Personal Care Ingredients

Personal Care Ingredients

silicones, and conditioning agents for shampoos, lotions, and cosmetics. Mildness, performance, and natural origin.

Market Overview

The Personal Care unit serves formulators of shampoos, conditioners, lotions, creams, sunscreens, and color cosmetics. We supply specialty ingredients from Nouryon, Dow, FOI (Fragrance Oils International), and additional principals that solve the formulation challenges modern consumers demand — mildness, natural origin, biodegradability, and high sensory performance.

Modern personal care consumers are increasingly conscious of ingredient origin, environmental impact, and performance. We help formulators develop products that meet market trends — sulfate-free shampoos, naturally derived moisturizers, and clean-label skin care — while maintaining the performance standards consumers expect.
