Vantage announced the newest addition to their product line with the Lipomulse Eco Series.
Green and sustainable non-ethoxylated emulsifiers are a key area of growth in the personal care market. Vantage has been focused on the development of a new EO-free emulsifier platform that contains products with a broad range of formulation applications, at reasonable cost when compared to alternatives currently found in the market. With a focus on developing several green and sustainable materials, Vantage has now developed an emulsifier platform with a range of HLBs under the Lipomulse Eco brand name. These materials are naturally-derived and non-ethoxylated.
The new molecules utilise Dupont Tate & Lyle’s Zemea propanediol as the naturally-derived starting raw material. Zemea propanediol is made from the fermentation of a renewable resource vs. alternative glycols which are derived from petroleum. A peer-reviewed life cycle assessment shows that from ‘cradle-to-gate’, the production of biobased propanediol consumes 40% less energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 40% vs. petroleum-based glycols. Zemea has been certified by the USDA as 100% biobased, making this a key raw material in the Lipomulse Eco line.
