Uncover the Secret Code of Beauty!

With our Secret Code of Beauty, we use five complementary codes to create a portfolio of specialty ingredients for skin and hair care formulation.

What’s New:

GlucoTain^® and Plantasens^® Abyssinian Oil

GlucoTain is an innovative range of sugar-based surfactants offering sensory benefits through individual foam structures – from fluffy to rich – and light to caring conditioning levels. It creates new possibilities for formulators to go the next step in developing innovative products and platforms based on sulfate-free, CAPB-free and betaine-free formulations for a wide range of applications. In addition it addresses the consumer’s desire for more natural and mild products with no compromise on cleansing properties.

GlucoTain is available in 4 products, all offering excellent compatibility with other ingredients: Clear, Clean, Flex and Care.

Filled with benefits only the African earth and sun make possible, Plantasens Abyssinian Oil lends brilliance to hair and nourishes skin without a greasy after feel. In addition, as a pure and natural ingredient that carries Clariant’s sustainability EcoTain^® label, Plantasens Abyssinian Oil has a strong environmental and social profile.
