In the past man- ufacturers of natural cosmetics were almost the only companies to offer deodorant sprays free from soluble aluminium salts such as aluminium chlorohydrate. Today, the majority of conventional cosmetics manufactur- ers have also stopped using such in- gredients in favour of healthier alter- natives. This is, of course, not least due to the fact that raw materials are being continuously fur- ther developed. It is becoming easier and easier to replace ingredients which cause concern without having to make corresponding compromises in terms of product efficacy. The situation regarding environmental protection is similar. The debate about microplastics – tiny, non-biodegradable plastic particles – has resulted in many toothpaste manufac- turers deciding to no longer use microplastics in their prod- ucts. In the long term, this trend will also prevail in the facial and body exfoliant product segment, where jojoba wax globules, sea salt and bamboo granulate are also skin- and environment-friendly options for the removal of dead skin cells. www.boerlind.com Guylaine Le Loarer, Head of Research and Development, Börlind photo:ValuaVitaly,Shutterstock.com Jojoba globules, sea salt and bam- boo granulate are also skin- and envi- ronment-friendly op- tions for the removal of dead skin cells photo:JPC-PROD,Shutterstock.com Read more about the latest active ingredi- ents hitting the scene COS1504_66_Vorschau_COS1409_50_Vorschau_GB 26.03.15 13:23 Seite 66 COS1504_66_Vorschau_COS1409_50_Vorschau_GB 26.03.1513:23 Seite 66
