Lubrizol reinforces its commitment to sustainability with the development of the innovative Sensomer™ Cassia 115 polymer. The personal care industry is witnessing a significant shift towards sustainability, driven by consumer demand for high-performance, eco-conscious products and regulations aimed at minimizing environmental impact. Sensomer™ Cassia 115 polymer is a sustainable conditioning polymer that promises to deliver exceptional performance while being environmentally responsible.

The new ingredient is a naturally derived, biodegradable conditioning polymer that excels in sensory, deposition profile, and foam-boosting properties in rinse-off systems. Its film-forming capabilities also make it ideal for leave-on hair care applications, marking a significant advancement in responsible personal care products.

Key highlights of Sensomer™ Cassia 115 polymer:

• Excellent Cationic & Silicone Deposition: Tested in various sulfated and sulfate-free surfactant formulations, the polymer demonstrates superior performance. Its unique coacervation properties ensure more effective deposition on hair compared to benchmarks like PQ-10 and cationic guar polymers.
• Sensory Excellence: Proven to provide at least equivalent performance to Polyquaternium-10 and cationic guar benchmarks on bleached Caucasian hair type I and surpassing them in attributes such as wet and dry hair combing and softness. Similar results were observed in non-damaged Asian hair.
• Foam-Boosting Superiority: Significantly increases foam volume and creaminess in both sulfated and sulfate-free rinse-off systems, outperforming cationic guar polymer and matching Polyquaternium-7 in foam volume.
• Emollient Deposition: Highly effective in facilitating the delivery of emollients in skin cleansing formulations, enhancing skin feel and creating a luxurious product experience.
• Versatility in Hair Care: Ideal for rinse-off systems, styling, hair treatments, and coloration, offering tunable stiffness, improved curl definition, and frizz reduction. When combined with Sensomer™ Tara polymer, it delivers high hold benefits with excellent humidity resistance.

The production of Sensomer™ Cassia 115 polymer follows a sustainable value chain. It is biodegradable, non-GMO, vegan suitable, and microbiome friendly, with excellent foam-boosting properties that help reduce the product's carbon footprint.

Sensomer™ Cassia 115 polymer is designed for both rinse-off and leave-on formulations, offering excellent conditioning, foam boosting, and sensory enhancement. It ensures hair and skin feel soft, smooth, and well-nourished, making it ideal for various personal care products and a valuable addition to sustainable formulations.
