Syensqo plans to redefine the landscape of responsible beauty at in-cosmetics Global 2025 with its latest line-up of high-performance, sustainable ingredient solutions. Leading the charge is Naternal Care XTRA, described as a "breakthrough" fenugreek-based conditioning polymer delivering unparalleled efficacy and sustainability in the realm of hair care. Four additional environmentally mindful innovations include: a plant-based emollient, a water-soluble lipid concentrate, a natural amino acid gelling agent and a natural, biodegradable suspending agent.
Naternal Care XTRA: Harnessing Nature to Restore Hair Health
Per Syensqo, Naternal Care XTRA (INCI: Not Provided) stands as a testament to the company's commitment to blending science and environmental mindfulness. Inspired by the renowned healing properties of fenugreek, this bio-based polymer reportedly offers advanced deep-conditioning benefits, restoring even the most damaged hair to softness, strength and manageability.
Key benefits include:
- Deep conditioning: Revives severely damaged hair for improved texture and strength.
- Biodegradable formula: Readily biodegradable (Biodeg Score B) and suitable for clean beauty formulations beyond traditional sulfated systems.
- Sustainable alternative: Replaces polyquaterniums with a naturally derived, eco-friendly solution.
- Formulator-friendly: Highly soluble and easy to incorporate into diverse hair care systems.
“This innovation represents a new era of responsible hair care, where visible results meet environmental values,” said Vincent Miralles, hair care global segment leader at Syensqo.
