When I saw this Click'n'Vote question I thought I had the most popular answer right away. But it looks like I was a little off with my assumptions. The question "Which functional ingredients category do you see as bringing most innovations in the next 2 years?" was posed to the SpecialChem Community in June and had 177 responses. Again, as a cosmetics formulator, I thought my response was going to be on top of the list. I selected Polymers. But I wasn't that far off the mark. The most popular response was Preservatives.
