Behind the Beauty Scenes…

beautyjagd x ProTec Ingredia Beauty serial story

Ad // I’ve been developing a beauty serial story in cooperation with ProTec Ingredia for over four years. Our journey was leading us to the heart of the cosmetics industry – because without active ingredients there wouldn’t be any beauty products.

We have been publishing monthly epsiodes since 2019, offering plenty of behind-the-scenes insights into the beauty industry, from visits to seaweed farmers in Brittany to interviews with industry players.
