Cargill showcases sustainable ingredient duo

Cargill (1D70) is showcasing BotaniDesign and Actigum Care to help personal care manufacturers meet rising consumer demand for eco-conscious choices.

BotaniDesign is a groundbreaking emollient that serves as a derived natural and plant-based alternative to conventional petroleum jelly, embodying a commitment to sustainability, efficacy, and innovation. 

One of BotaniDesign's standout feature is its exceptional compatibility with a spectrum of personal care ingredients.

From emulsifiers and surfactants to rheology modifiers and preservatives, this emollient effortlessly integrates into formulations, offering a versatile and efficient solution.

Furthermore, as a composite one-pot synthesized ingredient, BotaniDesig  exhibits robust stability and extended shelf life as compared to natural wax/oil blends currently on the market.

BotaniDesign has been recognized as a finalist in the Health & Beauty Care Solution category of the Edison Awards, the overall winner of which will be announced on 18 April.

The Edison Awards recognize some of the most innovative products around the world.

Meanwhile, Actigum Care stands out as a formidable alternative to traditional petro-based polymers, offering a remarkable 94.5% derived natural composition.

This groundbreaking product brings together the unique properties of modified starch and sclerotium gum to deliver a new rheology modifier that not only matches but surpasses the functionality of its synthetic counterparts, all while enhancing sensoriality.

This innovative modifier is readily biodegradable, reinforcing Cargill Beauty's dedication to sustainability.

It also proudly carries Kosher and Halal certifications, ensuring its compatibility with diverse consumer preferences and lifestyles, including vegan applications.
