Lubrizol Life Science has developed a line of waterless formulations combining ingredients such as AlgaPūr HSHO algae oil (INCI: Triolein), Kelco-Care diutan gum (INCI: Sphingomonas Ferment Extract), Sensomer CI-50 polymer (INCI: Starch Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride), Oilkemia 5S polymer (INCI: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (and) Polyurethane-79), Matrifuse S-1 dispersant (INCI: Polyhydroxystearic Acid (and) Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate) and Sunhancer Eco SPF (INCI: Copernicia Cerifera Wax (and) Oryza Sativa Wax).
This responds to the United Nation's (U.N.'s) prediction that by 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed conditions. As climate change continues to threaten the natural water cycle, more consumers are seeking out beauty brands that offer waterless products that work.
