Active Beauty wins the first prize at SEPAWA Congress in Fulda, Germany
Givaudan Active Beauty is awarded for the second time this year for its innovation with the active ingredient Vegetan Gold at the annual SEPAWA congress in Fulda. With over 100 technical and scientific presentations and more than 230 exhibiting companies the SEPAWA Congress is a must-attend communication platform for all involved in formulating Home and Personal Care Products.
This award is the result of an evaluation from an independent team of experts, who selected Vegetan Gold among 20 finalists.
Vegetan Gold has been crafted to offer formulators and brands the possibility to easily design distinctive crystal trans-parent self-tanning oil formulas. Once formulated in oil, Vegetan Gold shows a perfect and uniform spreading on skin, preventing the well-known “drop or stripe” effects of water formulas.
This innovative and sustainable active ingredient is fully compatible with sun filters and other oil-soluble active ingredients, for a straight forward integration in sun care lines. The Dihydroxyacetone molecule is obtained by an integrated biotechnology fermentation process using plant sugar as sustainable carbon source. This green manufacturing process has been analysed through a life cycle study according to the principles of ISO 14 040 and ISO 14 044 and demonstrated a reduction of 40% to 80% in the environmental impacts, including photo-oxidation, the use of non-renewable energy and water consumption.
China compliant, Vegetan Gold offers an unrivalled global solution to the cosmetic industry to develop and launch the next generation of self-tanning products.
Victor Zubb, Global Sales Director, said: “We are very proud to win this award at SEPAWA Congress. After Neurophroline awarded in latest April at in-cosmetics Paris, this is a remarkable signal of Active Beauty’s profound scientific expertise of cosmetic actives. It confirms Givaudan's strong leadership on the market to provide high quality products with high added value for our customers.”
