Proya and Evonik sign strategic cooperation agreement
According to the strategic agreement, Evonik will share new raw material products, future development directions, new technology development platforms and other information with Proya, and provide Proya with more targeted technical solutions and insights into cutting-edge trends in the cosmetics market.
In addition, both parties will explore more cooperation opportunities in new product development. Evonik will share some of its pioneering technologies and help Proya develop and optimize products in a domestically exclusive or first-to-use manner, thereby creating unique experiences and more diversified choices for consumers.
Evonik has cooperated with Proya for many years. Starting in 2021, Evonik will gradually provide Proya with a full range of raw materials, including ceramides, through direct sales, and provide formulation technical support. Relevant raw materials have been used in many of Proya's star products.
As the world's leading supplier of personal care ingredients, Evonik is committed to developing cutting-edge solutions with superior efficacy and sustainable benefits, and adopting more sustainable production and sourcing models. In addition to its well-known skin barrier and repair solutions, Evonik continues to provide systematic support to cosmetics brands in response to changing market trends and various segmented needs.
