Lubrizol’s newest development—Carbopol BioSense Polymer—has received the Bronze BSB Innovation Award in the Environment/Raw Materials sector.
Created to satisfy the increasing consumer requirement for natural, high-functioning components, Carbopol BioSense Polymer is a naturally sourced rheology adjuster and sensation amplifier. It gives a luxurious and gentle, synthetic-esque sensation akin to silicone elastomers without any tackiness or flaking, rendering it suitable for various formulations—from serums and lotions to lightweight creams.
Boasting a 98% natural origin composition, the polymer is vegan, COSMOS/ECOCERT approved, and adheres to the 12 tenets of green chemistry.
Carbopol BioSense polymer is suited for skincare, providing a spectrum of medium-thickness emulsions ranging from 500 to 15,000 mPa·s. When merged with naturally derived and man-made rheology adjusters, it permits the development of a diverse assortment of lotions and delicate creams. Within sun protection products, it exhibits compatibility with organic UV absorbers and minimal quantities of zinc oxide.
The BSB Innovation Awards, granted yearly by Beratungs- und Servicebüro, a prominent German beauty products advisory firm, acknowledge remarkable accomplishments within the cosmetics field. The Environment division honors elements that generate a favorable influence on the world.
