LANXESS will present its significantly expanded portfolio for cosmetics and care products for the first time at the leading trade fair in-cosmetics global, which will take place in Paris from April 5 to 7, 2022.

The specialty chemicals company offers high quality solutions that make these products safer, more sustainable and better performing. The preservatives, fragrances, multifunctional and active ingredients are available under the established brands Purox, Kalama, Purolan, Solbrol and Saltidin.

The Flavors & Fragrances (F&F) business unit, which LANXESS established following the acquisition of Emerald Kalama Chemical in August 2021, will present itself for the first time. The company combines in this business unit the acquired portfolio and expertise with existing LANXESS solutions for the manufacture of cosmetic products, formerly distributed by e.g. LANXESS Distribution GmbH.

“Our new flavors & fragrances business is focused on enabling our customers to create formulations that meet demand for sustainable, skin-friendly and robustly preserved products,” explains Holger Hueppeler, Head of the F&F business unit.

“We achieve this by offering high purity, consumer-friendly ingredients, coupled with advanced technical and regulatory expertise. We help our customers to optimize their formulations and stay ahead of new consumer trends.”

In addition, customers can benefit from supply chain benefits, thanks to the company’s strategically located production capabilities. “The acquired offerings complement our business perfectly. We are backward integrated into benzoic acid and benzaldehyde, assuring our customers of superior availability, as well as cost and time advantages. We are the only manufacturer that has sites on three continents, where production is carried out according to the highest industry standards,” Hueppeler stresses.
