With SymSave H, Symrise launches a truly nature-identical, multifunctional ingredient.
Its anti-oxidant, soothing, emulsion stabilising and preservative boosting properties make it an ideal component for all types of skin and hair care formulations. Cosmetic formulators find it very challenging to protect and stabilise formulations like high SPF sunscreens, nonionic emulsions, shampoos and shower gels. To address these needs, Symrise has developed a genuine multifunctional ingredient – SymSave H. It combines anti-oxidant, soothing, emulsion stabilising and preservative boosting properties. SymSave H helps enhance the efficacy of a wide range of preservatives and protect a whole range of formulations. The ingredient also offers an affordable solution for chemists to formulate milder cosmetic products that are wellprotected. In addition, SymSave H is a natureidentical ingredient that is FEMA/GRAS-listed. It shows excellent stability at high and low pH levels and temperatures. "Launches of new ingredients that are designed to protect cosmetic formulations are rare. Together with its unique, versatile profile, this makes SymSave H a real innovation in this area", says Dr Ravi Pillai, global product director Life Essentials at Symrise. "With SymSave H, we want to offer our customers an ingredient that allows them to formulate products that are well protected, milder, and thus skin-friendly.".
