CANADA: Gattefossé Canada Inc. has inked an agreement with Connect Chemicals GmbH to be the exclusive distributor for Glory Biomaterial’s natural, Cosmos/Ecocert certified bio-propanediol in Canada.
1,3-propanediol is an excellent natural alternative to petroleum-based glycols (propylene glycol, butylene glycol or methyl propanediol) and glycerine. In cosmetics, it is a multipurpose ingredient, acting as an emollient, humectant, booster, solvent, viscosity enhancer and carrier for actives. Further, 1,3-propanediol is also miscible with the majority of glycols and alcohols, as well as water, and gives better performance in both skin and hair moisturization when compared to standard glycols.
Well suited to sensitive skin, even at high concentration, 1,3-propanediol meets the many standards of modern cosmetic formulations.
The agreement, which is effective immediately, enables Gattefossé to expand its natural product offering for Canadian customers.
“As a well-known supplier of naturally based ingredients, the philosophy of our company fits well with that of Connect Chemicals. Adding propanediol to our Canadian portfolio allows us to bring a more rounded natural offering to our customers in the region,” said Eric Brun, president and CEO of Gattefossé USA and Canada.
