Evonik (stand F30) has made significant progress towards this goal by adopting sustainability as a guiding business principle, leveraging technology platforms, creating more system solutions, and implementing an ambitious acquisition strategy. In 2021, the latter included the acquisition of the Swiss plant extract producer Botanica (stand U20) and the cosmetic delivery systems company Infinitec Activos. Speed of innovation has also led to numerous new product launches, which are being highlighted during In-Cosmetics Global.
New products include:
• Net-zero emollient TegoSoft LO MB for everyday skincare applications is a natural alternative to mineral oil. It is 100% vegetable-based from a renewable feedstock and is produced through green chemistry (biocatalysis). This carbon neutral solution creates a skin feel comparable to mineral oil, helping formulators meet the demands of their consumers for more sustainable solutions without sacrificing sensory benefits.
• New ceramides and sphingolipids. In the past six months Evonik has used its expertise in ceramides to launch four new products: Sphinox Defenda, Sphinox Lift, SK-Influx Evolve MB, and Rheasome CeraBoost. The latter is based on a combination of a natural, biotech-derived delivery system with active ingredients, capable of boosting the skin's own ceramide synthesis and replenishing skin lipids from within.
Evonik’s active ingredients portfolio is expanding to include botanical extracts, cholesterol specialities and peptides. Through its acquisition of Infinitec Activos, the company says it has created the largest and most advanced delivery system portfolio for the personal care and beauty industry.
For product protection, a new digital tool on the platform intoBeauty allows tailor-made preservation recommendations that suit individual cosmetic formulations. A new technology concept is also available for natural preservation solutions for challenging systems.
The broad portfolio of Aeorosil, Sipernat and Spherilex enables the production of innovative and sustainable products; e.g. "waterless" formulations which require less or even no water. The technology supports a reduction of water consumption. Formulations are used in solid care products such as dry shampoo and lipstick, and in special powders that consumers can mix with water via a refill concept; e.g. in soap, shampoo and shower gel.
