Symrise Cosmetic Ingredients has added Savelite HB to its portfolio of beauty ingredients.
Savelite® HB is a multifunctional hydroxypropolyester, which can protect all types of cosmetic products targeting normal to sensitive skin. Based on well-known ingredients and harnessing innovative technology, this antimicrobial ingredient offers a range of key benefits to formulators and consumers.
As a clear, colourless and odourless liquid, Savelite HB enhances product protection by acting against microorganisms and oxidation. The cold-processable ingredient also allows for easy handling, and saves time and energy during production. Offering the functionality of proprietary ingredients, Savelite HB builds on the well-established propanediol and benzoic acid molecules. The introduction of this ingredient, 10 years after the launch of the revolutionary SymSave® H, sees Symrise broaden its toolbox for formulators.
Product and environmental protection benefits
While enabling the formulation of safer products, Savelite HB also acts as an efficient moisturiser. In vivo corneometer testing shows a 10.9% increase in moisturisation after two weeks. It fully respects the skin microbiome and can help stabilise emulsions by reducing oil droplet size.
In addition to the formulation and application benefits, Savelite HB meets Symrise’s sustainability targets. Readily biodegradable, it is produced using a sustainable manufacturing process that is aligned with the principles of green chemistry.
“Symrise has been leading the way on innovations in cosmetic product protection for more than 30 years,” says Sabrina Mizaël, senior global product manager, Cosmetic Ingredients at Symrise. “Thanks to this new technology made from well-known ingredients, we are increasing the diversity of our product protection solutions. This enables us to support our customers in their formulation processes. We are also helping to minimise the impact of our industry on the environment.”
Symrise will introduce Savelite HB at in-cosmetics Global, taking place in Paris, France, from 16 to 18 April.
