At In-cosmetics Global, to be held in Amsterdam from April 8 to 10, 2025, Clariant unveils Nipaguard SCE Vita, its naturally derived preservative solution for formulations without controversial preservatives.
Nipaguard SCE Vita offers a solution that enhances product protection while meeting consumer expectations in terms of safety and sustainability. Based on renewable sorbitan caprylate 100 %, this solution is combined with benzoic acid of natural, rather than fossil, origin.
This new blend represents a modern, innovative preservative system for creating next-generation formulations that strike a balance between efficiency, safety and environmental responsibility. It is aimed at customers seeking to develop formulations with 100 % Renewable Carbon Index (RCI).
In addition to offering broad-spectrum protection for a wide range of applications and formats, Nipaguard SCE Vita is easy to use, safe and effective at low concentrations, according to its developers. Extensive testing shows that the new formula meets the most stringent standards on the market, giving formulators total confidence in its effectiveness in delivering the same performance as traditional preservatives.
"At Clariant, we are proud to be a market leader in cosmetic preservative solutions. Nipaguard SCE Vita contains no controversial preservatives and marks an important step in our broader commitment to meet the needs of health- and sustainability-conscious consumers and brands, while creating value for customers with high-performance products based on renewable carbon."said Karolina Scierski, Clariant's portfolio manager for conservation.
