February 5, 2025ProTec Botanica is Supporting Sustainable Innovation – solid format formulations.
The beauty industry is embracing change, with solid format formulations and zero-waste solutions leading the way. Consumers are prioritising sustainable products that minimise environmental impact, and brands are responding with innovative approaches to reimagine beauty for a greener future. At ProTec Botanica, we’re proud to contribute to this movement by offering sustainably sourced ingredients that empower eco-conscious product development.
Why Solid Format Formulations?
Solid formulations eliminate water, which makes up 80–95% of most liquid products, reducing packaging, transportation emissions, and waste. Their concentrated nature means they last longer, easing pressure on resources while meeting the demand for sustainable products.
What is Zero-Waste?
Zero-waste minimises waste at every stage of production, from ingredient sourcing to packaging. This approach prioritises the use of high-quality, sustainable ingredients that reduce environmental impact while delivering excellent functionality. ProTec Botanica supports this movement by supplying responsibly sourced essential oils, carrier oils, waxes, and butters that meet the needs of eco-conscious brands looking to create zero-waste formulations.
Sustainable Ingredients for Zero-Waste Formulations
Our portfolio of natural aromatic and botanical ingredients includes:
- Essential Oils: Sustainably sourced oils used for their active or therapeutic properties or their odour profiles.
- Carrier Oils: Jojoba, sweet almond, and coconut oils nourish deeply and form the base of solid cosmetics.
- Butters: Shea, cocoa and mango butters deliver hydration while maintaining a solid form.
PDF: Vegetable Oils, Pressed Seed Oils and Butters
- Waxes: Provide stability, improve viscosity and consistency and offer protective and film forming properties.
