Just as in food and home products, consumers are very curious about and conscious of the ingredients in their beauty products. They are reading labels, asking questions and relying on various sources to help them understand the pros and cons of chosen ingredients. Many companies in the personal care industry are striving to create components and products that fit these changing criteria.
Minasolve, the French cosmetic ingredient supplier, has made strides in this area by introducing MinaCare Pentiol Green+. This is a corncob, sugar cane bagasse-based version of pentylene glycol. It is odorless, colorless and water soluble, according to the company. The ingredient has been granted EcoCert and Cosmos certification in the EU and received the Green Ingredient Silver Award at In-Cosmetics in 2014.
This multifunctional ingredient is an alternative to conventional preservative for skin care, hair care, makeup and toiletries. It has proven efficacy against yeasts, molds and bacteria. It is also a skin conditioner that exhibits a long lasting skin moisturizing effect comparable to that of glycerin. Finally, it is also an easy to formulate solubilizer. The ingredient is created in the US and is competitively priced with synthetic pentylene glycol, according to the company.
