AkzoNobel introduced four new products as part of its Structure Cel line. The products are derived from the by-product of the production of cellulose and are therefore eco-friendly. These four introductions combine rheology modifying with foam boosting and they vary by their viscosity. According to the company, they require less energy for processing and they allow for less surfactant in cleansing systems.

Cognis introduced Cetiol RLF, a light emolient that is mild and can be used to replace cyclomethicone. The company also debuted formulation concepts for sensitive skin, where the company tests each ingredient for its effect.
