The Personal Care product line of Evonik introduced a unique portfolio of new personal care products and technologies at the 2010 NYSCC Suppliers' Day in Edison (Booth No. 204). Following the trend of sustainability, Evonik is providing a broad portfolio of natural and biodegradable products, such as the vegetable based emulsifier Tego Care PSC 3, according to the company.
Applicable for a wide pH range, it allows green preservation with organic acids. Its application profile combines mildness, robustness, versatility and cost-efficiency with smooth and caring aesthetics. As environmental awareness grows, more focus is being placed on new and effective ways to reduce emissions and conserve energy in the production process. In response to this growing need, Evonik commercializes biotechnologically derived cosmetic esters. This production route uses 60% less energy than conventional chemical processes and reduces the formation of pollutants by up to 88%, said the company.
A prime example of these products is Tegosoft OER, a new enzymatically produced, vegetable-based emollient with caring properties and a smooth, non-oily skin feel. It is easy to formulate and can be incorporated into both oil-in-water and water-in-oil systems. Anti-aging products now constitute a megatrend, and in response Evonik has launched a novel active ingredient for such applications.
To the business line¹s actives range, which included moisturizing HyaCare and the tight junction strengthening HyaCare 50, Evonik has added a topical wrinkle smoother, HyaCare Filler CL. It is based on a unique cross-linked polysaccharide made from fermentation-derived hyaluronic acid. HyaCare Filler CL contributes to the reduction of facial wrinkles and fine lines, and increases the elasticity of the skin. Because of its high water-binding and strong short-term moisturization properties, it effectively supports skin hydration, said the company. It can be used for all anti-aging applications where an instant effect as well as moisturization is desired.
To broaden its selection of botanically-based ingredients and formulation possibilities, Evonik has added another plant extract to its portfolio. Tego Xymenynic is a highly purified phytochemical compound extracted from sandalwood seeds. It relies on the efficacy of xymenynic acid to boost cellular detoxification mechanisms and to alleviate adverse symptoms of skin inflammation. The beneficial effects provided by Tego Xymenynic include increased skin firmness and a minimized appearance of cellulite.
