DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products today announced that its Zemea propanediol has been approved as a natural ingredient by ECOCERT, making it the first glycol to receive approval from the agency.

Zemea is a 100% natural ingredient made from corn sugar, which provides an alternative to petroleum-based glycols and glycerin in cosmetic and personal care formulations.

“Cosmetic and personal care companies who are seeking ECOCERT certification for their products now have an ECOCERT approved glycol to use in their formulations,” said DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products president Steve Mirshak. “They can be confident that Zemea will add to their natural content requirement for ECOCERT certification.”
