To meet the rapidly growing demand for more clean-conscious beauty solutions, BASF has developed Retinol 50, which does not include BHA or BHT and therefore, is better aligned with industry clean beauty lists.
Offers Flexibility for Product Developers
BHA and BHT are considered ingredients of concern among some consumers and have been included on many clean beauty lists in the Personal Care industry such as Clean at Sephora and Conscious Beauty at Ulta Beauty™.
Retinol 50 has similar stability to BASF’s Retinol 50C without BHA/BHT. Both grades contain high active loads of ~50% retinol
Retinol 50 offers flexibility for product developers to further stabilize final formulations.
“
With the addition of Retinol 50 to our portfolio, BASF continues to meet consumer and industry requirements for clean-conscious beauty products,” said Nader Mahmoud, vice president of Business Management for Personal Care North America.
“As a key supplier of retinol to the market, BASF Care Chemicals must continue to optimize our portfolio and innovate for the market demands of today and the future.”
Retinol 50 allows brands to comply with many industry clean lists more easily due to the removal of ingredients of concern.
Innovation in the retinol space remains a focus for BASF. Retinol 50 is the most recent addition to BASF’s broad portfolio of retinol offerings. These include grades suitable for different use cases, allowing formulators to make selections based on their desired claim space and target demographic.
With this launch, BASF Personal Care is expanding its offering of clean-conscious beauty solutions in the well-aging category aimed to improve the signs of aging, as well as addressing future challenges around sustainability, digitalization, and innovation, the cornerstones to Care 360°– Solutions for Sustainable Life.
