🚫🌍 Rhode Island Takes a Stand Against Microplastics! 🚫🌍   This is a game-changer for cosmetic brands and their compliance strategies! In a groundbreaking move, Rhode Island has introduced a draft to ban the sale and distribution of products containing intentionally added synthetic polymer microparticles, starting January 1, 2028.   🔍 What Does This Mean for Your Brand? The draft provides clear definitions to ensure your products meet the new standards. It targets microplastics added for specific characteristics in concentrations of 0.01% by weight or more. This is about protecting our planet while ensuring product safety and transparency.   🌱 Exemptions to Note: Natural polymers, not a result of human intervention and unmodified chemically, are exempt. This encourages innovation towards more sustainable and eco-friendly product formulations.   🔗 Why Should You Care? This isn’t just about compliance; it's a call to action for brands to lead in sustainability and consumer safety. Rhode Island’s move is likely just the beginning. Are you prepared for the shift?   👉 Stay ahead of the curve in cosmetic regulation and sustainability.   #cosmetics #regulatorycompliance #microplastics

What we're learning about #microplastics is not too pretty. Pamela Ferdinand reports today on a new study about tiny plastics in cosmetics, and here she discusses where these pollutants are found in our bodies. Please share. https://bit.ly/3Nh8AIK

📰 [Innovazione in Botanicals - SENSOFEEL MFC] 🔹 Microfibrillated Cellulose (MFC) is an environmentally friendly alternative to microplastics, providing good biodegradability and improved formulation options. In cosmetics, it enhances texture and stability to meet clean beauty standards. 🔹 It is proving indispensable across a range of industries, improving formulations as a pigment dispersant, colour and coverage enhancer and as a versatile additive for brighter emulsions. 🔹 As a sensory enhancer, rheology modifier, foam stabiliser, suspending agent and film former, Sensofeel MFC offers true multi-functionality. #InnovazioneinBotanicals #greenchemistry #naturalingredients #Minasolve

Silicones are widely used in cosmetic formulations due to their specific properties and performance. Consumers, however, are increasingly looking for products using more sustainable ingredients. In addition, the European Commission has decided to ban D4, D5 and D6 in all cosmetic products in a few years' time. With our sustainable alternatives, you can stay ahead of regulatory restrictions while meeting consumer demands!

Incorporating #sustainable ingredients into cosmetics is not only beneficial for the environment and society but also aligns with consumer preferences and regulatory requirements, making it a wise business decision for cosmetic companies. Therefore we invite you to discover #LignoBase, the first lignin-based ingredient line for cosmetics that transfers the powerful protective properties of lignin into cosmetic formulations. By choosing sustainable ingredients, like LignoBase cosmetic companies can contribute to environmental conservation and reduce their ecological footprint. #cosmeticingredients #cosmeticindustry #cosmeticinnovation #naturalbeauty #cleanbeauty #upcycled #naturalingredients #sustainableingredients

Consumers’ interest in the ingredients of their cosmetic products continues to grow, but so does misinformation. Whether due to ignorance or the manipulation of opinions – in many cases, the result is: uncertainty. Doubts about whether to use an ingredient. Fear of the chemical industry and its products. Consequently, there are now many so-called “free-from” products that are said to be better, safer, and more sustainable. And this, if we pick out safety as an example, is just plain wrong. ➡️ Our latest article delves into this topic, using the example of sulfate surfactants.
