BASF Personal Care will introduce its hydrophilic active delivery technology, Emulgade Verde PE, in the Asia Pacific at In-cosmetics Korea 2026, Seoul, South Korea (July 1\u20133).<\/p>\n
Emulgade Verde PE is designed to simplify the delivery of hydrophilic actives without increasing formulation complexity, while maintaining product performance and efficiency. The ready-to-use drop-in solution is said to be applicable in a range of formulations and aligns with sustainability claims as it is readily biodegradable.<\/p>\n
The ingredient enables the formation of niosome vesicles \u2014 a form of microscopic delivery capsules made from non-ionic surfactants. This allows formulators to incorporate hydrophilic actives into a product with minimal process adjustments.<\/p>\n
According to BASF, independent testing demonstrates that formulations with Emulgade Verde PE boost the diffusion of hydrophilic actives into the skin. It also enhances transport across the skin barrier, amplifying formulation performance.<\/p>\n
The delivery ingredient offers a mild profile compatible with sensitive skin, aligning it with applications across face, body, and hair care.<\/p>\n
BASF\u2019s eco-friendly focus<\/p>\n
BASF is positioning Emulgade Verde PE as a readily biodegradable formulation solution.<\/p>\n
Emulgade Verde PE is aligned with BASF\u2019s eco-friendly formulation ambitions through its biodegradability and its \u201cenvironmentally friendly,\u201d solvent-free manufacturing process.<\/p>\n
As part of its sustainability efforts, last week, BASF launched its Safe-by-Design<\/a> concept that develops \u201cfuture-proof\u201d fragrance ingredients from inception. As part of the concept, BASF released Micadelva, the third addition to its Future-Proof-Palette, which aims to provide high- performing ingredients with forward-looking regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n \u201cThe compelling sustainability profile contributes to the green transformation of our customers. This enables our customers to innovate with confidence while maintaining creative performance in an evolving market and regulatory environment,\u201d said Steffen G\u00f6tz, senior VP of Aroma Ingredients at BASF.<\/p>\n
