IFF has announced the launch of Aurist AGC (INCI: Not Provided), a biodegradable, cationic biopolymer for improved hair conditioning in hair care products. The Aurist line of ingredients will be showcased at in-cos Global in Barcelona on stand U30 from March 28-30.
Aurist AGC is enabled by Designed Enzymatic Biopolymers (DEB) technology, which uses biotechnology to create a class of biobased polysaccharides with unique structures and product features. The DEB process operates at ambient temperature and pressure without the use of harsh solvents, thereby reducing overall energy use, according to IFF.
