DuPont showcases its latest innovations at In-Cosmetics

Hamburg, 31st of March 2014 – At this year’s In-Cosmetics 2014 event, DuPont will present its multifunctional, renewable and sustainable ingredients as a way to make products safer and better for the environment. During the show, focus will be on DuPont’ key active & functional ingredients:  the soy polymer SoBindTM Harmony, osmoprotectants DuPont GENENCARE™ OSMS and DuPont Glypure® glycolic acid, and Zemea® propanediol from DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products.

DuPont Soy Polymers product line, SoBind™ Harmony, is uniquely designed for the personal care industry. Because this family of products is multifunctional, these products often allow the formulator unique opportunities for novel combinations. Discover pigment dispersing properties, rheological aid, product stabilization, and emulsification - by using soy polymers in skin care, hair care and color cosmetics formulations.

DuPont Glypure® glycolic acid a well-known active ingredient for anti-aging applications in skin, can also play a key role in maintaining a healthy scalp, make hair soft and shiny and actually repair damaged hair by entrapping moisture inside the hair follicle. 
 

DuPont Tate & Lyle Zemea® propanediol is a natural, 100 percent biobased ingredient made through fermentation of corn glucose and is used as a preservative-boosting humectant, emollient or natural solvent. It is a high-performance, environmentally sustainable alternative to petroleum-based glycols and glycerin in which the product’s lack of skin irritation, improved moisturization, antimicrobial efficacy and excellent aesthetic properties are benefits.  Zemea® is approved as a natural ingredient by Ecocert and the Natural Products Association, is certified 100 percent biobased by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and has both Kosher and Halal certifications.

DuPont GENENCARETM OSMS products are a natural choice to manage the right moisture balance in skin cells. They are highly versatile osmoprotectants that occur naturally in skin and hair, protecting them from environmental stress. Key benefits include skin moisturization, improvement of tight junctions, anti-irritant properties and high water retention in hair.  They are easy to formulate and  soluble in water, ethanol, propylene glycol and glycerin. DuPont is continually investing to improve the GENENCARETM range and developing new applications that turn nature into nurture

“The cosmetic industry provides consumers with products that delight and surprise them. Successful skin, hair, make-up and nail care cosmetics require ingredients that deliver proven performance and allow innovation formulations”, summarizes Andrea Vassalotti, Cosmetic Industry Leader. In addition, “DuPont not only provides ingredients that can customize the texture and feel of products, but also offers renewably-sourced ingredients which allow formulators to create sustainable products”.

You can meet us at Hamburg Messe, from April 1st to 3rd on booth 1F60.
