Kaiseraugst, Switzerland. April, 15 2026
dsm‑firmenich has been awarded bronze for the prestigious Best Active Ingredient Award at in‑cosmetics Global 2026, widely regarded as the most influential recognition in the global beauty industry, for its breakthrough innovation EXOVIVE™ LIFT – the next generation of science‑backed exosomes. Selected by the in‑cosmetics jury, known for its exceptional scientific rigor and uncompromising evaluation standards, this award recognizes dsm‑firmenich’s advancements in next‑generation exosome technology. With EXOVIVE™ LIFT, dsm‑firmenich is redefining the future of skincare by translating cutting‑edge exosome biology science into proven performance, raising the bar for scientific innovation and efficacy in high‑performance skin care.
Inspired by regenerative medicine and longevity science, plant-derived exosomes are set to spark a revolution in skincare – from beauty clinics to daily routine. dsm-firmenich’s EXOVIVE™ LIFT is an extracellular synergy system harnessing the power of Alpine Apple, Mediterranean Tangerine and Sicilian Papaya from Italian biodiversity to rejuvenate the skin from within. It’s carefully selected from organic natural sources, isolated and preserved at full potency through a highly sustainable proprietary extraction technology.
Our research sets new benchmarks for efficacy, substantiated by outstanding clinical and mechanistic evidence. In a 2-month placebo-controlled clinical study, conducted on 45 healthy subjects per group, EXOVIVE™ LIFT demonstrated a remarkable +30% improvement in skin elasticity and achieved wrinkle reversal equivalent to 8 years of aging, outperforming conventional botanical extracts.
Furthermore, for the first time in the industry, dsm-firmenich provided a breakthrough visualization of the vesicles entering fibroblast cells and migrating towards the nucleus, proof of the scientific concept for such a proposition.
