Beauty at its best. Clariant is shaping the future of beauty with innovations that blend science, nature, and luxurious skincare experiences.

 

At Personal Care and Homecare Ingredients China (PCHi) 2026, Clariant and Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant are showcasing solutions that combine performance, sensory excellence, and environmental responsibility. 

 

Visitors to booth can experience Clariant’s expanded lineup of high-performance emulsifiers, advanced sun care technologies, and cutting-edge natural actives tailored to the Asian beauty market.

 

At the forefront is Plantasens Emulsifier HP 49, a next-generation O/W emulsifier built from four stearic acid-derived ingredients. The formulation forms stable liquid crystal structures, allowing emulsification of up to 30% oil phase while delivering superior skin hydration and elasticity. 

 

Its rapid breakdown on the skin ensures a soft, supple feel—perfect for consumers seeking immediate moisturization with a luxurious touch.

 

Also on display is Aristoflex SUN, a breakthrough rheology modifier designed to elevate sun care to skincare-level sophistication. In vivo testing shows that just 0.5% Aristoflex SUN boosts SPF from 30 to 52.5, offering enhanced UV protection in lightweight, elegant textures.

 

“Both Plantasens Emulsifier HP 49 and Aristoflex SUN demonstrate how we’re elevating everyday skincare by combining proven efficacy with sensory excellence,” says Sophia Kim, Global Marketing Manager Skin Care at Clariant. 

 

“Whether it’s reinforcing the skin barrier function with immediate moisturization or transforming sun protection into a luxurious experience, we’re empowering brands to develop products that offer tangible benefits consumers can see and feel.”

 

Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant is debuting a new natural active from blue-biotech, clinically proven to outperform traditional hyaluronic acid mixes. This vegan-friendly ingredient delivers faster, sustained results for skin longevity while providing an alternative to polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRNs).

 

The company is also highlighting Lysofix Liquid, a gentle, silky emulsifier with updated data showing it soothes and reinforces the skin while strengthening hair, facilitating dry combing, and offering versatility for sensitive formulations.

 

“We’re excited to introduce these innovations that reflect our commitment to combining nature-inspired solutions with proven performance,” says Isabelle Lacasse, Head Global Marketing, Product Line Management & Formulation Lucas Meyer Cosmetics at Clariant. 

 

“Our new blue-biotech active delivers exceptional results for skin longevity while offering formulators a natural and vegan alternative to sweetheart HA and PDRNs, and the enhanced data for Lysofix Liquid demonstrates its versatility across both skin and hair care applications.”

 

Clariant’s showcase at PCHi 2026 highlights a comprehensive approach to beauty innovation, providing formulators with complete solutions—from emulsification to sun protection to active ingredients—that meet consumer demand for sensorial experiences, daily sun care, and sustainable, skin-friendly formulations.
