The urgent need for climate action and the trend towards more sustainable skin care products is transforming the way cosmetic ingredients are being manufactured.
Enzymatic catalysis as a biotechnological process offers a path to improve the ecological profile for a specific formulation. Evonik is pioneering the commercial manufacture of cosmetic emollients using an enzymatic process.
This is helping to reduce the climate footprint of cosmetic formulations, while enabling cosmetic manufacturers to design eco-efficient cosmetics and personal care products.
