Momentive Performance Materials has taken the wraps off Harmonie NatuVel gel – a 100% biobased elastomer gel – at in-cosmetics Global 2025 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
This breakthrough innovation, designed for natural formulations and clean beauty, offers exceptional sensory and optical benefits, including soft focus, blurring effects, and a luxurious powdery-dry feel.
Attendees of in-cosmetics Global are invited to stand #2A30 and “Feel it to Believe it”.
The innovation will also be showcased at the Sensory Zone and during a Technical Seminar on 10 April at 3.40pm, presented by Andrea Tomlinson, Naturals Marketing Lead.
The solution is the latest addition to the Harmonie product range, which combines Momentive’s world-leading technical expertise with plant and mineral feedstocks.
This winning combination delivers high-performance personal care ingredients with a higher content from renewable feedstocks.
Designed with natural formulations and the needs of the clean beauty market in mind, Harmonie NatuVel gel is derived from 100% plant-based raw materials and developed with the guidance of the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry.
This unique, patent-pending, translucent gel has been designed to provide formulation flexibility beyond traditional elastomer gels.
It provides soft focus and blurring effects, offers luxurious sensory aesthetics, reduces the oily sensation of common cosmetic ingredients, including UV filters, and mattifies the skin.
In addition, it brings functional benefits for the formulator, supporting stabilisation of W/O emulsions and helps to disperse and suspend pigments and powders.
