Abstract

The consumer’s desire for natural and mild formulations without compromising on performance is one of the biggest challenges cosmetic formulators are facing. A breakthrough in biotechnology now enables the production of nature-identical glycolipids on industrial scale from a 100 % renewable feedstock: the unique fermentation process is based exclusively on sugars. RHEANCE® Glycolipids are the novel platform of all-natural surface-active products made by Evonik. RHEANCE® One, the first member of this new class of ingredients, combines unprecedented environmental compatibility with high performance in multifunctional aspects: In skin, hair and oral care products, it offers maximum mildness and effective cleansing, while generating a dense and creamy foam quality with a pleasant soft touch. RHEANCE® One opens up a new dimension for formulating sustainable and natural cosmetics – even for the most demanding skin types.
