Ashland’s innovative technology platforms enable customers to respond to global megatrends and regulatory landscapes.

These unique additives and specialty ingredients are tunable and can scale multiple markets. They are renewable, natural, biodegradable, non-microplastic, non-GMO and vegan.

As a platform for personal care, emphasis is given to the Transformed Vegetable Oil (TVO) platform in skin care featuring additives with sustainable characteristics.

Antaron soja glyceride is a nature derived, biodegradable film former that delivers water-resistance and sun protection factor (SPF)-boosting benefits to sun care and color cosmetic formulations. This innovation enables the creation of more natural sun care creams, lotions, gels, and color cosmetics.

Softhance mr conditioning agent is a nature-derived, biodegradable conditioning agent delivering consumer-perceivable skin softness from rinse-off cleansing formulations. Depositing on the skin during washing, Softhance mr helps skin retain moisture, leaving it feeling conditioned and soft after rinsing. Non-microplastic, non-GMO, and vegan suitable, Softhance mr offers a sustainable option to deliver conditioning benefits from body washes, hand soaps, facial cleansers and more.
