The Lubrizol Corporation, a global manufacturer and marketer of specialty chemicals, has decided to combine its Active Organics and Lipotec businesses. Lubrizol acquired Active Organics - a provider of natural extracts and performance ingredients - in 2011 to enhance its presence in the natural ingredients market. Lipotec, a leader in active ingredients for skin care, was acquired in 2012 to broaden the group’s product portfolio.

The combined businesses will now operate under the name Lipotec USA, Inc. and will be located at the current address of Active Organics, Inc.: 1097 Yates Street, Lewisville, Texas.

This name change is effective immediately,” said Lubrizol.

Lubrizol began promoting Active Organics as a brand under the Lipotec umbrella in 2015 to address the changing consumer demands in the skin care market. “The move was part of the company’s mission to provide customers with innovative products, comprehensive assistance and the necessary resources and services to support its growth and skin care initiatives,” explained Lubrizol.
