Lygos Takes Aim at Multi-Billion Dollar Personal Care Industry with SoltellusTM


Lygos, Inc., a sustainable specialty chemical company, announced the launch of SoltellusTM for personal care. SoltellusTM, a line of high-performing, multi-functional, customizable, and sustainable polymers, enhances the performance of haircare and skincare formulations while offering biodegradable and cost-saving benefits.

"Consumers are increasingly demanding sustainable, eco-friendly, and non-toxic products, but they don't want to sacrifice performance," said Rich Weber, Chief Business Officer of Lygos. "SoltellusTM has exhibited strong demand in home care, agronomy, and water treatment applications, helping brands and suppliers meet their highest performance and sustainability goals. We're excited to advance that momentum by bringing our innovative and biodegradable solution to personal care."

Designed for seamless integration, Soltellustm is a biodegradable alternative to the non-biodegradable polymers used in current personal care formulations. It improves the performance and sustainability of applications in:

Haircare - Enhances softness, smoothness, shine, and wet compatibility, producing healthier looking and moisturized-looking hair.

Skincare - As a co-surfactant, it ensures a stable, rich, creamy foam and lather that's easy to spread, resulting in a deeper, more thorough removal of dirt, oil, and impurities. As an emulsifier, it improves user experience with a smoother application and luxurious after-feel, preserving formulation quality while leaving skin hydrated without any residue.

SoltellusTM will initially target haircare and skincare, with plans to extend into additional personal care applications in the near future.

SoltellusTM for Personal Care launches at New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists (NYSCC) Supplier's Day on May 1, 2024.
