Natural beauty ingredients and personal care solutions

The beauty and personal care ingredient industry has seen a steady and significant shift in consumer attitudes towards sustainability and eco-conscious ingredients. Consumers increasingly desire effective products that are just as kind to the environment as they are to their hair and skin.

This evolving market trend highlights the importance of using all-natural ingredient solutions – including bio-based and plant-based ingredients – in product formulations by beauty brands and manufacturers. Natural ingredients offer various benefits that align with the growing demand for clean and green beauty products, including:

• Reduced carbon footprints and other environmental impacts
• Enhanced health and safety profiles
• Clean-label claim support
• Promoting product sustainability

Our ingredient expertise can help you align with your customers' needs for natural beauty and personal care ingredients.

Sustainable, renewable, plant-based ingredients

Beauty producers of all sizes can find it challenging to keep pace with consumer demands for ethically and responsibly sourced ingredients. As regulations worldwide become more stringent regarding the use of synthetic chemicals in beauty products, the shift towards sustainable, natural ingredients helps ensure that producers remain compliant with their respective laws and future-proof their products amidst unforeseen regulatory changes.

As a sustainability leader in beauty ingredient distribution, Univar Solutions offers renewable-source cellulose and emulsifiers, betaine from RSPO-certified palm oil, biodegradable conditioning, and 100 percent bio-based emollient and polymer options.

Beauty brands and manufacturers can meet consumer demands for safe, effective, and environmentally friendly product offerings by embracing all-natural ingredient solutions. This early adoption will benefit consumers and our planet and present an opportunity to gain a competitive edge in the beauty industry for years to come.
