The role of silicones in cosmetics is undergoing a profound transformation. As a formulator or brand owner, you’ve likely felt the “Triple Pressure”:
Regulatory Hurdles: EU restrictions on cyclic silicones (D4/D5/D6) are no longer a distant threat—they are a current mandate for formulation upgrades.
Consumer Perception: ”Silicone-free” is now synonymous with breathability and non-comedogenic skincare in the eyes of the modern shopper.
Sustainability Demands: The shift from persistent synthetics toward readily biodegradable alternatives is now a core ESG requirement.
How is the industry responding? We see two main paths: the development of modified, biodegradable silicones or pivot to plant-based emollients.
Our naturally fermented plant oils offer formulators a new, pragmatic option for silicone-free and eco-conscious systems:
✔ Readily biodegradable and aligned with sustainability goals
✔ Improved sensorial profile – smoother, lighter skin feel compared to conventional plant oils
✔ Better formulation compatibility, addressing common challenges like instability, heaviness, and potential irritation
Fermented Plant Oils serve as a powerful high-performance alternative or a complementary component to silicones. They allow brands to strike the perfect balance between performance, regulatory compliance, and consumer desire.
