Evonik’s holistic ingredient and formulation expertise offers unique, tailored solutions.
Evonik is presenting its latest innovations at in-cosmetics Global in Amsterdam, from 8 to 10 April. The speciality chemicals provider is highlighting its innovations and holistic expertise, which help to meet customer demand for high-performance, eco-friendly personal care solutions.
“Together with our partners, we are redefining the soul and science of beauty to offer more high-performance, sustainable solutions that add even more value for consumers. I invite our customers and prospects to come and talk to us and find out how we can work together,” said Ute Schick, head of Evonik’s Care Solutions business line.
A legacy of expertise and innovation
Evonik is leveraging its biotechnology platform to drive sustainable innovation with biosolutions such as biosurfactants, biopolymers, vegan collagen and ceramides. Last year the company opened a new plant for cosmetic emollients that are manufactured using an enzymatic process. This process can help reduce the climate footprint of emollients by more than 60% compared to a chemical process.
Evonik is also playing a key role in developing sophisticated, evidence-based products. It has adopted a holistic ‘one personal care’ approach, which draws on the company’s 90 years of experience in cosmetic ingredients and 30-year legacy in active ingredients. Through this Evonik offers customised, innovative solutions that are tailored to customer needs, no matter if it is a large company or a start-up. Evonik’s Skin Institute is a good example of this approach. It leverages a global network of skin science experts to provide specialised support on claim-substantiated cosmetics.
Evonik’s in-cosmetics highlights
- TEGOSOFT® BC MB is an eco-friendly, natural emollient that can be used in sun care and other skin applications. It is vegan, fully based on renewable resources, biodegradable and produced via an eco-efficient enzymatic process. This gives it a lower climate footprint compared to the market standard.
- RHEANCE® D50 is a vegan and cruelty-free multifunctional biosurfactant made from renewable feedstocks sourced in Europe. It is manufactured using an eco-friendly fermentation process and is suitable for certified natural cosmetics.
- Vecollage® Fortify GP is a skin-identical, vegan collagen polypeptide. It features a unique dual anti-ageing mechanism that targets age-related collagen loss. Using the power of epigenetics, it offers anti-ageing performance at a minimal use level and can complement skincare routines during aesthetic procedures.
- dermosoft® GPT MB is a natural multifunctional antimicrobial wetting agent. It broadens options for alternative preservation, while respecting the skin microbiome. It is fully based on renewable resources and produced via an eco-friendly catalysed process.
- SKINLIPIX® HydraShield combines plant-oil-based ceramides and moisturisers into an innovative ceramide stabilising system. This unique technology simplifies formulation while enhancing skin barrier function, moisturisation and hydration.
- CapilMax® features a natural active designed to deliver instant hair thickening through a unique blend of amino acids and powerful extracts. MaquiGlow®, a cutting-edge antioxidant derived from the maqui fruit, showcases the rich biodiversity of Patagonia, Argentina. This innovative natural active enhances skin luminosity and promotes an even skin tone.
Detailed information on the above innovations is available at the Evonik Booth 1A20. During the show, Evonik is also presenting a Technical Seminar on ‘Biotech in Beauty: Vegan & Skin Identical Collagen’ and giving a talk on TEGOSOFT® BC MB in the Sustainability Zone.
