Solabia Group left in-cosmetics Asia 2025 with two reasons for formulators to update their supplier shortlists: a Gold Award for Serenibiome and the launch of a new ingredient branded LipoStick.

The Gold Award for Serenibiime — a recognition decided within the framework of the in-cosmetics Asia Innovation Zone program — puts a spotlight on an active that the judging panel singled out from the pool of entries at this year's edition of the Bangkok show. For procurement teams and product development leads, award outcomes at in-cosmetics Asia function as a filtered signal: a jury of industry evaluators has already done a first-pass screen, which typically shortens the internal qualification queue.

What does the double recognition signal?

Solabia's presence at the event combined recognition for an established active with the commercial debut of a new launch. The Gold Award for Serenibiome positions that ingredient as one of the notable introductions of the show cycle, while the LipoStick launch extends the group's catalogue in the color cosmetics and lip care space suggested by the name.

For brands building 2026 pipelines, the practical takeaway is straightforward. Serenibiome now carries a third-party endorsement that marketing teams can cite, and LipoStick enters the sampling queue as a new INCI-registered raw material to evaluate for texture, stability and claim support.

Why in-cosmetics Asia awards matter for suppliers

The Innovation Zone awards at in-cosmetics Asia are among the most watched competitive recognitions in the Asia-Pacific ingredient calendar. Suppliers plan launches and award submissions around the show because the region remains the largest growth engine for beauty demand.

A Gold distinction therefore carries weight beyond the trophy. It influences:

• which actives R&D teams prioritize for bench trials in the following quarters;
• how distributors position a supplier's portfolio in regional catalogs;
• which ingredients get cited in trend briefings from formulators and trend agencies covering the show.

Solabia Group, a French-origin ingredient manufacturer, has built its portfolio around actives derived from biotechnology and plant extraction. The double highlight in Bangkok reinforces its visibility with Asian cosmetic manufacturers, a customer base that regional peer shows exist to serve.

What should formulators and buyers watch next?

For professionals who missed the show floor, the next steps are conventional but time-sensitive. Technical data sheets, INCI designations and claim substantiation dossiers for both Serenibiome and LipoStick will circulate through Solabia's distributor network in the weeks following the event. Formulators evaluating the award-winning active should request the efficacy data behind the jury's decision, while color cosmetics developers will want early samples of LipoStick to benchmark against incumbent lip-care inputs.

The next data points to watch are the published Innovation Zone award listings from the in-cosmetics Asia 2025 organizers, which will place Serenibiome's Gold in the context of the silver and bronze winners, and Solabia's follow-up technical communications confirming LipoStick's INCI name, recommended use levels and regional availability.
