The bulk of Jungbunzlauer’s range of personal care and cosmetic ingredients are approved by ECOCERT COSMOS and several of our cleaning and detergent ingredients are approved by ECOCERT as ingredients of 100% natural origin.
In an increasingly complex and fast-paced world, consumers want to slow down, making product transparency and natural living all the more important. In the cosmetic industry, this translates to high quality, natural products, with limited ingredient lists focused on high efficacy with no compromised performance. Jungbunzlauer’s bio-based product portfolio addresses this by providing highly functional ingredients for natural and pure personal care products with pleasant sensory. Deodorants are a key part of people’s daily hygiene routine. While the routine itself is second nature, the ingredients of deodorants are widely discussed and that’s why the demand for aluminium-free deodorants is growing. CITROFOL®AI (triethyl citrate) and zinc lactate are excellent personal care ingredients to formulate natural and aluminium-free deodorants with high efficacy and a limited ingredient list. Our minimalist deodorant formulation has performed effectively in both microbiological and performance trials. The results show that zinc lactate is an excellent boosting ingredient to improve the deodorant efficacy of CITROFOL®AI.
Sustainability is paramount to the future of the personal and home care industries. High water content negatively affects the carbon footprint for transporting these products. Single-use plastic packaging and the usage of harmful and harsh chemicals demands an innovative series of environmental-friendly solutions. Currently there is a growing demand and trend towards solid formats, in particular in home and personal care. New products become available in i.e. powder or tablet formats – to significantly reduce a product’s volume and weight, potentially meaning less packaging waste and a reduction in the emissions associated with transport. With CITROCOAT®EP Jungbunzlauer has developed an effervescent powder that solves many of the issues presented by such products. The new effervescent compound has demonstrated very good compactibility and improved resistance to segregation, which enables precise dosing and superior processability. High reactivity in contact with water, excellent storage stability and the use of a single component are further relevant benefits.
