Specialty Ingredient company Showcases New Route to Emulsifier Free Formulations
New York, NY – December 4, 2007 – Specialty ingredient company Botaneco will present a new, smarter way for manufacturers to develop personal care items during the Society of Cosmetic Chemists Annual Scientific Meeting in New York on December 6 and 7 at the New York Hilton. Botaneco will showcase the groundbreaking work of the organization in harnessing oilseed oleosomes, which offer performance based natural emulsion choices for manufacturers of cosmetics, sunscreens, lotions and other personal care products.
The poster and abstract, entitled “Safflower Oleosomes – A Multifunctional Route to Emulsifier Free Formulations”
The innovation driven company has already introduced its Hydresia product to dozens of personal care companies, emphasizing the ability to produce green products without compromising performance. “Hydresia makes it easy to be green for any manufacturer for a host of reasons,” Botaneco’s Andrew Baum says. “The performance of Hydresia is equal to or better than the performance of its synthetic counterparts and the ability to cold process formulate with Hydresia reduces energy and labor costs. It’s a smart choice – global performance meets natural.”
