8 Best Clariant Alternatives & Competitors (2026)

BASF supplies a wide range of cosmetic active ingredients including peptides and antioxidants used in anti-aging formulations. Its industrial scale and regulatory teams give formulators faster access to documented ingredients than early-stage developers like Lygg can currently match.

Croda develops and manufactures specialty ingredients for skincare with established sustainability and clinical support programs. Brands seeking proven supply chains often choose Croda over smaller startups still building their first commercial batches.

Symrise offers an extensive portfolio of anti-aging actives backed by global manufacturing and fragrance synergies. Formulators needing both functional ingredients and sensory expertise frequently compare Symrise directly with niche innovators like Lygg.

DSM provides vitamins, peptides, and retinoid alternatives with published clinical data for anti-aging claims. Companies requiring substantiated actives at commercial volumes often select DSM over pre-revenue developers.

Ashland produces film formers, rheology modifiers, and active ingredients used in premium skincare. Its formulation labs and regulatory dossiers make it a practical alternative when Lygg's molecules are still in early testing.

Evonik manufactures specialty lipids and peptides for cosmetic applications with strong process chemistry expertise. Brands scaling anti-aging products beyond lab quantities regularly evaluate Evonik alongside smaller ingredient startups.

Givaudan Active Beauty focuses on natural and biotech-derived actives for skin aging. Its fragrance integration and global extraction network provide options that differ from Lygg's narrow early pipeline.
