Our Personal Care Team hosts BioNest Seminar in Hanoi

Exploring Active Skincare for Sun Protection

On 21 May, Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients Vietnam hosted a technical seminar in collaboration with our key principal, Bionest, under the theme: “Maximizing Sunscreen Potential with Active Skincare Ingredients.”

Held at the Grand Mercure Hotel in Hanoi, the event welcomed professionals from the personal care industry for an in-depth look at modern sun care and skincare solutions. The session included opening remarks from our senior management (Khun Supaporn M. and Khun Ratana V.), followed by in-depth presentations by Bionest’s Mr. Javier Perez (Global Business Director) and Ms. Debra Tung (Asia Pacific Sales Director).

Attendees explored the science behind SPF boosters and the role of active ingredients in enhancing sunscreen and skincare formulations. A popular highlight was the interactive prototype station, where guests tested sample formulations and experienced the performance of Bionest’s leading ingredients:

  • CeraSkin P: A ceramide-based ingredient that helps rebuild intercellular lipids, strengthening the skin barrier to prevent moisture loss and protect against environmental stress.
  • SunCat DE: An encapsulated chemical sunscreen offering broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection with improved stability and reduced irritation.
  • Biostine Series: A multifunctional range that supports anti-aging, firming, hydration, and skin barrier health.

To close the event, a short quiz reviewed key learnings, with eight special prizes awarded to top scorers.

Several attendees noted that the seminar came at exactly the right time, aligning with their current formulation work in sun care. One participant shared that the live discussions helped clarify technical concepts that were difficult to fully grasp from documents alone. Another mentioned that the insights gained would be useful in helping their team finalize upcoming sunscreen projects. Many also found the content especially relevant given the seasonal market demand, and appreciated the focus on practical application.

Special thanks to Ms. Trang and Mr. Trung from our personal care team for their excellent translation support throughout the seminar — and to all our colleagues who helped make the event a success. We also extend our thanks to everyone who joined us in Hanoi!

Our team in Vietnam looks forward to exploring new opportunities in the personal care space and continuing conversations sparked by the seminar.
