Evonik at FCE Cosmetique 2010 in Brazil
Natural and biodegradable cosmetic raw materials and active Ingredients
The business unit Consumer Specialties of Evonik will be presenting its unique and comprehensive portfolio of Personal Care products at this year’s FCE Cosmetique in Sao Paulo, Brazil from May 25 to 26, 2010, Booth Nr. 116.
Following the trend of sustainability, the business line provides a broad portfolio of natural and biodegradable products, such as the new purely-vegetable based emulsifier TEGO® Care PSC 3. It is applicable for a wide pH-range, allowing “green” preservation with organic acids. Its application profile combines mildness, robustness, versatility and cost-efficiency with smooth and caring aesthetics. The lecture “A new, versatile and cost-efficient O/W emulsifier for natural cosmetics and beyond” by Peter Becker will round up the presentation of this new product.
As environmental awareness grows, more focus is placed on new and effective ways to reduce emissions and conserve energy in the production process. In response to this growing need, Evonik
Personal Care is the only supplier to commercialize biotechnologically-derived cosmetic esters. This production route uses 60 percent less energy than conventional chemical processes and reduces the formation of pollutants by up to 88 percent. TEGOSOFT® OER, a new enzymatically produced emollient with caring properties and a smooth, non-oily skin feel, will be presented at FCE. This product is easy-to-formulate and can be incorporated into both O/W and W/O-systems.
