Boldpurity Named Global Top‑5 Skincare Finalist at BeautyMatter Awards 2026
Boldpurity®, a clinical skincare brand headquartered in Hyderabad, India, was announced as one of five global finalists in the Best Use of Technology (Brands) category at the 2026 BeautyMatter Awards. The brand, co‑founded by cosmetic scientist Khatija Shabana (M.Pharm, Certified Cosmetic Scientist) and Syed Fouzan, is the first Indian skincare company to reach the finalist list in this category, joining four established international technology‑led brands.
The submission was built around two proprietary delivery systems, both conceived, developed, stability‑tested, and manufactured entirely in‑house, and each is the subject of patent filings in India:
1. SkinReset™ PDRN Serum – Utilises nano‑scale, salmon‑derived PDRN reduced from kilodalton to nanoparticle dimensions and encapsulated in a two‑layer system. The outer layer releases the active immediately on application, while the inner layer provides a gradual release over eight hours. Development of the carrier chemistry and completion of stability work required more than 12 months.
2. CellMorph™ 500 Spicule Serum – Features precision micron spicules engineered down to 0.9 µm, representing a roughly 444‑fold reduction from the typical 400 µm size used in spicule‑based products, while maintaining structural integrity. Each spicule is coated with a proprietary apple‑stem‑cell bioactive layer, combining physical texture support with skin‑conditioning actives. Bringing this pharmaceutical‑style precision to a cosmetic product demanded 18 months of process engineering.
Boldpurity’s research and manufacturing facility in Hyderabad was established less than two years ago, reflecting the company’s strategy of building a laboratory first and then solving delivery challenges that the broader industry had accepted as unsolvable at cosmetic scale. As Khatija Shabana stated, “Most skincare brands buy a formula and build a story around it. We did the opposite. We built a laboratory, then spent 18 months solving delivery problems that the industry had accepted as unsolvable at cosmetic scale.”
Syed Fouzan added, “This is not a regional or emerging‑market award. The category is judged on formulation innovation, delivery engineering and validation, with the same yardstick applied to every entrant. That is exactly the standard we wanted to be measured against.”
India’s skincare market is among the fastest‑growing globally, yet most domestic brands rely on imported or licensed formulation technology. Boldpurity’s placement as a finalist provides an early signal that original, patent‑pending delivery science can be developed in India and evaluated on equal terms with the world’s most technically advanced brands.
The BeautyMatter Awards, which recognize excellence across the global beauty industry, select finalists through an independent merit‑based panel. Winners will be announced on December 7, 2026 in New York City.
