Croda unveils ChromaPur to replace microbeads


Croda International has unveiled ChromaPur CV2 & CV7, which are spheroidal cellulose powders to replace plastic microbeads in skin care and colour cosmetics. In partnership with Canadian


advanced material science company Anomera, Croda said the two cellulose powders offer exceptional sensory and optical benefits, including a soft-focus effect in skin care, and a better pay-off, coverage and colour intensity in colour cosmetics. ChromaPur CV2 & CV7 are


derived from upcycled black spruce, 100% natural, readily biodegradable, vegan and COSMOS approved. The powders are obtained


from a patented technology with


sustainable and transparent practices across the entire production cycle. “We can see a rising number


of conscious consumers pushing the beauty industry for more sustainable solutions,” said Croda


International beauty care marketing manager Aude Lemoine-Dessaint. “Being one of them, I’m very


proud to offer the possibility of personal care product with such a positive impact on the environment,” she added.


BASF reveals COSMOS-compliant pearlizer


BASF has taken the wraps off Euperlan NL Pearl, the first COSMOS-compliant, wax-based pearlizer made for rinse-off applications in personal care. Euperlan NL Pearl is composed


of the naturally-derived ingredients hydrogenated vegetable oil, cocamidopropyl betaine and glycerol oleate. BASF says it offers a high-


performance alternative to non- COSMOS approved ingredients and allows to address consumers’ demand for opacifying and pearlizing effects without using pigments.


“Euperlan NL Pearl shows outstanding attributes in hair care applications, especially on wet and dry combing tests, anti-hair


breakage measurements and suppleness tests,” said Nadine Le Bris, head of market development for hair/body/oral care. “This new pearlizer is readily


biodegradable and suitable for EO and sulfate surfactant-free solutions. It is easy to formulate and cold processable,” she added. “Formulations for shampoos,


body wash and shower gel developed with Euperlan NL Pearl allow a natural origin content up to 99% according to ISO 16128 and conformity with COSMOS standards for natural cosmetics.”

ultra-soft cleaning agent that provides a consistent, stable foam with a creamy texture and Kao Sofcare GP-1, a conditioning agent


combination of different Kao emollients like Exceparl LM-LC and Exceparl IS-CE-A, a sustainable body moisturizer with a natural character can be achieved.
