Chemyunion is promoting a variety of new personal care innovations for 2026 for skin and hair products.

Peptid4 Light MB

Hyperpigmentation is a complex biological process that goes far beyond localized dark spots, directly impacting the perception of aging and overall skin well-being. Sensitive and reactive skin types, in particular, present a basal inflammatory state that disrupts melanogenesis. The use of aggressive brightening agents can intensify this imbalance, favoring post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and creating a continuous cycle between inflammation and discoloration.

It is within this context that Peptid4 Light MB stands out. The active works through the modulation of the Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R), simultaneously balancing melanin production and skin inflammatory processes. This exclusive mechanism enables control of melanogenesis at its origin, without compromising skin integrity, positioning the ingredient as a safe and effective alternative to traditional skin brighteners.

Peptid4 Light MB is an innovative tetrapeptide that modulates the Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R). Its unique mechanism allows the simultaneous regulation of melanin production and inflammatory pathways, promoting global tone uniformity without disrupting skin physiology. Unlike conventional brightening agents, Peptid4 Light MB acts at the source of the process, respecting skin biology and building long-lasting results aligned with the concept of timeless balance.

Peptid4 Light MB was awarded 3rd place (Bronze) at the In-Cosmetics Global Awards 2026, in the Innovation Zone Best Active Ingredients category.

BioTech4 AntiGray

Over time, the appearance of gray hair becomes one of the most visible signs of hair aging. The progressive reduction in melanocytic activity within hair follicles compromises the production and transfer of melanin along the hair fiber, resulting in the loss of natural hair color. Beyond its biological aspect, this process directly impacts the perception of vitality, youthfulness and well-being, influencing self-esteem and the consumer’s relationship with their own image.

The active acts in an integrated manner on the main mechanisms involved in hair graying, stimulating melanin synthesis and preserving hair follicle functionality over time. Its biotechnological approach not only enables the recovery of pigmentation but also helps maintain the natural capacity of the hair pigmentary system, ensuring progressive, natural and long-lasting results.

BioTech4 AntiGray is a biotechnologically derived active ingredient, classified as a postbiotic, developed to prevent and reverse the hair graying process through the induction of melanogenesis. Its exclusive mechanism stimulates the resumption of melanin production, supports the homogeneous distribution of pigment along the hair fiber, and contributes to the maintenance of pigmentary cells, protecting the follicle against oxidative stress. BioTech4 AntiGray acts at the origin of the process, respecting hair biology and promoting the gradual recovery of natural hair color.
