Clariant unveils naturally derived preservation blend for next-generation formulations

In today's conscious beauty landscape, consumers are increasingly aware of the ingredients in their personal care products and their impact on both human health and the environment. This is driving demand for the cosmetics industry to do "more with less", delivering high-performance products while minimizing the use of controversial ingredients.

Nipaguard™ SCE Vita offers a powerful, modern solution that enhances product protection while aligning with consumer expectations for safety and sustainability. Based on 100% renewable Sorbitan Caprylate, it is synergistically combined with naturally derived, rather than fossil based, benzoic acid.

This new blend represents an innovative modern preservation system to create next-generation formulations that strike the perfect balance between efficacy, safety, and environmental responsibility. It is ideal for customers looking to develop 100% Renewable Carbon Index (RCI) formulations.

Besides offering broad-spectrum protection to a broad range of applications and formats, Nipaguard™ SCE Vita is easy to use, safe, and effective at low concentrations. Extensive testing shows that the new formula meets the highest standard on the market, giving formulators complete confidence in its effectiveness to deliver the same performance as traditional preservatives.

'At Clariant we are proud to be a market leader in solutions for the preservation of cosmetics. Nipaguard™ SCE Vita contains no controversial preservatives and marks a significant step in our broader commitment to address the needs of health- and sustainability- conscious consumers and brands at the same time as creating value for customers with renewable-carbon, high-performance products,' said Karolina Scierski, Clariant's portfolio manager for preservation.

As the environmental, health, and social impacts of purchasing decisions come to the forefront, customers increasingly seek products that align with their own commitments to sustainable practices. Clariant's innovations in the personal care and cosmetics industries reflect these values, addressing both market demands and sustainability goals.
