German cosmetic ingredient supplier Symrise has launched a version of its SymDiol 68 multifunctional with 100% ‘green’ raw materials.
SymDiol 68 green consists of two 1,2-alkanediols, caprylyl glycol and 1,2-hexanediol and is suitable for green formulations.
The upgraded ingredient is said to moisturise the skin, stabilise o/w emulsions due to smaller droplet sizes and improve product protection.
The high-performance mixture is water soluble and cold processable, and it features clear, colourless and nearly odourless characteristics.
“With the green variants of caprylyl glycol and 1,2-hexanediol, we can replace the components of the very successful synergistic mixture SymDiol 68,” said Dr. Balint Koroskenyi, senior global product manager at Symrise.
“We are now offering customers a 100% green version,” he added.
