Partnership for renewable ingredients
Lubrizol Life Science – Beauty (LLS Beauty) is partnering with Canadian firm Advonex International Corp. to develop renewable ingredients for the beauty and personal care market.
Advonex, which is based in Kingston, Ontario, produces plant-based hydrocarbons through patented processes. These innovative hydrocarbons replace petroleum-based ingredients such as silicone, petrolatum and mineral oil with environmentally favourable components.
The hydrocarbons also replicate the sensory experience silicone provides in skin care, hair care and skin cleansing products. “We’re proud to work with Advonex to further expand our growing portfolio of natural and sustainable ingredients,” said Doug Nalley, North America business director LLS Beauty and Home. “We expect this partnership to allow us to develop replacements for silicones in beauty products and help us fulfill our mission to help the world Live Better.”
“Working with LLS Beauty provides Advonex with the market expertise and global distribution that is needed to address the growing demand for alternatives to petroleum-based ingredients in the beauty and personal care market space,” said Chad Joshi, President & CEO of Advonex. “This agreement demonstrates LLS Beauty’s on-going commitment to sustainability and accelerates our ability to enter and serve the personal care market.”
