Same INCI -different story behind Did you know that an ingredient can be substituted – without affecting the performance of your formulation? The comparison between 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐦® 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐥 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 and 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐦® 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐥 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 highlights exactly that: both are chemically identical, differing only in their raw material source – and therefore deliver the same performance in formulation. Accordingly, both provide: ✔ Use as a humectant and moisturiser ✔ Reliable performance as a solvent ✔ Antimicrobial-supporting properties ✔ pH-independent preservation booster ✔ Easy integration into existing systems For formulators, this means: The functional role remains the same. 𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗺-𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻?👀 Because the requirements surrounding raw material sourcing are changing. Supply chains are under increasing pressure – partly due to regulatory developments such as the EUDR. In this environment, sourcing and documenting palm-based raw materials can become more complex, even where certification is already in place. 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐦® 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐥 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 offers an interesting perspective here: an alternative with comparable performance in the formulation, but with a different starting point in the supply chain. It is a question of suitability, availability and strategic raw material selection.
