A&E Connock has unveiled a series of new initiatives designed to assist cosmetics formulators making the transition from micro beads to natural ingredients in their exfoliant products. The latest range offers an increased variety of functions and possibilities to the formulator, from the light abrasive effect of ground loofah to the more aggressive scrub qualities of pumice. Beads derived from jojoba and castor which, while white in colour, provide a natural and environmentally sustainable option, are also available in a variety of sizes.
“With many manufacturers committing to phase out the use of plastic micro beads over the next few years, we are ideally placed to help formulators identify and integrate suitable natural alternatives,” commented Tim Connock, A&E Connock’s MD.
A vibrant brochure showcasing the wide variety of characteristics and colours of ingredients available in the range has been sent to over 5000 buyers and R&D personnel across the world and a new natural exfoliants ‘micro website’ where formulators can order free samples online is now live at www.connock.co.uk.
