Scott Bader launches new Texique® bio-based personal care additives

The new Texique products; HE10 and HE20, are innovative high-performing thickeners and emulsifiers for the personal care market, manufactured from at least 60% naturally derived ingredients, none of which are animal-based. With sustainability and the environment in mind, Texique products are also completely ethylene oxide free.

Part of Scott Bader’s Functional Polymers range, Texique thickeners and emulsifiers are cold processable with good emulsification properties and pH stability. They are supplied pre-neutralised and ready to use with no preservatives or animal derived raw materials. The bio-based ingredients in Texique products are plant-based, and they also feature renewable oil and surfactant.

The launch of Texique allows Scott Bader to enter into the personal care market for the first time, whilst adhering to their 2036 vision of developing sustainable products. Research and development into bio-based ingredients continues, with the aim of further increasing the percentage of bio-based ingredients within Texique products.
