Sustainability-focused Lignopure has developed a particle technology to fully utilize lignin from industrial side streams. The technology will be featured in the company's LignoBase line (INCI: Not Provided), set to launch in 2023.
The lignin-based ingredients made from sustainable, upcycled sources give formulators and manufacturers a tool to simplify formulations for a variety of skin tones and undertones in an array of products. An immediate benefit includes diminishing the white cast effect that mineral sunscreen agents often cause in sun protection formulas.
