Merry Christmas from ProTec Botanica
December 9, 2025
It’s officially 2026 and Veganuary is back! It is a moment to reflect on progress and purpose. This year’s theme, “New Year, Same You”, is a reminder that meaningful change does not always require reinvention. Often, it is the smaller, more thoughtful decisions that make the biggest difference.
For beauty and personal care brands, those decisions frequently start with ingredients. At ProTec Botanica, we work closely with formulators and NPD teams who want to evolve their products using plant-sourced, vegan-friendly ingredients while maintaining performance, consistency and commercial viability. Veganuary provides an opportunity to review existing formulations, replace non-vegan components or simplify INCI lists using recognisable botanical alternatives.
Our portfolio supports brands at every stage of development, from certified organic seed oils and sustainably sourced carrier oils to vegan-friendly aromatics and cost-effective floscense blends. These ingredients allow brands to make considered formulation updates that align with growing consumer expectations around transparency, sustainability and vegan claims.
Progress does not always mean starting again. Sometimes it means refining what already works. If you are reviewing formulations for 2026 or exploring plant-sourced ingredient options to support vegan positioning, our team is here to provide technical insight, ingredient guidance and practical support.
