On 28 September 2026, BASF announced research for the IFSCC Congress in Perth, held from 28 September to 1 October. Its announcement described botanical extraction using plant-derived solvents, including coconut water, alongside separate work on peptides and biopolymers. BASF reported changes in the composition of selected plant extracts and findings related to skin barrier properties. These are supplier-reported research findings; the announcement does not establish the performance of a finished Lanthome skincare product.
For private label skincare buyers, the useful question is how an extraction process can be documented, evaluated and translated into a product brief. The following recommendations are our procurement analysis of that question, rather than additional findings from the research.
A botanical name is a starting point for sourcing. Ask the supplier to connect that name to the plant part, extraction process, carrier, specification and intended use level. Two ingredients described with the same plant name may require different handling in a formula. Your purchase brief should make those differences visible before the formulation team begins sample work.
A process described as natural or innovative should also prompt a request for a precise explanation. Record what the description covers, which supporting documents are available and which statements remain unverified. Keep the material specification separate from any broader environmental claim about the final product and its packaging.
A useful next step is a short comparison brief with one product format, one target market and a clearly stated buyer objective. Include the existing reference sample, the proposed ingredient option, the documents still needed and the tests required before approval. Assign a person to each open question and agree when the team will review the results.
For example, a moisturizer project could compare candidate samples for the intended texture, packaging compatibility and approved claim direction. The brief should identify which evidence comes from an ingredient supplier and which evidence must be generated for the chosen finished formula. This keeps a promising research direction from becoming an unsupported launch promise.
Lanthome Skincare's website presents product sourcing, private label packaging coordination and OEM/ODM project evaluation for overseas buyers. Browse the current product collections to identify a starting format, then send your project brief with the target country, sales channel, desired product type and evidence questions.
Ingredient availability, production entity, documents, specifications, MOQ and lead time require confirmation for the individual project. This article reports an external research announcement and offers a sourcing framework; it does not announce a BASF partnership or the use of its research ingredients in Lanthome products.
