Partnership for sustainable lavender
Firmenich has signed an exclusive partnership with Coop SCA3P, a leading producer of natural lavandin, covering business, diversification and innovation, as well as contribution to sustainable farming to secure the future for local producers. “With this partnership,
Firmenich confirms its long-term investment in the region of Grasse, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We are proud to uphold the centuries-old traditions of the best naturals, from the legendary lavenders of the mountains of Provence to the exquisite roses blooming in
the fields around Grasse,” said Gilbert Ghostine, CEO. “Together with SCA3P, we guarantee a state-of-the-art supply chain for our customers and a responsible business model for the talented farmers
and distillers who have dedicated their lives to producing the finest quality lavandin in France.” In addition to securing the
growing needs of Firmenich’s customers for lavandin, lavenders and sage, the Firmenich-SCA3P partnership allows the 230 members of the Coop to anchor their productions on aromatic plants, expanding their current surfaces and bringing in new crops to further diversify their portfolio, including developments in coriander, testing innovative lavender hybrids and new exclusive ingredients.

New film-former for long-lasting, natural makeup
Consumers want cosmetic products that last all day but contain a high proportion of plant-based raw materials. With its new film-former Baycusan eco E 1001, Covestro meets both requirements. "With this development, we
are reacting to a growing environmental awareness among consumers. We are also helping improve sustainability for our customers," said Mélanie Dick, global marketing manager for cosmetics. "The project is also part of a strategic program
PERSONAL CARE EUROPE
under which Covestro intends to focus completely on the circular economy. One of our key focus areas is using alternative raw materials like biomass." Baycusan eco E 1001 is part of
a new product line of polyurethane ingredients based at least 50 percent on renewable raw materials. It fulfils the requirements for natural origin materials in accordance with ISO standard 16128. This partially bio-based film former helps prevent undesirable effects like smearing or discoloration in natural make-up formulations. In addition, it maintains the advantageous properties of synthetic film formers, such as water and abrasion-resistance
as provided by traditional makeup formulations. This product also has
advantages over other natural film formers, particularly when styling hair with hot devices like flat irons or curlers. While most natural hair products like xanthan gum have poor thermal stability, Baycusan eco E 1000 can withstand temperatures up to 300 °C, providing protection against heat and frizz, as well as offering flexible styling without any residue.
