Hand Hygiene

Hand hygiene is the first step in stopping the spread of germs and potentially harmful viruses. Facing the COVID-19 pandemic, has put immediate focus on alcohol-based hand sanitizers, the most convenient solution for hand hygiene. However, this alcohol-based solution  often strips the hands of their natural moisture. 

Hand washing is the most effective disinfecting solution. Surfactants in soap help to trap and remove germs. Syensqo offers a wide range of liquid, foaming, and bar soaps along with hand sanitizers with a high naturalness index. Syensqo's priority is to keep hands clean and moisturized throughout the day.

Baby Formulations

Baby formulations take their inspiration from adult beauty trends. Naturalness and safety are the most important criteria in making the baby care routine easier. To ensure safe, natural or eco-friendly products, brands emphasize suitability for newborns as well as purity and gentleness.

Brands are also transparent about their ingredients and supply chain. Syensqo offers highly effective and reliable solutions for gentle baby cleansing products that offer excellent foaming properties.

Solid Formats

Consumers have become increasingly aware of the impact they have on the planet and no longer focus solely  on personal wellness, taking a more holistic, global view. They are driven by sustainability. As waste reduction becomes more prevalent in our day-to-day lives, more global consumers will scrutinize their beauty routines. *Twenty-first century environmental and healthfulness concerns have ushered in the return of powders and bars for body washing. One unit of solid soaps can replace two to three bottles of its liquid equivalent (250mL). These waterless concepts address consumer demand for less plastic, less waste, less water and a reduced carbon footprint.
Formulating solid soaps requires three categories of ingredients: cleansing agents, mild amphoterics and binders and conditioning ingredients. Syensqo carries all three in our portfolio.

Sulfate-Free Cleansers

Never before has the demand been so high for gentle cleansing, mildness and respectful formulations. Regular use of sulfates can  the skin and, in some cases, trigger allergic reactions in those who are susceptible. The most used sulfated surfactants are SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate). Both act as foaming and cleansing agents, which makes them challenging to replace. The goal is to keep the cost of goods down, ensure thickening, foam flash, volume and quality performance complexity.

Syensqo's scientists have formulated versatile ingredients for sulfate-free solutions that prioritize mild cleansing for superior skin health. Our products offer formulators unrivaled flexibility in mild sulfate-free cleansing solutions for any skin type.
