DSM-Firmenich has announced a collaboration with ExoLab Italia, a start-up specializing in plant-derived exosomal technologies from Italian organic fruits and vegetables.
Officials say the strategic partnership between DSM-Firmenich Perfumery and Beauty and ExoLab Italia marks a pivotal moment in its broader strategy for innovation and sustained growth.
Emmanuel Butstraen, president perfumery and beauty, DSM-Firmenich, said the collaboration aligns with the company's commitment to provide customers with the “highest quality products” that meet the growing demand for natural, effective and sustainable ingredients in the skincare market.
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles naturally released by cells in all living organisms. They serve as a natural delivery system for molecules produced by cells and facilitate intercellular communication. Plant-derived exosomes offer a multitude of benefits for personal care and beauty products and, ultimately, for skin health, officials say.They are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, proteins, lipids, and messenger molecules that work in concert to enhance skin health and combat signs of aging. By delivering these bioavailable active ingredients, plant-derived exosomes provide a natural and effective way to achieve youthful, radiant-looking skin, officials said.
ExoLab Italia, known for its expertise in exosomal technologies, says it's committed to advancing nutraceutical supplements, cosmetic products, and healthcare solutions.
"By focusing on plant-derived exosomes, ExoLab Italia offers distinctive scientific proficiency in cellular health and skin recovery which, combined with DSM-Firmenich's renowned expertise in skin biology, claim substantiation, and active ingredients, offers immense potential to elevate the standards of natural and effective skincare to unprecedented heights," said Gabriele Campi, CEO of ExoLab Italia.
