Our high-performance formulations cover a broad range of Body and Skin Care products – from facial cleansers and body washes to cream and serums.
Today’s consumers want high-performance products adapted for their own skin type, needs and sensitivities. Formulators partnering with Solvay can tap into our extensive array of natural or naturally derived, safe and sustainable ingredients to deliver best-in-class performance in skin products for cleansing, hydrating, protecting and rejuvenating.
Formulators can use Solvay’s ingredients and natural-based technologies to design multi-sensory, multi-functional Skin and Body Care products that unlock opportunities to renew the consumer’s experience while also addressing skin balance and health concerns. Our extensive portfolio of multi-purpose materials enables customers to create products making substantiated claims around mildness, personal hygiene, anti-aging or specific textures.
