Biopolymers enhance your beauty products’ sustainability but lack the performance that synthetic polymers provide. They are a natural alternative to synthetic polymers and contain a multitude of benefits if unlocked. Advanced biopolymer derivatives are enhanced biopolymers, where the biopolymers are modified to unlock the various health and environmental benefits that they provide.<\/span><\/p>\n Polymers impart several characteristics to the personal care and cosmetics products manufactured and used every day – <\/span>thickness, solubility, emulsification, preservation, conditioning, or exfoliation properties, among others.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Traditionally, synthetic polymers have constituted these properties in your products. With the rising awareness about the health and environmental problems that synthetic polymers can cause, consumers are demanding the use of more natural, perhaps vegan ingredients that can be used to replace synthetic ones.<\/span><\/p>\n With <\/span>trends like \u2018skinimalism\u2019 and multifunctional ingredients taking over<\/span><\/a>,<\/span><\/a> it\u2019s necessary that brands not be left behind and take steps to make sure they stay relevant. Advanced biopolymers, such as Greenitio\u2019s, help brands stay on these trends and provide several other benefits.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Even when brands have recognized the challenges of sustainability and climate change, and noticed an increased awareness in consumers\u2019 demands, it has usually been difficult for them to switch to completely sustainable ingredients due to a lack of high-performing sustainable alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n Initially, biopolymers in their primary form were the only alternative to synthetic polymers. While different biopolymers boast different excellent properties and bioactivities, brands faced issues when integrating them into their products as they would lack performance.<\/span><\/p>\n With the sudden change in consumer demands and regulations post-2020, brands have had to accelerate their plans to transition to natural ingredients and stay compliant. Almost \u00a0 24,000 formulations have been <\/span>reported<\/span><\/a> to have no ready alternatives.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Bridging the sustainability gap requires changing formulations and ingredients to more natural ones. A fundamental component of formulations are biopolymers, and to prevent brands’ hesitation in adopting biopolymers, the shift towards advanced biopolymer derivatives is necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n These innovative compounds offer a compelling solution to the pressing need for sustainable alternatives in personal care products. They exhibit higher performance at par with synthetic ingredients while retaining its primary characteristics, such as biodegradability and bioactives.<\/span><\/p>\n Chitosan stands out as a truly remarkable substance<\/span><\/a>, renowned for its diverse range of applications and impressive properties. It’s a versatile ingredient, and its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial properties make it a favorite in the fields of medicine, agriculture, wastewater treatment, personal care, and cosmetics. As a natural, renewable resource, chitosan embodies the principles of sustainability, offering a promising solution to the growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Plant-based chitosan, derived from fungal sources like mushrooms, embodies all of Chitosan\u2019s properties, and is, most importantly vegan. If you\u2019d like to learn more about chitosan, we previously did a more detailed article, which you can find <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Chitosan is an extremely difficult biopolymer to unlock for its additional benefits. Greenitio, with its technology and process, has been able to develop products that meet the sustainability requirement of consumers, and the performance requirement of brands.<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, Greenitio has pioneered multifunctional benefits from<\/span> vegan chitosan<\/span><\/a>, where, in addition to its existing properties such as anti-microbial properties, Greenitio\u2019s products also unlock benefits like anti-acne and anti-aging. These multifunctional benefits help reduce the overall cost of the end product by lowering the count of ingredients and the cost that would have to be paid for these ingredients.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Multifunctional benefits also promote the current practice of <\/span>\u2018<\/span><\/a>skinimalism<\/span><\/a>\u2019<\/span><\/a>, one of several trends that consumers are adopting as they shed excessive and unwanted products and purchases.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Chitosan derivatives, especially, vegan chitosan derivatives, are the next big ingredient to be unlocked for beauty, as they find use from products in personal care to cosmetics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Chitobela\u2122 and Chitobe\u2122, the two advanced multifunctional vegan chitosan-based ingredients from Greenitio find applications in skincare, haircare, and sunscreen boosting.<\/span><\/p>\n These are versatile ingredients, complemented by their bioactivities and environmental benefits, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A plant-derived versatile biopolymer developed for skincare and haircare products. Its bioactive properties fight off microbes, ageing, and acne, giving your skin and hair a rejuvenated look and feel.<\/span><\/p>\n Chitobela\u2122 can be used in a variety of personal care products such as creams specialising in anti-aging and anti-acne treatments, lotions, serums, shampoos, and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n A plant-derived versatile biopolymer developed for skincare, haircare, and sunscreen product applications, and complemented by its nourishing effects and film-forming capabilities.
