PARSIPPANY, NJ., March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- New innovations in science and engineering are redefining the beauty industry today as the demand and expectations grow for high-performance skincare produced sustainably. At the forefront of this innovation, Bloomage has recently been recognized for its pioneering work in bioactive ingredients at the 2025 Cosmetics & Toiletries Allē Awards, one of the most prestigious honors in cosmetic science.
The Bloomcollaâ„¢ Col III Recombinant Collagen â…¢ from Bloomage won in the Active Cosmetic Ingredient: Skin, Body, and Bath/Hygiene award category, recognition of its outstanding efficacy and innovation in skincare. Another Bloomage product Bloomsurfactâ„¢ Sodium Surfactin, a biodegradable biosurfactant, was named a finalist in the Base Cosmetic Ingredient category, highlighting Bloomage's leadership in sustainable beauty solutions.
The Allē Awards: recognizing excellence in ingredient innovation
Hosted by Cosmetics & Toiletries, the Allē Awards are a hallmark for scientific achievement in the beauty and personal care industry. By spotlighting pioneering ingredients, formulation advancements, and new technologies, the Allē Awards are a showcase of the leading developments shaping the future of skincare.
"This recognition reaffirms our commitment to developing cutting-edge, high-efficacy ingredients that align with the evolving needs of brands and consumers," said Lois Lu, General Manager of Bloomage US "As the skincare industry moves toward more precise, effective, and sustainable formulations, we are proud to play a role in driving this transformation."
Revolutionizing anti-aging with Bloomcollaâ„¢ Col III
The global anti-aging skincare market is projected to surpass $120 billion by 2030, driven by growing consumer interest in clinically proven, next-generation skincare solutions. Innovative bioactive ingredients from Bloomage such as its Type III Collagen, Bloomcollaâ„¢ Col III, are increasingly found in anti-aging skincare products on the global market.
Type III Collagen, often referred to as "youth collagen", is fundamental to skin elasticity, repair, and overall resilience. Bloomcollaâ„¢ Col III is developed through a precision fermentation process, ensuring exceptional purity, bioavailability, and efficacy. Unlike traditional animal-derived collagen, this innovation offers a clean and scientifically optimized solution for stimulating skin renewal, reducing inflammation, and reinforcing the skin barrier.
"Collagen remains one of the most essential ingredients in anti-aging science, but not all collagens are created equal," Lu noted. "Bloomcolla™ Col III represents a new era in collagen innovation—delivering superior efficacy with a cleaner, more sustainable approach."
Bloomsurfactâ„¢: A surfactant that's sustainable
Sustainability is increasingly a priority for both purchasers and consumers of cleansing formulas. Bloomsurfactâ„¢ Sodium Surfactin from Bloomage addresses this need as a biodegradable, high-performance surfactant that balances efficacy with reduced environmental impacts.
Derived from microbial fermentation, Bloomsurfactâ„¢ offers exceptional emulsification, mildness, and skin compatibility, making it particularly well-suited for sensitive skin, baby care, and clean beauty applications. Unlike conventional petroleum-based surfactants with concerns about skin irritation and environmental impacts, Bloomsurfactâ„¢ provides an innovative biological alternative without compromising performance.
"The shift toward more sustainable and skin-friendly cleansing ingredients is gaining momentum," Lu added. "Bloomsurfactâ„¢ enables brands to formulate with confidence, offering consumers effective yet gentle products that align with the growing preference for environmentally conscious beauty."
As Bloomage continues to expand its presence in the US market, the company remains focused on scientific research, ingredient innovation, and sustainable solutions that empower brands to develop next-generation personal care products.
"The Allē Awards celebrate the innovations that will define the future of beauty, and we are honored to be among this year's recipients," Lu said. "We will continue to push boundaries, ensuring that our high-performance, responsibly developed ingredients set new benchmarks for the industry."

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda reveals that Vietnam is becoming an increasingly popular year-end travel choice for families in the region and beyond. Based on searches made between September and November 2025 for stays during December 2025 and January 2026, Agoda recorded a 30% increase in family travel interest to Vietnam compared with the same period the previous year.
Agoda data shows that Vietnam is attracting more international families than ever this winter holiday season. South Koreans take the lead as the top market interested in traveling to Vietnam in December and January, with families from India, Singapore, Australia, and Malaysia rounding out the top five. Notably, Agoda reported that Indian families showcased the highest growth in travel interest to Vietnam during this period, with a 186% increase in searches. Malaysians also, are expressing strong growth in interest, with a 74% increase in searches, highlighting Vietnam's appeal as a family destination in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Families are choosing Vietnam for its storied culture and cuisine, diverse landscapes, and abundance of family-friendly resorts and attractions.
Phu Quoc Island leads as the most sought-after destination among international family travelers with a 47% increase in searches, popular for its sandy beaches, calm waters, and nature parks ideal for multi-generation vacations. Da Nang follows with 42% growth in travel interest, noted for its beaches, soft adventure activities, and access to Ba Na Hills theme park. Nha Trang comes in third place, remaining a favorite for its long coastline, family-oriented resorts, and island experiences. In fourth place, Ho Chi Minh City appeals with its vibrant food scene, entertainment complexes, and day trips to the Mekong Delta. In the north, Hanoi continues to draw families with its cultural landmarks, museums, and festive atmosphere, rounding out the top five most family-friendly year-end destinations in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, although Vietnamese families traditionally travel less internationally at the end of the year – typically preferring to wait for the Lunar New Year - China is becoming a noticeable exception. Among the top 20 outbound destinations preferred by Vietnamese families during the December-January period, searches for Shanghai increased 58%, while Beijing increased 59%. This shift is supported by the launch of new direct routes between Hanoi and selected Chinese cities earlier this year, making end-of-year overseas trips more accessible than ever.
Vu Ngoc Lam, Country Director at Agoda, said: "It is wonderful to see Vietnam increasingly chosen as an end-of-year holiday destination for families from across Asia and beyond. Agoda's data shows that travelers are recognizing Vietnam's family-friendly appeal, which further strengthen its position on the global travel map. As more families plan their festive-season or year-end getaways, we are delighted to support them through Agoda's simple, intuitive platform and our wide range of stays, flights, and activities."
With over 6 million properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities, all bookable in one seamless itinerary, Agoda helps families plan memorable year-end holidays, whether they choose a peaceful beach break, a cultural city escape, or an international exploration to mark the close of the year.
