On May 11 and 12, Cognis Care Chemicals and its active ingredients business Laboratoires Sérobiologiques (LS) presented their latest well-being solutions for the personal care market at the NYSCC Suppliers’ Day in Edison, New Jersey.
As part of its new “It’s Magic” concept, Cognis highlighted high-tech formulations that it has created using its comprehensive technological expertise. Innovative products on show included a nature-based alternative to cyclomethicones, natural oils, a PEG/EO-free dispersion polymer, plus several active ingredients that help skin stay youthful and beautiful.
The new “It’s Magic” concept that Cognis and LS launched at the Suppliers’ Day highlights their formulation expertise and high-tech ingredients. It includes formulations developed to amaze consumers in the same way a magician does. These were carefully created using state-of-art technology, and combine sophisticated aesthetics and proven active ingredients. The concept is based on five platforms: silicone-free, phase inversion temperature (PIT), switch oil phase (SWOP), cationic systems and anhydrous solutions. For each platform, the concept explains the unique properties of the different technologies, describes the benefits they can deliver and showcases various sample formulations.
Among the new ingredients presented by Cognis at the Suppliers’ Day was Cetiol C5. This new, ECOCERT-approved emollient can be used as a substitute for cyclomethicones. It spreads very quickly and has a pleasant, dry skin feel – like cyclomethicones. The product is ideal for facial, body, sun and hair care products, as well as decorative cosmetics.
