December 18, 2025, the CCEF 2025 Cosmetics Entrepreneurs Forum and Brand Development Conference, themed “New Cycle · New Momentum · New Future”, successfully concluded in Hangzhou. Shanghai UYOUNG High Purity Biotechnology Co., LTD (hereinafter referred to as “UYOUNG”) made a prominent appearance with its flagship anti-aging ingredient BAKUCHIOL. Thanks to its outstanding product performance and innovative value, the ingredient was honored with the “2025 Cosmetic Industry Innovation Product Award”, highlighting the company’s strong capabilities in the field of phyto-ingredients.
With over 20 years of dedicated expertise in plant active ingredients, UYOUNG relies on GMP-compliant facilities and state-of-the-art separation and purification production lines, focusing on the supply of pure natural active ingredients(Purity 98% min). The award-winning Bakuchiol is one of the company’s core flagship products. With its key advantages of NATURAL, PURE, SAFE, and LOW-IRRITATION, it aligns perfectly with the current development trend of the cosmetics industry, which emphasizes the balance between efficacy and mildness.
In 2025, UYOUNG completed the NMPA new cosmetic ingredient registration for Bakuchiol. As a well-recognized anti-aging ingredient, Bakuchiol has been widely used in the global cosmetics industry for many years and is often referred to as “Phyto-retinol.” By regulating retinol-related gene expression, it stimulates the regeneration of Type I and Type III collagen, delivering multi-dimensional anti-aging benefits such as firming, wrinkle reduction, brightening, and antioxidant protection. At the same time, it avoids the photosensitivity and irritation commonly associated with traditional retinol, making it suitable even for sensitive skin and safe for both daytime and nighttime use.
With HSCCC Separation and Purification technology, UYOUNG ensures that Bakuchiol maintains high purity and stability while offering enhanced formulation compatibility. This enables its broad application across various functional cosmetic products, providing downstream brands with a safe, efficient, and reliable anti-aging solution.
Hosted by the China Association of Anti-Aging Promotion, the CCEF conference brought together over 1,000 industry leaders, experts, scholars, and representatives from across the cosmetics supply chain. Through forums, achievements showcases, and annual award selections, the event comprehensively demonstrated the innovative vitality of the cosmetics industry. Bakuchiol’s recognition at this prestigious event not only represents authoritative affirmation of its efficacy and technological innovation, but also reflects the market’s strong demand for natural, gentle anti-aging ingredients.
A representative of Shanghai UYOUNG High Purity Biotechnology Co., LTD stated that this award is an important acknowledgment from the industry. The company will continue to deepen its R&D and industrialization of natural active ingredients, offering diversified and customized solutions tailored to different customer needs. By continuously making natural innovation into the cosmetics industry, UYOUNG aims to make safe and effective ingredients accessible to more consumers and support the Chinese cosmetics industry in achieving a leading position on the global innovation stage.
