Platform launch

Designing Green Preservation Systems Just Got Easier with the Green Chem Finder
New platform streamlines ingredient selection for sustainable cosmetic formulations

Formulating preservative systems has become more complex than ever. Beyond regulatory compliance and safety requirements, formulators must now meet growing consumer expectations for natural and sustainable products.
While the number of available preservatives keeps shrinking, the marketplace continues to introduce innovative ingredients with great potential, but keeping up with new launches and gathering reliable data remains an energy-intensive challenge. Multiple hurdles often exist before data can be acquired and validated, slowing the formulation process.

A new tool for the beauty industry
The Green Chem Finder platform addresses these industry challenges by helping formulators stay current with market trends and innovation while discovering, evaluating, and selecting the most suitable ingredients for their formulations. With the era of "one preservative fits all" behind us, having key parameters readily available-such as pH range of efficacy, solubility, and natural status-has become crucial for effective ingredient selection.
For example if one needs to build a preservative system for a formulation at high pH you can simply enter the pH range along with antimicrobial activity required (antibacterial, antifungal, broad spectrum or booster) and the tool will select out of 300 ingredients the ones showing antimicrobial activity in that range. Or if one is working with a powder based system you can select the solid option and the tool will show which ingredients are available with that physical status. Several criteria can be selected at the same time such as natural content, palm status and even regulatory status in Europe, China and US, giving a very selective choice based on the criteria chosen.

Transparent Data for Informed Decisions
The Green Chem Finder platform provides formulators with clarity through transparent data covering microbiology, sustainability, and cosmetic science, allowing them to stay up to date and cutting edge in the ingredients selection process. All data has been carefully gathered and curated by Dr. Barbara Olioso, ensuring that ingredients featured on the platform come from reputable suppliers.
Users can set up to 20 different search criteria, allowing the platform to shortlist ingredients that match their specific parameters. This streamlined approach enables formulators to focus their efforts on testing the most promising candidates. The platform also includes detailed supplier information, making it easier to obtain samples and additional technical data when needed.

Partners
Green Chem Finder has established partnerships with leading industry organizations including the Cosmetics Cluster UK, Evident Ingredients, and Inolex, further strengthening its commitment to supporting sustainable cosmetic innovation.
