This 25th edition of in-cosmetics will be a memorable one for Sederma. The French supplier of cosmetic ingredients was presented the 25 Years of Innovation Award for Matrixyl, an ingredient launched in 2000 as the first peptide used for personal care applications.

The 25 Years of Innovation Award recognises the product that has had the greatest impact on the personal care ingredients market in the last quarter-century. Matrixyl has been considered as a breakthrough in the cosmetic industry, as voted for by over a thousand show visitors and a panel of industry experts.

"Matrixyl was born from the capacity of Sederma teams to innovate and develop effective products that answer customer’s needs for years,” said Olga Gracioso, Sederma Marketing Director, who received the award. “Matrixyl is not only a product, it is now a brand with a range of several active ingredients. So I am very happy with this prize that recognises the efforts of our teams in making Matrixyl become such a sustainable success story!
