Innovation zone
Discover 4 innovation zone boxes:
- Stabileze™ s polymer is a unique, new-to-the-world starch-based multipurpose polymer that excels at formulation viscosity control and emulsion stabilization with suspension benefits- even at low dosage, delivering a stunning sensorial experience that will delight consumers in every application.
- Eternight™ biofunctional features A.I.-guided Iris Pallida root extract that helps support the concept of [3R] longevity science (rest, restore, reverse) through optimized nighttime mitobiology™. Clinically tested to rejuvenate the appearance of 8 visible signs of aging, eternight™ helps skin look more youthful and illuminated. After one month, perceived skin age, assessed by A.I. facial scanner, appeared up to 4 years younger.
- Effisin™ em natural multifunctional, is a 100% nature derived, water-soluble antimicrobial booster that works across many formulation types. Its wide pH compatibility and very low use level help formulators standardize preservation systems, reducing cost, complexity, and reformulation effort.
- N-hance™ ccg 75 cationic guar is designed to deliver clean aesthetics and medium to high conditioning performance in clear, surfactant-based formulations. This biodegradable, nature-derived polymer maintains excellent optical clarity while providing efficient wet and dry conditioning without heavy build up, making it ideal for lightweight, transparent shampoos and cleansers. Substantive to hair and skin yet gentle and sustainable, n hance™ ccg 75 works seamlessly across sulfate-free and conventional rinse-off systems, enabling formulators to create crystal clear products that visibly communicate lightness, care, and performance.
