Brenntag has partnered with Cambrium to launch NovaColl, a skin-identical vegan collagen, in key European markets including the UK, Ireland, Iberia, France, and Italy. Produced using precision fermentation, NovaColl is cruelty-free and aims to support the skin's natural structure for a more youthful appearance. The collaboration between Brenntag and Cambrium brings AI-designed actives to the beauty and personal care market, offering sustainable and effective skincare solutions to meet consumer demand.

As collagen derived from animal tissues becomes increasingly unsustainable, companies like Jellatech and Aleph Farms are developing animal-free alternatives through biotechnology and cellular agriculture. Brenntag is committed to introducing trendsetting products like NovaColl to cater to the rising demand for sustainable skincare solutions. By showcasing NovaColl at trade fairs like Cosmet'Agora in Paris, Brenntag is paving the way for innovative formulations and partnerships in the European beauty and personal care market.
