Symrise, BRAIN und AnalytiCon: A successful partnership bears fruit
Symrise obtains exclusive marketing rights to new cosmetic active ingredients thanks to its strategic partnership
Symrise has acquired licenses for two new groups of cosmetic active ingredients. These promising results were achieved in a joint development project with biotech specialist BRAIN and natural-product company AnalytiCon. The license gives Symrise international marketing rights.
The goal of the strategic partnership which was initiated in April 2007 was to jointly develop innovative and all-natural active ingredients for use in cosmetics. “This alliance allows Symrise to follow new paths in developing highly effective cosmetic ingredients and continuing to expand its competence in the field of active ingredients for skin and hair care,” explains Gabriele Vielhaber, Vice President, Innovation R&D, Life Essentials.
By June 30, 2008, the three cooperation partners successfully completed two screening procedures to identify multiple groups of innovative active ingredients thus enabling Symrise to develop new active components for use in cosmetics.
As of October 1, 2008, Symrise has acquired the exclusive marketing rights to two of these groups of active ingredients. Clinical tests have proven the high efficacy of both groups, and Symrise will now develop them with the goal of a market launch in 2009. They will be used primarily in deodorants as well as products for sensitive skin.
