Recently, the In-Cosmetics Europe, the international exhibition for cosmetic and personal care ingredients, opened in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Wanhua Chemical continues to be committed to providing innovative solutions, with the development direction of “sustainable raw materials, sustainable processes, and sustainable end-products,” to meet the current and future sustainable development needs of the personal care, home care, industrial and public facility cleaning, and hygiene industries.
1,3-Butanediol – 100% Naturally Sourced, Low-Carbon Production
Carfil® 1,3BG, as an excellent humectant and solvent, features high purity and low irritation. It provides a refreshing skin feel, effectively reduces the stickiness of formulations, enhances the efficiency of preservative systems, and reduces the use of preservatives to ensure product safety. Basing on Wanhua Chemical’s first-class distillation and purification technology, the odor control of Carfil® 1,3BG can reach an industry-leading level. Meanwhile, the production process uses green electricity and low-carbon processes to achieve 100% natural sourcing and full life of carbon cycle.
Glycolipid – 100% Bio-based, 100% Naturally Fermented, 100% Biodegradable
Glucolipid, as a natural, safe, and environmentally friendly bio-surfactant, are entirely made from plant-derived oils. They have extremely high surface activity and low irritation, with a unique skin feel, and can be widely used in mild cleaning products such as personal care, oral care, and baby care.
In addition, carbomer, diols, silicone emulsifiers, film formers, and other innovative and sustainable industry solutions are also displayed to this exhibition.
With the full-chain sustainable concept of “raw materials-process-end products,” Wanhua Chemical injects green vitality into the personal care field through breakthroughs in natural sourcing, low-carbon processes, and biodegradable technologies. We will continue to focus on the field of green chemistry and promote the industry towards a more efficient, safer, and more sustainable direction.
