In a move that underscores the accelerating convergence of beauty, health and wellness, Symrise AG has established a new Care & Wellness division within its Scent & Care segment, integrating the company’s expertise in cosmetic ingredients, health actives and biotics into a single platform aimed at delivering science-backed solutions across topical and ingestible applications.
The new structure builds on Symrise’s recent acquisition of probiotic specialist Probi and aligns five business units spanning beauty and personal care, biotics, dietary supplements and pet health to unlock cross-category innovation and faster concept development.
By combining capabilities in skin science, microbiome research and functional health ingredients, the division is designed to help customers create “inside-out” and holistic care solutions that link measurable efficacy with sensorial experience—ranging from microbiome-supporting skin care to ingestible wellness formats and daily routines focused on healthier longevity.
Company executives framed the move as a strategic shift from traditional category-based offerings toward “connected care,” positioning Symrise to meet growing consumer demand for integrated solutions that support how people look, feel and maintain wellbeing throughout the day while reinforcing the company’s broader strategy around scientific excellence, sustainable growth and purpose-driven innovation in everyday health, wellbeing and beauty.
“Establishing Care & Wellness is a natural next step in our evolution,” said Jean Yves Parisot, DVM, CEO of Symrise. “By bringing together our capabilities in cosmetic ingredients and health solutions, we are delivering integrated innovations that help our customers shape the future of care, to support consumers pursuing healthier longevity. This division reinforces our commitment to scientific excellence, sustainable growth and long term value creation.”
“The creation of the Care & Wellness division reflects how care is evolving across industries,” said Timothy Kenny, president, Care & Wellness division. “Consumers are no longer thinking in single categories, they expect solutions that support beauty, health and wellbeing together. By uniting our capabilities, we can support our customers in developing innovative concepts that deliver both proven efficacy and meaningful consumer experiences.”
