Symrise AG today announced the creation of its new Care and Wellness division, a decisive step to accelerate global demand for products that support health, well-being and beauty in everyday life. Part of the fragrance and care segment, the division, after acquiring Proby in 2025, combines Summeris’ expertise in cosmetic ingredients, health activities and biotech, to provide customers with a complete health and beauty portfolio. This approach helps customers respond to fast-paced consumer expectations based on science, with high-performance solutions for topical, inedible, and indoor and outdoor beauty concepts.
By combining these capabilities, Semrez strengthens its position at the intersection of science, claims, and consumer demand for a long and healthy life, translating its purpose-driven strategy into action: “We innovate in health, well-being and beauty for the everyday life of the whole family.”
Strategic evolution for the new era of “connected care”.
Consumers are increasingly seeking care solutions that deliver reliable efficacy and meaningful sensory moments whether applied topically, taken orally or experienced through holistic routines. Care is becoming more integrated, how people look, feel and support their well-being throughout the day. For consumers, this creates a growing need for complete, market-ready concepts that link scientific performance to lifestyle.
With the Care and Wellness division, Semrez is shifting from category-based offerings to a connected care approach. The division is organizing five business units to unlock synergies, improve speed to market and expand innovation in beauty, personal care, biotech, supplements and pet health. This creates new opportunities to shape subjective, immersive and insider beauty solutions that are rooted in effectiveness, sensory skills and scientific depth.
“Creating care and well-being is a natural next step in our evolution,” said Dr. Jean-Yves Parisot, CEO of Summers. “By combining our capabilities in cosmetic ingredients and health solutions, we deliver integrated innovations that help our customers create the future of care, to help consumers pursue healthy longevity. This division reinforces our commitment to scientific excellence, sustainable growth and long-term value creation.”
Bringing ‘harmony’ to science and experience
Combining beauty and health, care and well-being aims to translate advanced science into solutions that support daily balance. From skin health to the gut microbiome, providing support for holistic well-being, the division focuses on innovations that connect measurable efficiency with meaningful consumer experiences. Through this integrated approach, Semrez enables customers to deliver solutions that bring science to life in everyday life.
Leveraging Symrise’s global R&D community, building footprint and long-standing customer partnerships, the division accelerates innovations that advance health, wellness and beauty around the world.
A department to inspire the future of care
“The creation of the Care and Wellbeing Division reflects how care is evolving across industries,” said Timothy Kenny, Director of the Care and Wellbeing Division. “Consumers no longer think in terms of single categories, they expect solutions that support beauty, health and well-being together. By combining our capabilities, we can help our customers create innovative concepts that deliver both proven effectiveness and meaningful consumer experiences.”
