28 Sep 2021 --- Givaudan Active Beauty is using biocatalysis and microbiomics to tackle skin issues related to wearing face masks. The company is launching Masknyl, an active ingredient able to counteract redness, inflammation and hyperpigmentation due to mask-wearing. “The skin microbiome is rising as a trend as consumers become even more educated on it. We can now see it promoted on finished products, and skin microbiome is now more than a trend for consumers, it’s a claim,” Pauline Martin, operational marketing & communication manager, Givaudan Active Beauty, tells PersonalCareInsights.
