expectancy is on the rise.

“Longevity is not solely about extending life, but also about enhancing the quality of those years through prevention and well-aging” says Dr Boris Gaspar, Head of Market Development, Personal Care EMEA.

“That’s why we’re focusing on developing customized products that reflect a holistic understanding of beauty, integrating planetary, emotional, and physical well-being – to do well, feel well and age well.”

With the Longevity Ecosystem, BASF continues its Beyond Beauty journey, helping customers unlock new opportunities in a transforming personal care market.

BASF experts is presenting its innovations at stand 1C110, which the company shares with its distribution organization BTC Europe.
