Cultivating relationships

Cosmetics don’t just make us look and feel good, they are increasingly eco-friendly too. Through innovation, partnerships and acquisitions, Evonik is reinforcing its focus on biobased ingredients and sustainable production. Now, with beauty giant L’Oréal, the company has invested in the French startup Abolis, which uses biotechnology to produces molecules for care products.
