Partnership for volatile, biodegradable emollients

Biesterfeld Spezialchemie will offer biodegradable emollients from Biosynthis for the cosmetics and cleaning sectors.

The raw materials from the French manufacturer will primarily serve as a natural alternative to synthetic emollients, and will be distributed by Biesterfeld in the DACH region, in Eastern Europe and the Iberian Peninsula.

 

Biosynthis’ portfolio comprises a series of products that are light in texture, suitable for every application in cosmetics (be it in skin care, hair care, or decorative cosmetics), and have a pleasant smell. Two highlights are Vegelight and Viscoplast. 

Vegelight is a line of products launched in 2009. This is a mix of different coconut alkanes and can be used as a replacement for volatile mineral oil-based oils and polymers, as a dispersant for pigments and mineral filters, or as a solubilising agent for elastomers. The COSMOScertified raw material has a smoothing effect in hair care and also serves as a styling product.
