Lonza looked to balance functionality, aesthetics and mildness in its recent range of polyglycerol esters. The line was created from a single chemistry that can be customized to formulators’ needs to increase speed to market and formulation efficiency.

The versatile Syneth range reportedly offers stability, rheology control, moisturization and more. The mild ingredients can be cold-processed or processed at low temperatures in order to enable faster, more sustainable batch preparation and scale-up.
