The beauty and personal care industry is entering a new phase, where consumers are looking beyond surface-level aesthetics and focusing more closely on long-term wellbeing. This shift is driving the rise of metabolic beauty, a trend that connects beauty with cellular health, resilience, and overall wellness.
As regulatory complexity continues to rise, the real constraint facing Regulatory Affairs teams is no longer knowledge itself, but access, accuracy, and speed.
For a long time, coatings were primarily valued for what they helped prevent, including corrosion, wear, environmental exposure, and other external factors. That view no longer holds.
What if you could not only detect when your material degrades, but also understand exactly what it releases in real time? For scientists and engineers working with polymers, coatings, pharmaceuticals, or advanced materials, this is more than a nice-to-have capability. It provides a clear competitive advantage. Hyphenated techniques such as TGA-EGA (thermogravimetric analysis coupled with evolved gas analysis) deliver this level of insight by transforming routine thermal analysis into a more powerful decision-making tool.
Texture, fragrance, and visual appeal are key elements in sensorial beauty, driving consumer decisions in the personal care industry. Learn more in this article.
Sustainable beauty is gaining momentum as consumers look for cosmetic products that balance performance with environmental and social responsibility. Interest in green cosmetics continues to rise as environmental awareness and transparency influence purchasing decisions. This shift is prompting brands to reconsider what is sustainable beauty and how they define it in practical terms.
In today’s specialty chemicals industry, uncertainty has become the norm. Manufacturers and formulators across Europe face persistent risks, including stock shortages, rising inflation, volatile logistics costs, and fragile supply chains. Amid these headwinds, securing reliable, high-quality raw materials over the long term and across regions has evolved from an operational requirement into a strategic advantage. This is where DKSH Performance Materials stands apart.
In the life sciences industry, innovation often captures the spotlight, from breakthrough therapies and cutting-edge biologics, to personalized medicine and advanced diagnostics. Yet behind every successful product sits a far less visible but equally critical function: raw material distribution, a key link in the supply chain. Especially in times of margin pressure, when pricing constraints, reimbursement challenges, and rising operational costs squeeze profitability, efficient and strategic raw material distribution supported by strong supply chain management becomes not just important but fundamental to sustained performance.
The beauty industry is undergoing a transformation – one that embraces individuality, sustainability, and mindful consumption. Moving beyond the era of one-size-fits-all solutions, the industry is shifting towards hyper-personalized experiences powered by AI and digital tools.
Amid inflationary pressures, changing consumer behavior, and rising sustainability awareness, Supply Chain Management (SCM) has evolved from a logistical function into a core driver of business strategy. Companies no longer see SCM merely as a cost-control tool. Instead, they are adopting automation and smart technologies to improve visibility and process efficiency, turning it into a key driver of pricing strategy, customer experience, and service flexibility (KPMG, 2025). Today, SCM plays a critical role in driving business growth and organizational resilience.

It facilitates the supply of raw materials and chemicals for the pharmaceutical, agricultural, cosmetic, and food manufacturing industries.
The European Commission’s Regulation (EU) 2023/2055, enforced on 17th October 2023, marks a major step forward in reducing microplastic pollution generated by personal care products. This legislation targets intentionally added synthetic polymer microparticles—commonly known as microplastics—in consumer products with the aim of preventing the release of more than 500 000 tons of microplastics into the ocean by 2055.
AI-driven tools help streamline R&D, reduce time-to-market, and improve precision and compliance. Deformulation or reverse engineering formulation is faster and more accurate, helping companies create more sustainable alternatives.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) harmfully impact human health and the environment. These carbon-based compounds are commonly found in paints, adhesives, and cleaning products, where they easily evaporate into the air. Once released, they contribute to smog formation, poor air quality, and health risks such as respiratory issues and headaches.
As we enter 2025, the skincare industry is undergoing a significant transformation driven by the global demand for sustainability. Consumers are increasingly seeking products that offer more than just promises of outer beauty; they are looking for transparency, ethical sourcing, and environmental responsibility.
