Eco-friendly Ingredients Lead EU Growth

According to a recent report, the European personal care ingredients market has experienced continued growth in recent years despite the slow economy.

Coconut-derived Hydrotropes

These two coconut-derived hydrotropes were created as alternatives to petroleum-based hydrotropes such as sodium xylene sulfonate and sodium cumene sulfonate.

Silicones Positioned for Growth

Silicone is on the rise, according to Silicones to 2014, a study from The Freedonia Group Inc. The study estimates silicone sales will reach sales of US $3.6 billion by 2014.

Seafoam for Skin Radiance

This hydroglycolic extract from seafoam clay has the ability to absorb oil and soothe skin, as well as impart radiance to and remineralize skin in cosmetic applications.

Sonic Eye Product Infusion

Products targeted to the eye area often are applied using the ring finger in a light dabbing motion. This century-old practice, however, is not as effective as women think, according to Robb Akridge, PhD.
