    Growing awareness of the environmental impact of cosmetics

    In early 2019, the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) published a proposal to limit the addition of microplastics to cosmeti.


    However, polymers are still a must-have ingredient in many products to achieve the performance and organoleptic properties desired by consume.


    Therefore, the cosmetic industry needs to develop innovative polymer solutions that balance performance, safety, natural origin and biodegradabili.


    Not all polymers are microplastics

    The ECHA restriction proposal aims to limit microplastics added to cosmetics from 202 This restriction only applies to solid particles made of non-biodegradable polyme.
