  • emulsifiers and emollients for stable formulations and pleasant skin feel

  • natural oils, butters, and waxes for nourishment and texture

  • functional starches to enhance sensory properties

  • mineral UV filters such as zinc oxide for sun protection products

SLI Chemicals offers a broad portfolio of specialty ingredients for modern personal care formulations and supports manufacturers in developing innovative products.

Modern personal care formulations focus on high-performance ingredients that combine efficacy, skin compatibility, and sustainability.

Important ingredient categories include:
