DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products, Corbion, INOLEX, and ACT Solutions have collaborated to create a bio-based range of personal care product formulations delivering high performance.
No Compromise on Performance & Safety
A key challenge for personal care formulators is to create natural and sustainable products that deliver targeted marketing claims yet do not compromise performance and safety demanded by consumers today. Many natural claims are not supported by certified content. Now, through an innovative collaboration project, they are bringing the ability to create certified, high performing, high bio-based content formulations to the personal care market.
During the Suppliers' Day exhibition, DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products, Corbion and Inolex had fifteen (15) new certified high bio-based content leave-on and rinse-off finished product formulas, available to experience first-hand. The formulations were developed and packaged by personal care industry recognized experts, ACT Solutions Corp.
"These newly formulated personal care products developed through our technical collaboration are proof the formulator no longer needs to trade-off between performance and sustainability when selecting ingredients", explained Steve Hurff, vice president of marketing & sales at DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products.
Near 100% 'natural' content
"Collaboration is in our DNA at Corbion and we are excited to a partner with other world-class bio-based ingredient suppliers to bring these innovative formulas to personal care companies and consumers." adds Lisa Swain, Global Market Director Biochemicals at Corbion.
"Consumer demand for natural products is continuously growing and they expect products that perform. The market-ready bio-based formulations developed in this collaboration are a significant step forward in delivering consumer-desired products that are certified for bio-based content." adds Lisa Gandolfi, Director of Marketing at INOLEX.
A critical requirement of this collaboration was to have each formula receive USDA BioPreferred® product certification which relies on a quantitative ASTM test method performed by an outside laboratory to determine bio-based content. This certification has the potential to serve as a new way to quantify the definition of natural ingredients. "With innovative formulation design and an excellent availability of bio-based ingredients today, we show that it is possible to build a range of USDA Certified Bio-based Products at or near 100% 'natural' content that rival or surpass the best in terms of aesthetics, stability, and performance."
Ready-made Formulations
These ready-made formulations have been tested across a wide range of industry accepted criteria, including stability testing, to ensure they meet the demanding requirements for personal care products. Based on global consumer trends, the increasing need for both high performance and truly natural ingredients is now a reality for the formulator.
