During in-cosmetics Asia, Clariant highlighted a lineup of high-performance ingredients boosted by its recent acquisition of Lucas Meyer Cosmetics. Among these were two new additions: the Hostacerin CCT emulsifier and the Eclipsogen CAP series of encapsulated UV filters featuring the company's Nanocon encapsulation technology.
Hostacerin CCT Emulsifier
Hostacerin CCT (INCI: Not Provided) is said to tap into the emerging minimalist trend. Described as an easy-to-use, cold processable emulsifier, it has a wide range of applications. For example, it enables stable, low-viscosity skin care and wet wipes. Also, according to the company, using just 10% of Hostacerin CCT in formulas can boost moisturization in formulas.
Eclipsogen CAP UV Protection Series
The Eclipsogen CAP series (INCIs: Not Provided) is reportedly the first range of encapsulated UV filter blends produced via Clariant’s Nanocon technology. Per Clariant, even at low concentrations in formulas, Eclipsogen CAP helps to achieve high SPF values in sun care products.
In addition, it is:
- cold processable,
- reportedly easy to formulate,
- readily compatible with sunscreen ingredients and
- enables light skin sensory benefits with no white cast.
Removing Complexity from the Beauty Equation
"At the in-cosmetics Asia show, visitors will be able to get first-hand knowledge about how our highlighted ingredients are designed to meet the everyday skin care needs with the complexity element taken out of the beauty equation — meaning that personal care products are there to perform with simplicity but without a compromise on performance,” said Vipul Bhatt, head of personal and home care, Asia Pacific.
Additional ingredients featured at the show included: the Genadvance Series, Pickmulse, Corneopeptyl and CycloRetin from Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant.
