At the last in-cosmetics Global trade show in Paris, Chemyunion presents BioTech4 AntiGray (INCI: Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate), a postbiotic ingredient designed to combat hair greying.

Rather than masking grey strands, the innovation targets the biological root cause of hair greying within the hair follicle, stimulating the natural restoration of melanin production.

For the skin, Chemyunion launched Peptid4 Light MB, a tetrapeptide targeting the MC1R receptor to modulate melanin production without rebound effect or inflammation, thus offering a progressive solution against dark spots and hyperpigmentation that is well-tolerated even by sensitive skin.

Peptid4 Light MB won 3rd place (Bronze) at the in-cosmetics Global Awards 2026, in the Innovation Zone Best Active Ingredients category.
