(specialchem4cosmetics) -- DuPont Soy Polymers announced the introduction of SoBind Harmony, a plant based and highly functional polymer for the Personal Care industry. Harmony is a unique family of products that are opaque and extremely efficient binders, thickeners and emulsion stabilizers. They were developed as a result of a growing consumer demand for a wider choice of renewable, biodegradable and sustainable ingredients, as well as the rise of ethical consumerism.
Although SoBind Harmony is protein it offers unique properties. Innovative production technology, called "Structural Peptide Architecture (SPA)" leads to a high degree of active sites on each molecule. This is why these products show superior characteristics in comparison with any hydrolyzed proteins.
Company's processes also make the Harmony family 100% aligned with all regulatory requirements, resulting in a superior sustainability profile of process & product When Natural Becomes Functional is truly the way to define this new technology, which offers the formulator non-traditional options in which to combine ingredients and a variety of opportunities for novel displacement of synthetic ingredients. SoBind™ Harmony products can be applied to a wide variety of applications to include creams, lotions, hair care, hair color, color cosmetics, gels, cleansers and so much more.
DuPont Soy Polymers is a division of Solae, LLC, a DuPont Company. They are the world leader in developing innovative soy based products that serve the global marketplace.
