By blending its commitment to more sustainable beauty with its leading technology and innovation capabilities, Symrise enables formulators and customers to fulfil the rising consumer demand for naturally derived cosmetic ingredients.
The relaunch is just the latest example of Symrise’s approach to innovation in action. PCL-Solid had long been known for its performance as an emollient; and now, with the transition to PCL-Solid green, Symrise has successfully eliminated all petrochemical feedstock from the ingredient. Not only is it made from 100% natural-origin materials according to ISO 16128, but it is also vegan, addressing another major market requirement.
The product’s sustainable makeover has been achieved without compromising its high performance: melting quickly on the skin, PCL-Solid green delivers a soft, smooth, and non-greasy feel. This colorless ester blend has a neutral odor and enhances texture and consistency in formulations, contributing to a pleasant and caring sensation for consumers. Globally approved, the emollient offers formulators a sustainable modern solution that is ideal for a wide range of applications – from face, body, and lip care to color cosmetics and sunscreens. It is also suitable for various application formats, including stick formats and water-free formulations.
Among today’s increasingly eco-aware consumers, interest in natural-origin cosmetics continues to grow; and with PCL-Solid green, Symrise is supporting the personal care industry in delivering market-driven solutions.
