Core Biogenesis Launches Skin Longevity

Core Biogenesis and Faravelli have presented a new concept body care product called Skin Longevity Butter. The demonstrator formulation pairs proprietary biomimetic growth factors with botanical lipids, aiming to show how biotechnology can move body care beyond simple hydration.

This concept reflects a wider industry shift where consumers are applying skincare routines to their entire bodies. According to the source, ingredient suppliers are now adapting high-performance actives, once reserved for facial care, for use in body product formats.

Biomimetic growth factor core

The formulation's core consists of two proprietary technologies: Peauforia and Peauvita. Developed by the Strasbourg-based firm Core Biogenesis, these biomimetic growth factors are produced using a plant biofactory platform. The ingredients are encapsulated in natural oleosomes.

They are designed to support skin barrier function, improve skin quality and firmness, and encourage biological renewal. The Skin Longevity Butter concept combines these biotech actives with Illipe butter and a nourishing lipid complex.

The goal is to demonstrate a specific alternative to standard body butter. Instead, it is intended to demonstrate how advanced actives can be integrated into premium body care as brands seek greater differentiation.

The growing longevity narrative

Tony Abboud, Chief Commercial Officer at Core Biogenesis, stated that consumer expectations are evolving far beyond basic moisturization. He linked the concept to the beauty industry's focus on longevity.

"As skincare routines extend beyond the face, biotechnology offers an opportunity to create body care that supports skin quality, resilience and longevity," Abboud said. The launch aligns with what the source describes as one of the beauty industry's fastest-growing narratives.

Once largely confined to premium skincare, the longevity concept is now influencing product development in adjacent categories like hair care, body care, and colour cosmetics. For suppliers, it has become a platform for introducing technologies that emphasize barrier support and skin resilience.

A formulation inspiration platform

Skin Longevity Butter is part of the Longevity Concepts collection developed jointly by Core Biogenesis and Faravelli. The series also includes two other demonstrator products: a Lip Longevity Gloss and an Eye Longevity Shadow.

These concepts function as inspiration platforms for beauty manufacturers and brand owners. For Faravelli, a distributor, the partnership shows how such companies are increasingly contributing to innovation by translating new ingredient technologies into market-ready concepts.

Biotech's expanding influence

The launch highlights the expanding influence of biotechnology within the beauty sector. The source notes this includes fermentation-derived ingredients and plant-based production platforms like the one used by Core Biogenesis.

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 the segment could become a testing ground for regenerative, longevity-focused formulations.
