Dr Jack Guth passed away on Thursday 28 November, after a short battle with a rare bone marrow disorder.
Dr Guth was Botaneco’s vice president of R&D for the past 7 years, and developed the oleosome technology in the personal care industry. Dr Guth had a deep knowledge of chemistry and formulations, having begun his career with Johnson and Johnson before switching to the supplier side with Lonza, Inolex and Botaneco. He was widely admired in the industry and his passing will be keenly felt by many people who worked with him over the years.
