Silica is used widely in personal care and cosmetics but is traditionally sourced from non-renewable sand dredging which requires significant energy consumption and emits large amounts of C02. In addition, formulators need a high performance alternative to microplastics.

During this special presentation from Aprinnova, you’ll learn about a new sustainable and renewable alternative derived from discarded sugarcane ashes that have similar or better performance characteristics compared to industry benchmarks. This session will discuss how this innovative ingredient is made and present the latest expert sensory and consumer studies demonstrating the performance of plant-based silica to support your next color cosmetics or skincare launch.
