Evonik has launched two new products to meet the demands for sustainable, natural actives in the beauty and personal care markets. The two newly launched products are CapilAcid™, an active ingredient derived from the Maqui fruit which is a comprehensive protector and powerful antioxidant for the hair, and Oleobiota™, an active ingredient sourced sustainably from the Misiones rainforest for sebum-normalizing skin care. Both products originate from the company Novachem, which was acquired by Evonik one year ago and is being integrated into the company’s Care Solutions business.
As part of Evonik’s life sciences division Nutrition & Care, the Botanicals & Natural Actives segment is playing an important role in expanding the company’s portfolio of biosolutions. The value Evonik brings is the ability to translate the phytochemical profile of plants into skin and hair care benefits. In doing so, Evonik enables customers to meet the demands for sustainable, scientifically substantiated beauty and personal care products.
