At the 59th Sepawa congress in Fulda, Germany, BASF showcased its holistic concepts and wide-ranging portfolio of ingredients for the personal care, home care and I&I markets.
The personal care portfolio on display at this year’s exhibition included a new, environmentally compatible conditioner compound that was developed in response to the vibrant eco-beauty trend, which continues to spark demand for naturally derived personal care products that do not compromise on efficacy and performance. In this respect Plantaquat NC offers effective hair breakage protection, efficient reduction of split-ends and an exceptional sensorial profile. It consists solely of renewable and biodegradable raw materials and contains a balanced combination of an emulsifier, a consistency agent and a conditioning agent.
BASF also unveiled another new product that is derived exclusively from renewable raw materials: the micro-emulsion Lamesoft OD. It provides body cleansing products with very finely dispersed oil, components of which remain on the skin after washing. By this oil deposition, it supports the natural skin protection, leaves a soft and smooth skin feel and is also ideally suited for use in sensitive skin products. Thanks to the micro-emulsion, transparent or opaque formulations can be easily prepared and even essential oils can be solubilised.
