On June 4, 2025, in Ho Chi Minh City, nearly 50 experts in research and development (R&D) and representatives from the personal care industry gathered for the “Confidence in Everyday Beauty Creations” seminar, jointly organized by VICTA Trading Joint Stock Company – a member of Asia Ingredients Group (AIG) – and global specialty chemicals leader Nouryon.
The event showcased next-generation ingredients that address the rising demand for personalization and sustainable beauty, while highlighting the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in product innovation – marking a significant step forward in R&D processes.
Natural and Personalized Solutions on the Rise
Today, personalization, proven efficacy, and eco-friendliness are key drivers in the development of personal care products. In skincare, consumers are increasingly prioritizing products that reduce irritation, protect the skin, and slow down aging. In haircare, there is growing interest in damage-repair solutions tailored to specific hair conditions. These evolving preferences create new opportunities for cosmetic brands to innovate.
Mr. Cheak Wan Yee – Technical Service Manager at Nouryon – presenting AI-driven skincare formulation solutions.
At the seminar, Nouryon experts introduced a portfolio of scientifically backed ingredients that deliver exceptional results for both skin and hair care, including Hydrovance® Xtend for long-lasting hydration, Structure® M3, an anionic co-surfactant that helps reduce irritation, and Armocare™ VGH-70 and Armocare™ Aqua 12, conditioning agents that enhance hair softness and repair damage.
These ingredients are ideal for minimalist formulas, helping businesses reduce costs while aligning with the growing green consumption trend in Vietnam and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
