Event
PCHi 2026 takes place March 18–20 at the Hangzhou Grand Convention and Exhibition Center; Clariant and Lucas Meyer Cosmetics exhibit at Booth 2F20 in Hall 2.
Plantasens Emulsifier HP 49
Plantasens Emulsifier HP 49 is an O/W emulsifier composed of four stearic acid–derived ingredients that forms liquid‑crystal structures, stabilizes formulations with up to 30% oil phase, and supplies skin‑lipid components to support barrier function, hydration and elasticity while delivering a soft skin feel via rapid emulsion breakdown on skin.
Aristoflex SUN
Aristoflex SUN is a cold‑processable rheology modifier for suncare that at 0.5% increased SPF by 75% in vivo (SPF 30 → 52.5) and enables lightweight, skincare‑like textures with an elegant skin feel.
Blue‑biotech active and Lysofix Liquid
Lucas Meyer’s new blue‑biotech active for skin longevity showed clinical superiority versus a low/high‑molecular‑weight hyaluronic acid mix, offering faster and sustained improvements and positioned as a vegan alternative to PDRNs; Lysofix Liquid, a silky cold‑process emulsifier, has new data showing it soothes and reinforces sensitive skin and strengthens hair to facilitate dry combing.
