Cognis Care Chemicals and Laboratoires Sérobiologiques announced that 63 Cognis products have been evaluated and certified as natural ingredients by the Natural Products Association (NPA), the oldest and largest non-profit organization dedicated to the natural products industry in the U.S.
“For Cognis Care Chemicals, natural renewable raw materials provide the backbone of our product portfolio—from primary surfactants to active ingredients,” said Josef Koester, the Cognis Care Chemicals North American director of marketing, “Our expertise in nature-based chemistry is truly unique, with more than 160 years of experience in the development of products and concepts based on natural, renewable raw materials. Working with the NPA was a natural fit.”
Cognis products approved by NPA cover a wide range of products including innovative, high-tech actives from Laboratoires Sérobiologiques and specialty chemicals from Care Chemicals such as: Eumulgin SG, a high performance powerful emulsifier made from plant derived materials. Euperlan Green, a green pearlizing wax dispersion that is vegetable based and free from ethylene oxide and amine feedstock. Plantasil Micro, a hair care additive for green shampoos with good conditioning properties. APG surfactants that are based on renewable, plant-derived raw materials such as vegetable oil and starch and can be used in personal care formulations such as mild shampoos and bath and shower gels. Euphoryl Ω-3, an active that combines Sacha inchi oil that is rich in Omega-3 and acts as a skin antidepressant, and Schinus terebinthifolius (pink pepper) extract, a stimulant and invigorating agent with warm and sensual perfume notes.
“We are really excited to work closely with the NPA because we’re committed to giving our customers the information they need to choose products that are right for them,” noted Denise Petersen, marketing manager for Cognis Care Chemicals North America.
