Barentz redefines body care with “Skinification” concept at in-cosmetics Global 2026
Hoofddorp, Netherlands, April, 10, 2026 – Barentz International, a leading global specialty ingredient solution provider, is excited to unveil its latest innovation: Skinification – Redefining Body Care during in-cosmetics Global Paris, the premier international B2B event for the beauty and personal care industry, taking place April 14–16, 2026.
Following the success of last year’s focus on skin longevity, Barentz is shifting the spotlight to the "Skinification" of the body—a movement that treats body care with the same level of respect, efficacy, and sensorial sophistication as facial skincare.
Why body skinification is fundamental
The skin of the body deserves the same attention and care as that of the face. Consumers no longer accept basic moisturizers, they are looking for specific ingredients to address body skin concerns and daily protection habits against environmental factors and external aggressions.
Barentz concept: redefining beauty and body care
Inspired by facial skincare, the Skinification concept extends face-grade performance beyond traditional boundaries. It delivers innovative formats and ultra-light textures—including milky serums, essences, and oil-sprays—that bring freshness and lightness to body care. During the tradeshow, Barentz will showcase ten innovative textures that unite pleasure, comfort, and high performance to strengthen the skin’s natural defenses.
Key highlights of the 2026 showcase include:
Dermo-Grade Efficacy: Formulas featuring active ingredients typically reserved for facial care, such as retinol, niacinamide, and AHAs.
Advanced Sensoriality: Ultra-light, fast-absorbing textures including milky serums, essences, and oil-sprays.
Format Innovation: A focus on hybrid forms like balm-sticks and mists that turn daily protection into a spa-inspired ritual.
