The Consumer Specialties business unit of Evonik (Stand No. M20) will introduce some innovative products and technologies for skin and hair care.

Following the trend of sustainability, the business line provides a broad portfolio of natural and biodegradable products, such as a new purely-vegetable based emulsifier, which is applicable for a wide pH-range, allowing 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 placed on new and effective ways to reduce emissions and conserve energy in the production process. In response to this growing need, Evonik Personal Care maintains it is the only supplier to offer 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%. A new enzymatically produced emollient with caring properties and a smooth, non-oily skin feel will be presented at In-Cosmetics. This product is easy-to-formulate and can be incorporated into both O/W and W/O-systems.

In response to the new megatrend of anti-aging products, Evonik Personal Care will launch novel active ingredients for such applications. Two lectures on the topic will be presented by Evonik experts: Dr. Mike Farwick is presenting the “Anti-Aging: A Multifunctional Concept based on Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid” on April 14th at 3 p.m. (Innovation Theatre 2) and Dr. Juergen Meyer will introduce “A new versatile and costefficient O/W emulsifier for natural cosmetics and beyond” on April 13th at 2.30 p.m. (Innovation Theatre 1).
