100% bio-based silicone replacements produced with patented technology, plant-based petrolatum, wax alternatives and hybrid solutions
The personal care industry is transforming rapidly. Consumers now expect sustainable and high-quality products, while personal care brands need to respond to changing regulations.
Sonneborn, an HF Sinclair brand, is a global leader in specialty ingredients, and we recently introduced our expanded SonneNatural™ product brand. Our expanded SonneNatural™ portfolio is reshaping how beauty and personal care formulations are developed, and includes: Renewable White Alkanes, waxy emollients and hybrid solutions.
Traditionally, cyclic siloxanes and white oils have been prized for their silky texture, spreadability and emollience in creams, lotions, sunscreens and hair care products. Now, those high-performing ingredients can be produced from renewable feedstock. Through innovation, development and a deep understanding of customer requirements, our newly expanded SonneNatural™ portfolio offers:
- Superior sensory experience
- Stability, safety and purity
- Application versatility
- Regulatory and market needs alignment
Anticipating shifting regulations, evolving consumer expectations and strong compatibility requirements calls for a formulation partner that combines scientific precision with agility. Sonneborn is that partner you can count on, and our SonneNatural™ range shows how far pure, future-ready ingredients have come.
