Presented as a technology demonstrator rather than a commercial product, the new concept — dubbed Skin Longevity Butter — combines biomimetic growth factors with botanical lipids to illustrate how biotechnology could expand the role of premium body care beyond hydration and nourishment.
The Skin Longevity Butter concept reflects a broader industry trend: consumers are extending skincare routines to the entire body, prompting ingredient suppliers to adapt high-performance actives traditionally associated with facial care to new product formats.
Biomimetic growth factors
At the core of the formulation concept are Peauforia and Peauvita, two proprietary biomimetic growth factor technologies developed by Strasbourg-headquartered Core Biogenesis. Produced using the company’s plant biofactory platform and encapsulated in natural oleosomes, the ingredients are designed to support skin barrier function, improve skin quality and firmness, and encourage biological renewal.
Skin Longevity Butter pairs these biotech actives with Illipe butter and a nourishing lipid complex, combining a rich sensory profile with a science-driven positioning.
Rather than simply introducing another body butter, the concept is intended to demonstrate how advanced actives can be integrated into premium body care formulations as brands seek greater product differentiation.
A growing longevity opportunity
According to Tony Abboud, Chief Commercial Officer at Core Biogenesis, consumer expectations are evolving far beyond basic moisturization.
"As skincare routines extend beyond the face, biotechnology offers an opportunity to create body care that supports skin quality, resilience and longevity," he said. “Skin Longevity Butter provides a glimpse into what that future could look like."
The launch aligns with one of the beauty industry’s fastest-growing narratives: longevity. Once largely confined to premium skincare, the concept is increasingly influencing product development across adjacent categories, from hair care and body care to colour cosmetics.
For ingredient suppliers, longevity has become a platform for introducing technologies that emphasize barrier support, repair mechanisms and skin resilience, while appealing to brands seeking premium, science-backed claims.
A formulation platform for brands
Skin Longevity Butter forms part of the Longevity Concepts collection developed jointly by Core Biogenesis and Faravelli. The series also includes Lip Longevity Gloss and Eye Longevity Shadow, extending the company’s biomimetic growth factor approach beyond skincare into colour cosmetics.
These concepts function as inspiration platforms for beauty manufacturers and brand owners looking to explore new formulation directions.
For Faravelli, whose role spans ingredient distribution and formulation support, the partnership also illustrates how distributors are increasingly contributing to innovation by translating emerging ingredient technologies into market-ready concepts.
Biotech continues to reshape premium beauty
These launches underscores the expanding influence of biotechnology within the beauty sector. From fermentation-derived ingredients to plant-based production platforms, biotech is enabling suppliers to develop sophisticated active ingredients while responding to demand for innovative and more sustainable solutions.
As whole-body skincare gains traction, concepts such as Skin Longevity Butter suggest that the segment could become an important testing ground for regenerative and longevity-focused formulations — bringing facial skincare’s high-performance positioning to an increasingly strategic category for beauty brands.
