Lygos, Inc., has partnered with Acme-Hardesty to offer Lygos' Soltellus line of biodegradable, water-soluble polymers in the personal care and home care markets.
Sustainability and High Performance
The Soltellus (INCI: Sodium Polyaspartate) ingredient range is reportedly designed to meet the growing demand for sustainable products. They are also engineered to deliver high performance for applications including:
- Hair care, to enhance softness, smoothness, shine and wet combability, resulting in healthy looking hair.
- Cleansing, to ensure a stable, rich, creamy foam and lather that is easy to spread, providing the deeper, more thorough removal of dirt, oil and impurities.
- Emulsions, to improve the user experience with smoother application and luxurious after-feel, preserving formulation quality while leaving skin hydrated.
Broader Reach, More Sustainable Options
Rich Weber, chief business officer of Lygos, said: “We are excited to partner with [Acme-Hardesty] to reach a broader customer base, accelerate market penetration, and drive the adoption of high-performing, sustainable solutions.”
Caren Dres-Hajeski, senior vice president of personal care and marketing at Acme-Hardesty, added: “This collaboration allows us to offer even more sustainable options to the personal care and home care markets, helping our customers create products that are both effective and environmentally friendly.”
