Differentiation your competitors cannot copy
begins with the ingredient

What participants took away

A strategic view

Why lasting differentiation starts with the ingredient, and the order in which a branded ingredient builds value: regulation, story, scientific evidence and intellectual property.

A story that commands a premium

Turning an ingredient story backed by evidence into a brand asset rather than a line on the label.

Ingredient engineering

How TIBD's R&D team modifies common extracts into distinctive ingredients (ingredient modification).

An international case study

The journey of EstoLight® from ITERG research to an ingredient used in real cosmetic formulas.

ITERG and the EstoLight® case

ITERG, the French technical centre for lipids founded in 1943 in Bordeaux, presented EstoLight®: a plant-lipid dispersant with 99% bio-based content, made from castor oil without palm, that helps pigments, mineral UV filters and plant extracts disperse evenly in formulas. The session included joint tests with TIBD's R&D team on Thai extracts: black ginger, turmeric and mangosteen pericarp xanthones.

When every brand uses the same ingredients,
differentiation does not last

Brand owners

Many products draw on the same supplier catalogs. What sets them apart is easily copied, and competition soon comes down to price.

Researchers

Much promising research has real commercial potential, yet lacks a clear route from the laboratory to an ingredient that brands are ready to buy.

The answer: branded ingredients

An ingredient backed by its own story, scientific evidence and intellectual property is an asset that competitors cannot replicate.
