The high-performing, biodegradable polymer
enhances the performance of haircare and skincare formulations.
Lygos, Inc., a sustainable specialty chemical company, announced
the launch of SoltellusTM for personal care. SoltellusTM, a line of
high-performing, multi-functional, customizable, and sustainable
polymers, enhances the performance of haircare and skincare
formulations while offering biodegradable and cost-saving
benefits.
“Consumers are increasingly demanding sustainable, eco-friendly,
and non-toxic products, but they don’t want to sacrifice
performance,” said Rich Weber, Chief Business Officer of Lygos.
“SoltellusTM has exhibited strong demand in home care, agronomy,
and water treatment applications, helping brands and suppliers meet
their highest performance and sustainability goals. We’re excited
to advance that momentum by bringing our innovative and
biodegradable solution to personal care.”
Designed for seamless integration, Soltellus™ is a biodegradable
alternative to the non-biodegradable polymers used in current
personal care formulations. It improves the performance and
sustainability of applications in:
Haircare - Enhances softness, smoothness, shine, and wet
compatibility, producing healthier looking and moisturized-looking
hair.
Skincare - As a co-surfactant, it ensures a stable, rich,
creamy foam and lather that’s easy to spread, resulting in a
deeper, more thorough removal of dirt, oil, and impurities. As an
emulsifier, it improves user experience with a smoother application
and luxurious after-feel, preserving formulation quality while
leaving skin hydrated without any residue.
SoltellusTM will initially target haircare and skincare, with
plans to extend into additional personal care applications in the
near future.
SoltellusTM for Personal Care launches at New York Society of
Cosmetic Chemists (NYSCC) Supplier’s Day on May 1, 2024.
