Firmenich has launched Dreamwood™, captive ingredient inspired by Mysore sandalwood. Dreamwood™ offers the mystical, creamy olfactive warmth with demonstrated cosmetic benefits, and delivers a positive impact on the planet: 100 percent natural, 100 percent renewable carbon and biodegradable.
Dreamwood™: White Biotech Innovation
The captive ingredient is Firmenich’s latest white biotech innovation, after the successful launches of Clearwood® in 2014, Ambrox® Super in 2016 and Z11 in 2018. Thanks to major investments in fundamental and applied research programs for over 20 years, Firmenich continues to develop its sustainable palette to respond to today’s needs and future challenges.
“
Dreamwood™ is the cornerstone of sustainable innovation and represents the future of our ingredients business, integrating positive consumer benefits at the core level of product composition,” said Julien Firmenich, vice president sales, ingredients, Perfumery.
Ingredient to Offer Cosmetic Benefits
Dreamwood™ is the first Firmenich ingredient to feature cosmetic benefits. As demonstrated through rigorous laboratory testing, the ingredient can also bring some of the cosmetics benefits traditionally associated with sandalwood oil. Because of its antimicrobial effect and soothing properties on skin cells, the ingredient may have a positive benefit in skin care products for special needs, including blemishes.
By being sustainable, Dreamwood™ is reviving natural sandalwood notes for modern perfumery creations. The company claims that Dreamwood™ reveals its full naturalness and deep creaminess especially in heart and base notes.
