At the tenth Personal Care Ingredients Asia (PCIA) trade show, in Seoul, South Korea, Cognis Care Chemicals and its active ingredients business Laboratoires Sérobiologiques (LS) exhibited a number of new products and concepts.

Each was an example of Cognis' belief that well-being products should provide a holistic experience incorporating four key dimensions: perception, feel, effect and usage. At its booth and in several lectures, the specialty chemicals supplier presented its innovative products and solutions, including Emulgade NLB and Cetiol CC, two elements in a new roll-on system; Lamesoft Care, a multifunctional wax dispersion for skin and hair conditioning; Plantapon SF, an exceptionally mild surfactant blend for body cleansing; and two new actives for eye contour care: Eye ResolutionTM, which combats the bags that appear below eyes, and Active Powder Eye Light, which acts against the dark rings that can form around them.

Antiperspirants and deodorants are also becoming increasingly popular in Asia. If products are to be successful in this segment, they must of course combat body odor, but should also offer secondary benefits, such as skin care properties, reduced white residues, soothing natural ingredients and feeling pleasant on the skin, in order to differentiate themselves from the competition.

Cognis has developed a range of innovative solutions for manufacturers of antiperspirants and deodorants, such as a new roll-on technology which exhibits excellent sensory acceptance, and optimized viscosity stability even at high temperatures.
