EMotion® Line by ROELMI HPC: A Sustainable Innovation Transforming Clean Beauty
Interview with Elisa Altieri, Ph.D.,
Market Manager Personal Care, ROELMI HPC
In the ever-evolving cosmetics industry, sustainability and innovation are becoming essential pillars. ROELMI HPC’s EMotion® Line has positioned itself at the intersection of these two, offering sustainable, high-performance ingredients derived from upcycled olive by-products. We sat down with Elisa, the Market Manager at ROELMI HPC, to explore the EMotion® Line’s origins, its impact on the cosmetics industry, and how it’s shaping the future of clean beauty.
Can you provide an overview of the EMotion® Line and its significance in the cosmetics and personal care industry?
The EMotion® Line is a groundbreaking innovation within the cosmetics industry, focusing on sustainable beauty ingredients. By leveraging the well-known benefits of olive oil, and other vegetable and renewable sources, the EMotion®Line delivers deep hydration, good absorption, and enhanced skin vitality. These ingredients not only perform exceptionally well but also align with the increasing demand for eco-friendly products. We believe the EMotion® Line is a perfect marriage between performance and sustainability, making it highly relevant in today’s market.
What inspired the development of ingredients from olive by-products, and how does the upcycling process enhance their benefits?
The idea behind the EMotion® Line stemmed from our commitment to reducing waste and promoting sustainability. Olive oil is widely recognized for its skin benefits, but much of the production process leaves by-products that are typically discarded. We saw an opportunity to upcycle these materials, turning them into high-value ingredients.
How does the upcycling process enhance the deep hydration and fast absorption properties of EMotion®Glow?
The upcycling process allows us to concentrate the natural emollients found in olive by-products, particularly di- and tri-glycerides, which are biomimetic to the skin’s structure. This similarity helps EMotion® Glow blend seamlessly with the skin, providing long-lasting hydration and a non-greasy, quick-absorbing finish. These qualities make it an excellent ingredient for a wide range of formulations, especially for those targeting dry or mature skin.
Could you explain the film-forming effect of EMotion® Glow and how it benefits skincare and color cosmetics formulations?
The film-forming property of EMotion® Glow is one of its standout features. It allows for deep hydration without a greasy residue, which is particularly beneficial in products like anti-aging creams or serums for mature skin. Additionally, its ability to disperse pigments effectively makes it an excellent choice for color cosmetics such as foundations or BB creams. This feature provides an even application, improves texture, and enhances the product’s longevity on the skin.
How does the synergy between the di- and tri-glycerides in EMotion® SKin contribute to its effectiveness in improving skin hydration?
EMotion® SKin is designed with a carefully refined balance of di- and tri-glycerides. This combination enhances skin moisturization and boosts formulation stability. By maintaining high levels of triglycerides, we ensure that the skin is deeply nourished, while the increased diglyceride content enhances the formulation's texture and functionality. Additionally, we remove free fatty acids that could affect the product’s stability, making EMotion® SKin a highly effective and reliable ingredient.
In what ways do you see the EMotion® Line influencing trends in the cosmetics and personal care industry, particularly in the context of sustainability?
The EMotion® Line is setting new benchmarks for sustainability and performance in the beauty industry. Consumers are becoming more conscious of the environmental impact of their skincare products, and they’re demanding clean, eco-friendly solutions that also deliver results. By using upcycled ingredients, we’re showing that sustainability doesn’t have to compromise efficacy. This trend is likely to encourage other brands to explore similar avenues, pushing the entire industry toward greener, more innovative solutions.
As explained, the EMotion® Line is more than just a product innovation – it's a shift toward a more sustainable future in cosmetics. By blending high-performance ingredients with eco-friendly practices, ROELMI HPC is helping to shape the next generation of clean beauty products.
