Cognis Care Chemicals and LS will focus their participation in the show on ingredients designed to help manufacturers meet the rapidly growing consumer demand for personal care solutions that combine high performance with environmental soundness. Both companies will present a variety of natural-based personal care and home care ingredients that are in line with Cognis’ Green Chemical Solutions classification system, which shows the natural and renewable content of each Care Chemicals’ raw material.

These products include:

o A high concentrated vegetable based microemulsion which is ideal for cold processable, effective cleansing and care applications particularly for wet wipe concepts.
o A “green” pearlizing wax dispersion for hair and body cleansing formulations based on mild Cognis’ APG surfactants that serves the trend towards natural beauty products.
o A range of sugar surfactants for extremely mild skin and hair cleansing.
o A preservative-free vegetal hair growth inhibitor: Thanks to its content in gymnemic acid, this mild active ingredient helps slow down hair growth after hair has been removed.

In-Cosmetics India 2008 will be held in Mumbai, on September 17 and 18
