High Biomass Thickener

In response to increasing consumer demand for cosmetics formulated with natural ingredients, cosmetic companies have announced a shift from petrochemical-derived to nature-derived raw materials. However, while this transition is underway, a significant challenge remains in finding natural-based thickeners that match the performance of their petrochemical counterparts.

Solution:
Nagase ChemteX Corporation(NCX) has developed a natural-based thickener that matches or exceeds the performance of petrochemical alternatives. Specifically, when incorporated into cosmetic formulations, our thickener demonstrates equal or superior thickening effect compared to petrochemical-based counterparts, maintaining product integrity even after application.

Achievements & Expected Outcomes:
By utilizing NCX's thickener, the cosmetic industry can overcome the longstanding difficulty of transitioning from petroleum-based to natural-based thickeners. This achievement not only aligns with the corporate policies of cosmetic companies but also adds value to their products, contributing to the realization of their business objectives.
