Symrise has launched SymSave 5E, a skincare formulation. This is the liquid variant of SymSave H, which was launched in crystalline form in 2013.
The company said that many customers requested a version of SymSave H they could process more easily. The water-soluble blend can be included into a formula without requiring any heat.
SymSave 5E consists of only multifunctional ingredients and has a natural origin content of 60%. Potential applications are envisaged in emulsions, gels, wet wipes, shower gels and shampoos. Clinical tests have also found that it “respects the microbiome”, Symrise said.
Advantages claimed for the new formula included antioxidant and soothing properties, improved skin moisturization and a better formulation aesthetics in general. It also protects the product against microbial contamination, helping with broad-spectrum protection against fungi and bacteria.
