Matsumoto Trading, increasing the number of texture improvers that make effective use of lemon peel

 Matsumoto Trading Co., Ltd. is focusing on raw material proposals from Merck & Co., a raw material manufacturer that supports clean beauty.

Merck has a wide range of raw materials, from skin care raw materials to pearl pigments and functional extender pigments, and offers products that have acquired Ecocert certification and Cosmos certification, as well as halal certification at all factories. It is said that there is. We are also developing microplastic alternatives.

In addition, we have been proactively proposing "Fiber Design" (Cargill Beauty Co., Ltd.), a naturally-derived feel improver (emulsion stabilizer). This product uses a special technology to combine a fiber of lemon zest with a polysaccharide and sclerotium gum, which realizes a wide range of pH stability, salt resistance, and excellent feel-improving effect.

The peel of lemon, which had been discarded until now, is effectively used, making it an environmentally friendly raw material.

In addition, Nippon Paper Industries' "Serenpia CS-01C" is a plant-derived biomass material, and inquiries are increasing as a sustainable raw material.

It is a state-of-the-art biomass material produced by finely loosening the fibers that make up wood to the nano level, and because it is derived from plant fibers, it is characterized by its low environmental impact on production and disposal and its light weight.

By using it in combination with a conventional thickener, it can be expected to differentiate in terms of touch, such as improving salt resistance and preventing stickiness. In addition, there is little change in viscosity due to temperature changes, and there is high viscosity stability even at high temperatures. It can also be used for skin care, makeup, hair care, sun care that utilizes the pigment dispersion effect, and quasi-drugs.
