BASF’s Personal Care business is expanding its portfolio of natural-based emulsifiers. The newly launched ingredient Emulgade Verde 10 OL addresses several upcoming trends in the personal care industry. It is suitable for cold manufacturing processes, thus enabling cost, time and energy savings. Additionally, it can serve as single-use emulsifier for sprayable emulsions including sun care sprays.

The second emulsifier, Emulgade Verde 10 MS, is a strong, flexible all-rounder. Together, they are part of BASF’s Emulgade Verde line of emulsifiers, which the company will present at this year’s SEPAWA Congress in Berlin.

Both O/W emulsifiers are based on 100 percent renewable feedstocks and are readily biodegradable. Furthermore, they are both COSMOS as well as NATRUE approved.

According to ISO 16128, Emulgade Verde 10 OL and Emulgade Verde 10 MS can be categorized as “derived natural ingredients”, as their Natural Origin Index (NOI) is 1. They are likewise suitable for vegan and cruelty-free formulations.

Both emulsifiers are manufactured respecting many of the “Principles of Green Chemistry” (published by the American Chemical Society). These new emulsifiers are compatible with a broad range of emollients and other commonly used cosmetic ingredients, including synthetic and bio-based polymers.
