Roquette, a long-time supplier of plant-based ingredients for food, nutrition and health markets, is entering the cosmetics market. The group will unveil this new product range, branded "Beauté by Roquette," at the In-Cosmetics tradeshow in Amsterdam on April 17-19.
To develop this new high-value offer for the Cosmetics market, Roquette leverages its 80-year expertise in developing plant-based ingredients. Roquette has a strong track record of innovation and quality excellence in the food and pharma markets, and that will serve as a pillar to create a differentiated position in cosmetics, according to company executives. Headquartered in France, Roquette has been working closely with the French cosmetics ecosystem to design and test its offer, and intends to reinforce its collaboration with its customers and partners globally to provide consumers with new benefits.
We are looking forward to unveiling Beauté by Roquette as we believe we have real innovations that can bring solutions to the cosmetics market," explained Gaëtan Borgers, VP-cosmetics business, "We plan to leverage our strong know-how in plant-based ingredients for the Food, Nutrition and Health markets to offer innovative, high-performance and sustainable solutions to the Cosmetics market, which we see as a very attractive market at the crossroads of our current areas of expertise."
This new offering aims at addressing key consumer trends in the cosmetics market, notably the growing demand for plant-based products, but also for high-performance and innovation. These trends are reinforced by increasing environmental concerns, the growth of the middle-class, urbanization and aging populations, which will continue to contribute to dynamism of the global cosmetics market.
The Beauté by Roquette range of products will focus on anti-aging and sun protection properties, as well as improved sensorial benefits combining for instance hydration, softness with a unique dry and velvet skin feel.
"The upcoming launch of our Beauté by Roquette range is an important development milestone for the group," added CEO Jean-Marc Gilson. "We believe that beauty is all about skin health and nutrition and we see our new activity in cosmetics as a complementary promising pillar to our existing offering. This new pillar will further contribute to improving well-being of millions of consumers worldwide."
