IFF reveals fresh findings on Aurist AGC cationic biopolymer

IFF has published new findings on the effectiveness of its Aurist AGC biodegradable cationic biopolymer in body wash products.

Initially offered as a hair conditioning polymer, the ingredient has now been found to also improve skin roughness feel and rinsability in skin cleansing and body wash applications.

A clinical study aimed to determine the sensory benefits Aurist AGC brings to skin cleansing formulations.

The results showed that panelists experienced a significant reduction in skin roughness, and a smooth and silky residual feel after using cleansers containing the ingredient.

The study also evaluated rinsability, and the panelists observed a substantially reduced rinsing time when using formulations containing Aurist AGC.

IFF said the study underscored the ability of its proprietary Designed Enzymatic Biopolymer technology to deliver scalable, performance-oriented, sustainable personal care solutions.

“We are dedicated to assessing the untapped potential of our ingredients, adapting to evolving market dynamics and empowering our customers to deliver innovative benefits across many applications,” said IFF personal care director Johan Jansén-Storbacka.

“With this clinical data, we can extend Aurist AGC’s transformative impact further into the skincare space,” he added.
