Biodegradable solutions for personal care products
Our quest for non-persistent, sustainable personal care products
At BASF Personal Care, sustainably sourced, nature-based products manufactured by green processes are a top priority. Over the past decades, our portfolio has consistently become more natural. At the same time, we consider it our responsibility to go even further. Carbon dioxide emissions as well as products and substances that do not degrade in nature are major concerns to us. The personal care market calls for solutions that are sustainable and biodegradable, yet deliver the same high performance as well-established products.
We would love to join forces with you, whether your idea matches the product segments mentioned above or fits into personal care in a different way.
Our expectations on your ideas
All ideas and products are to be assessed according to the following criteria:
- Biodegradable, non-persistent in nature
- If possible, completely bio-based, but at least 50% natural carbon content
- Sustainable sourcing
- Comply to the Principles of Green Chemistry and Green Engineering
- No hazardous material labels
Should you be unsure about any of these aspects in relation to your idea, product or technology, we would be glad to answer your questions.
