At in-cosmetics Global 2026, Croda International will present a range of ingredient developments spanning peptides, botanicals, emulsification systems, sun care technologies, and hair repair actives.
A central focus of Croda Beauty Actives’ presence is a new addition to its Matrixyl peptide range. The Matrixyl franchise has been used in cosmetic formulations for more than two decades, and the latest iteration reflects ongoing work in peptide design and delivery engineering aimed at improving performance efficiency in skin care applications.
Beyond peptides, Croda will showcase ingredient solutions aligned with current formulation priorities, including PEG-free systems, multifunctional ingredients, and technologies designed to perform across varied climates. These offerings are positioned for use in both skin and hair care, with an emphasis on formulation flexibility and performance.
The company will also highlight its emulsifier portfolio, emphasizing how emulsifier selection can affect formulation stability, mildness, regulatory positioning, texture, and sensory profile. Technical specialists will be available to discuss emulsifier choices for different product formats and end-use requirements.
Additional ingredients on display include a newly developed botanical active positioned as a next-generation option for premium skincare formulations, alongside six new products from the Heliami range. Hair care technologies will include KeraBio K31, which is designed to support biomimetic hair repair, as well as HydroAvena HpO, presented for its multifunctional benefits. Croda will also feature SPF-related technologies, including the SPF-boosting polymer Crodabond CSN.
