In today’s beauty world, consumers want more from less—clean, effective, and sustainable ingredients. Rosecocktail™ delivers on all fronts and offers dual benefits for both hair and skin, making it a powerful multifunctional active.

On hair, Rosecocktail™ acts as an endocuticle edge filler—a new approach targeting the inner cuticle layer. By sealing these “ghost edges,” it restores shine and softness. Naturally rich in oleic acid, linoleic acid, vitamins A and E, it also helps rebalance lipids in damaged hair.

On skin, Rosecocktail™ supports the barrier by upregulating the occludin protein expression , soothing sensitivity, and reducing transepidermal water loss. The result is calmer, stronger, and more resilient skin.

Beyond its efficacy, Rosecocktail™ is biodegradable and rooted in circular beauty, turning plant waste into a high-value active. It meets today’s demand for multifunctional, conscious beauty solutions.

This presentation highlights the science, performance, and market relevance of Rosecocktail™—an ingredient made for the next era of sustainable innovation.

OBJECTIVE:
Recently, due to environmental impact and regulation, the challenge given to R&D to replace petro-based polymers has never been more important. But the description of a polymer is complex. Each polymer can be considered from its chemical structure, its organization, its rheology properties, its functionality, its sensorial behavior. A new data tool with multi criteria approached is evaluated on this study.

METHOD:
Cargill’s innovation team had the idea that Artificial Intelligence (traditional AI – not Gen AI) could be the right medium for a new comprehensive approach on cosmetic polymers. The aim was to create a tool capable of performing an analysis on big data and then generating predictive results according paterns. 44 criteria based on rheology, tribology, texture analyzer and sensory data were identified. The evaluation of 30 polymers including petro-based and derived natural polymers generated over 8,000 data points.

RESULTS:
Data Science team a t Cargill design a dedicated tool for cosmetic in order to have a more comprehensive knowledge on polymers. Cargill’s polymer mapping tool gives a support to visualize the position of derived natural polymers and the petro-based polymers. It confirms the generic knowledge that petro-based polymers behave differently from derived natural materials. Only combinations of derived natural polymers can offer an alternative to petro-based materials. The mapping is showing that lot of natural polymers network are associative. This pattern gives us opportunity to design a new intelligent able to predict behavior of association of polymers. From this unique tool we can foresee best associations to replace dedicated synthetic polymers.

The results provided by artificial intelligence is confirmed by new material developed and launched by Cargill Beauty to replace a carbomer. The example of our new Actigum Care shows the relevancy of the options of association proposed by the tool as replacement of Carbomer.

CONCLUSIONS:
Crafted with precision we are able to adjust combinations of natural material for the replacement of petro-based polymer.

In a world increasingly driven by visible results and clinical credibility, consumers are seeking skincare that delivers more than promises, they want proven performance. As aesthetic procedures like botulinum toxin injections, fillers, and micro-needling gain popularity across all age groups, a new frontier is emerging: procedure-like cosmetics. These topicals offer a non-invasive, science-backed alternative or complement to in-clinic treatments, bridging the gap between beauty and advanced cosmetic science.

This presentation explores the convergence between clinical aesthetics and advanced skincare, unveiling how high-performance actives and sophisticated delivery systems are reshaping consumer expectations. We will showcase the development of topical solutions inspired by procedures, such as facial harmonizing serums and targeted neck rejuvenation formulas, that deliver perceivable benefits without needles or downtime.

Leveraging global consumer trend data, Google search growth, and real-world clinical evidence, we will decode what the modern beauty user truly desires: cleanical solutions - clean, safe formulations with proven clinical efficacy. Whether enhancing results post-treatment or replacing procedures altogether, procedure-inspired cosmetics offer a new standard of efficacy for a market eager for transformation.
