# AI-Assisted Skincare Ingredient Experiences Givaudan Active Beauty & Haut.AI Highlight Innovations By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-04-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skincare-ingredient References: [cosmeticsbusiness](https://cosmeticsbusiness.com/givaudan-active-beauty-and-haut-ai-showcase-ai-powered)  [Givaudan Active Beauty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vectorhyal), a developer of high-precision cosmetic ingredients, has partnered with artificial intelligence company [Haut.AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-skin-analysis) to showcase its latest active skincare ingredient innovations at the in-cosmetics Global 2026 trade show. Givaudan Active Beauty's presentation approach is noteworthy as it uses [AI-powered skin analysis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haut-ai-skin-chat) and SkinGPT generative simulation technology to let visitors virtually test products on their own faces. Through a live facial scan, attendees can upload a selfie and see a photorealistic simulation of how a specific skincare ingredient — such as the newly unveiled PrimalHyal NeuroYouth, which targets nerve fibre regeneration and neuronal function related to skin aging — might alter visible skin parameters over time. The AI Skin Expert feature, on the other hand, provides personalized ingredient recommendations based on individual skin characteristics. By generating personalized, data-driven simulations from a simple selfie, this technology bridges the gap between laboratory claims and real-world expectations.
