The division will fuse the German chemical company’s expertise in cosmetic ingredients, health actives and biotics to address the ‘consumer shift’ towards topical and ingestible solutions for everyday health and wellbeing

Symrise has launched a new Care & Wellness Division as it sets out to provide a fully integrated health and beauty portfolio.

The Care & Wellness Division sits within the German chemical company’s Scent & Care segment,  combining its expertise across cosmetic ingredients, health actives and biotics. 

It sees the company shift from category-based offerings towards a “connected care approach” as it looks to “amplify innovation” across beauty, personal care, biotics, supplements and pet health.

“Establishing Care & Wellness is a natural next step in our evolution,” said Dr Jean Yves Parisot, 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.” 

For companies working on next-generation beauty solutions, the Cosmetics Business Innovation Awards provide an industry-wide platform to showcase and explain meaningful innovation. Entries open now!

Symrise is a leading supplier of fragrances, flavours, nutrition and cosmetic active ingredients, and is headquartered in Holzminden, Germany.

Timothy Kenny, President, Care & Wellness Division, commented: “The creation of the Care & Wellness Division reflects how care is evolving across industries. 

“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.”
