BASF’s Care Creations® launches the new biopolymer Verdessence™ RiceTouch. This plant-based sensory powder with a small particle size provides powdery light and smooth skin feel and is ideal for matte-type cosmetics.
Reduces Greasiness of Formulation
It is perfectly suited for various fields of natural and organic cosmetics including face and body care, hair care and body cleansing, color cosmetics, and sun care while reducing the greasiness of formulations.
Produced from non-GMO rice, Verdessence™ RiceTouch offers high quality and excellent oil absorbency. The biopolymer’s compatibility in different formulations results in shine control and a mattifying effect. Stickiness reduction and spreading enhancement are additional benefits. This free-flowing and low dust powder exhibits a low microbial count.
Verdessence™ RiceTouch can be used alone or in combination with other biopolymers such as
Verdessence™ Tara,
Verdessence™ Alginate, and
Verdessence™ Xanthan, allowing to formulate a broad range of leave-on applications e.g., creams and lotions, AP deos, foundations, eye shadows, dry shampoos, and anhydrous products amongst others.
Alternative to Synthetic Sensory Modifiers
Like other members of the
Verdessence™ product family, Verdessence™ RiceTouch has strong sustainability benefits. Deriving from natural 100% renewable feedstocks, this biopolymer is not only readily biodegradable but also does not contain any preservatives. No chemical modifications are needed during the production process.
“
Sensory is an important attribute for consumers when it comes to the selection of cosmetic products. With Verdessence™ RiceTouch, we use one of nature’s offerings of bio-sourced alternatives to synthetic sensory modifiers. We are delighted to deliver an ingredient with high performance and excellent sensorial properties while meeting the demand for sustainable cosmetic products at the same time,” states Dr. Natalia Chudinova, marketing manager for market development face/skin care.
Verdessence™ unites the company’s holistic range of biopolymers for personal care applications manufactured from sustainable raw materials. With this recently introduced trademark, BASF further expands its biopolymer portfolio for leave-on and rinse-off products and sets a landmark in its commitment to innovate in this area.
