Lubrizol Life Science – Beauty (LLS Beauty) is celebrating its 10th anniversary of acquiring Lipotec™, an industry leader based in Barcelona, Spain, known for its research, development and production of innovative active ingredients – from peptides, small molecules to biotechnological ingredients– and delivery systems for application in skin care and cosmetics.
At the time of purchase in 2012, Lubrizol enhanced its existing personal care portfolio of formulated skin care solutions with the high-performance active ingredients Lipotec™ specializes in, including their well-known anti-aging peptide, Argireline®. As a result, it strengthened the companies’ offering of claims-driven, technology-focused solutions to marketers of formulated skin care products. The acquisition also further developed Lubrizol’s speed-to-market capabilities with an Accelerator Program.
Today, Lipotec™ is the umbrella brand for active ingredients within the company, expanding beyond skin care into color cosmetics, hair care, scalp care and even rinse off formulated solutions. This expansion, combined with LLS Beauty’s anticipation of consumer needs, while prioritizing innovation and sustainability, has resulted in innovative ingredient solutions designed to enhance functional performance and deliver aesthetic benefits that help people to live a more beautiful life. The company’s Accelerator Program is also known for enabling brands to go from concept briefing to custom shelf-ready products at surprising speeds.
Looking to the future, LLS Beauty will continue to focus on partnering with customers to develop, manufacture and market a broad range of differentiated ingredients and formulations for skin care, hair care and skin cleansing.
