Clariant exhibited at the PCHi (Personal Care and Homecare Ingredients) show held in Guangzhou, China on 15-17 February 2023, at booth 3D01. It featured a host of sustainable resources well supported by its latest technologies and backed by global natural ingredients partners that stretch from Asia to the Mediterranean and South America.
The personal care market in China offered these exciting natural treasures for versatile formulations that promise to bring consumer satisfaction to new heights.
Growing Portfolio of Surfactants and Active Ingredients
The diversified biomes of natural ingredients featured at PCHi include the natural emollients of Beraca Brazilian Nut Oil Refined and Buriti Oil made available through the Beraca acquisition Clariant made a couple of years ago. The 2 products from Amazon Forrest provide intense film-forming actions and hydrated after feel, which allows the skin to retain moisture. In addition, the classic emollients
Plantasens® Abyssinian Oil and Plantasens® Olive Squalene from the Mediterranean will also be highlighted during the show.
In addition to natural ingredients gathered from around the world, Clariant also highlighted its growing portfolio of powerful surfactants and active ingredients. For instance, GlucoTain® Flex which has just completed its registration in China as a new ingredient in IECIC is a mild surfactant under the GlucoTain® innovative range of sugar-based surfactants known for offering sensory benefits through individual foam structures.
GlucoTain® has claimed the only surfactant in the current market that provides manufacturers of skin and hair care products with such a broad range of sensorial benefits. Derived from sugar, it boosts its sustainability performance, as it is biodegradable, highly renewable, has no need for ecotox-labeling, and predominantly uses non-tropical biomasses. In the meantime, the active ingredients of
Rootness® Awake for anti-aging and
Plantasens® Biogum Tara bio-polymer are the other highlights at the Clariant booth during PCHi.
While the personal care and cosmetics consumer market in China continues to expand horizontally and vertically, demand for natural ingredients and increasingly sophisticated product features are on the rise in recent years. Coupled with a bounce back of consumer sentiment following the COVID-induced downturn, personal care product brands are targeting new offerings that can tap into such growing trends and these are exactly what Clariant showcased during PCHi 2023.
