On August 4, 2026, Symrise announced the addition of Dragosine green to its Care & Wellness portfolio. This new ingredient uses plant-derived L-carnosine produced via biotechnology to offer skin longevity support and prejuvenation.
According to the company’s press release, Dragosine green supports skin longevity through three pilars: exposome protection, structural longevity and visible skin improvement. The company claims the ingredient protects skin from expo some-related stressors, such as UV-induced oxidative stress, blue light, infrared radiation and heat. Further, Dragosine green supports mechanisms linked to collagen formation, glycation protection, epidermal cell proliferation and senescence-related decline.
“Dragosine green combines the proven efficacy and scientific heritage of the Dragosine range with the natural-origin profile and formulation flexibility that brands increasingly seek,” said Nathalie Chevrot, global skin care category director for advanced actives. “With this new ingredient, we help customers move beyond traditional anti-aging claims and create skincare concepts that support skin longevity and long-lasting resilience.”
Dragosine green is a water-soluble ingredient and can be used in broad applications across face care, body care, sun care and natural-origin skincare concepts.
