Reliable sourcing
With the BergaCare SB range, Hamburg oleo-chemical company Berg+Schmidt offers refined and unrefined Shea Butter for the cosmetic and food industry. During the summer months shea butter as a raw material is scarce, since ripening of the West African shea nut lasts into the summer and harvesting is possible only from May to September. Towards the end of the season users who do not plan ahead often have to make do with lower quality at higher prices. In order to offer its customers a
high quality product year-round, Berg+Schmidt has long worked with a reliable network. The company cultivates these relationships on site in the sub-Sahel zone.
The antioxidant quality of shea Butter depends to a great degree on its unsaponifiable components, which BergaCare SB contains in particularly high concentration - at least 5 %, three times higher than mango butter and sesame oil. These components include disinfectant terpineols and cinnamates, and phytosterols that assist in cell regeneration.
MBBT officially recognised

performance UV filters that help to protect the skin against the harmful effects of UV radiation such as sunburn, premature appearance of wrinkles and – with frequent intensive exposure – an increased risk of skin cancer. Tinosorb M is an integral part of our broad sun care portfolio and
has proven its relevance for many years by being used in numerous consumer products worldwide. We welcome the EU approval of MBBT in nano form after this long transitional period,” said Dirk Mampe, vice president, business management Personal Care Solutions Europe.
BergaCare SB also contains stearic and oleic acids, two long- chain fatty acids widely used in the cosmetics industry for their anti-inflammatory and moisturising effects. Its good skin tolerance and care properties make shea butter a versatile natural product.

Team created to source essential oils
CPL Aromas has created an internal group of specialists to sniff out the best essential oils around the world. The scheme ensures not only quality but authenticity, consistency, traceability and sustainability when sourcing materials.
The first challenges for the
newly formed ‘Specialist Naturals Team’ took the team of 8 people to Bulgaria and then to Turkey for the 2018 rose oil harvests. The team comprises people from the Group’s Purchasing, Perfumery, Analytical, Quality Control, Formulation Management and Regulatory departments.
The fact-finding trips enable the specialists to follow the entire process from picking of the roses in the fields through to distillation and extraction of the rose oil. Rose oil can be
adulterated and so an important aspect of the journeys was to educate every member of the team on how to determine pure and genuine oils and how best to test the samples received. As rose oil is such an expensive product - currently selling for €6,750 and €8,000 per kilo- there is much scope for adulteration of materials and even more incentive for perfumers and buyers to scrutinise it even more closely. Harvests this year (2018) are much improved following poor weather conditions in 2017 which led to poor cropping. Nonetheless, prices for this precious oil are always at a premium. Decisions are being made now as to which rose oils will be purchased for the creations of the future. The other material which will undergo similar detailed attention this year is lavender oil.
