form of hydrated pellet that can be added to the aqueous or oil phase, use in the lab and in manufacturing is facilitated. Formulations containing Emulium Dolcea MB possess a strong sensory signature characterised by extreme softness. COSMOS approved, Emulium
Dolcea MB can be used in organically certified, vegan and readily biodegradable formulations. “The composition of Emulium Dolcea MB has been designed to make it easy to use in all situations. Every component

wide range of potential combinations and dosage at any time with HOGO by Symrise – regardless of where they are located. The platform utilises filters to find solutions that fulfil global regulatory requirements. This helps formulators to develop the best possible product protection system for modern cosmetics. “Ingredients that protect
cosmetics from microbial growth
in the formulations are essential for consumers and thus also extremely important for our customers,” said Yohanna Sander, director, Micro Protection business unit at Symrise Cosmetic Ingredients Division. “Unique in its structure, our new platform now offers our partners the opportunity to obtain a list of suitable ingredients for modern product protection.

of this emulsifier plays a critical role to ensure stability,” said Vincent Hubiche, global applications manager at Gattefossé. “In formulation, it
immediately stabilises the oil- water interface but also deploys in the aqueous and oil phases to both bring support to the emulsion and give a recognisable sensory impact. “We have formulated many
different kinds of products, from light fluid lotion to high oil- content rich butter, in conditions
known to challenge stability. The robustness of Emulium Dolcea is incredible, it really is particularly easy to use. We hope it will help natural formulators to gain time in their development projects,“ concluded Vincent Hubiche.
Sage essential oil for skin
calming Ashland has announced the launch of a new ingredient, American Clary Sage essential oil which builds on the tradition of healing the skin. Ashland’s American Clary
Sage (Salvia sclarea) is grown in North Carolina, US. For the last half century, Ashland has been working with a network of over 50 farmers to build on their knowledge. For the new ingredient Ashland has used field trials to boost crop production and improve the quality of the clary sage grown. Ashland extracts two main
constituents from the clary sage plant, its essential oil and sclareol. Both are used in the fragrance industry. During a two-step extraction process, the American Clary Sage essential oil is produced. “Clary sage and its
essential oils have been used for centuries by healers,” said Neil Astles, global marketing manager, Ashland. “Scientific publications support the well- known traditional use for this essential oil for skin calming and anti-microbial activities, and it is still used today in aromatherapy for a variety of ailments.”
