Innovative Technologies Create New Growth Opportunities for Polymers in Personal Care
Innovations in biopolymers and naturally derived polymers changing industry dynamics
Research Overview
Polymers play an important role as an emulsifier, rheology modifier, thickener, conditioning agent, and delivery system, among others in the personal care industry. The majority of the polymers dominating the personal care industry are of synthetic origin; however, due to stringent regulations on synthetic polymers especially microbeads proposed by government of different countries across the globe have pushed manufacturers to move their focus towards bio-based or renewable and natural sourced polymers.
Polymers like starch, cellulose, Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have witnessed increased research and development activities in personal care product formulation and packaging applications.
Bio feedstocks derived from plant origins like sugar for developing biopolymers or chemicals have seen significant innovations.
