BUFFALO GROVE, Ill., April 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Advancion Corporation ("Advancion" or "Company"), today announced the introduction of a new, bio-based multifunctional amino alcohol specifically developed for use in beauty and personal care applications. The new ingredient, exclusively manufactured by Advancion, is 50% bio-based and provides exceptional performance, including high-efficiency neutralization, emulsion stabilization and pigment dispersion.

"This innovative ingredient is the result of several years of development focused on providing formulators and manufacturers with a powerful tool to create high-performance formulations that meet the growing demand for natural and eco-friendly cosmetics and personal care products," said Debby Neubauer, Global Business Manager, Home and Personal Care.

Advancion's new bio-based amino alcohol is a versatile, multifunctional additive that can enhance the performance of skincare, haircare and personal hygiene formulations, and provides several in-formulation benefits, including:

Rapid, efficient neutralization
Low odor and non-yellowing
Superior high humidity curl retention (HHCR) in hair sprays and styling products
Excellent in-can corrosion inhibition in aerosol formulations
Exceptional compatibility with carbomer and other synthetic acrylic rheology modifiers
Enhanced pigment dispersion in color cosmetics for improved sensory characteristics and spreadability
Improved emulsion stability and sensory properties in skin care applications

"This is a significant advancement for Advancion with the addition of a true bio-based multifunctional technology into our portfolio of high-purity, high-performance additives," said David Neuberger, President and Chief Executive Officer. "With a strong focus on sustainability and performance, our investments in new product development are dedicated to empowering formulators and brand owners to create exceptional products that resonate with today's eco-conscious consumers. By driving technological advancements that prioritize environmental responsibility, we not only meet the demands of today but ensure a thriving future for generations to come."
