WELL-AGING & EXPOSOME – Thinking the skin as an interactive structure
In-depth research is the backbone for our comprehensive portfolio of well-aging & exposome ingredients to provide the cosmetic industry with products that are highly effective and substantiated by clinical data.
Carefully, exploring skin responses to external and internal stimuli helps to unlock the fundamentals of skin health and youthful appearance in a most dynamic way.

SKIN PIGMENTATION – Exploring the paths of radiance for a healthy glow
Time has come to take a new look on pigmentation disorders that need to be handled as a complex of the exposome!
As an expert in sun protection and a pioneer explorer of the exposome impact, Symrise is developing novel solutions to dark spots now perceived as the new wrinkles.
Skin brightening has come a long way from the basic ‘whitening’ to one of the most successful areas of beauty answering today’s consumer needs: a healthy & illuminated skin glow. Our portfolio features outstanding brighteners addressing melanin beyond UV rays like our blockbusters SymRadiance™ 377 & SymBright® 2036.
The upshot of this expertise is that Symrise has also been able to develop a natural tan enhancer for a healthy sun-kissed glow: SymBronze® 1659.
Our latest ingredient under skin pigmentation, Supervisome™ EPH is a 100% natural proteome supervisor preserving epidermal function through the promotion of small HSPs (Heat Shock Proteins) for a healthy & radiant skin!

SKIN SOOTHING – Balancing skin responses
As a specialist of skin discomfort and fragility for over 40 years, we have been among the firsts to acknowledge sensitivity as a specific state of the skin.
Our portfolio of soothing actives was originally based on the established expertise in the design of pure molecules – including the purest synthetic bisabolol or advanced solutions in the field of Oat Avenanthramides.
Now, it extends to a wide range of ingredients from itching to skin microbiome with our latest innovation: SymReboot™ range - probiotic-based ingredients & to stress relief with SymDStress™, the holistic CBD solutions.
