Evonik offers you our Next Generation Solution Emulsifier:
The 100% olive-based O/W emulsifier ECOHANCE® Care PS3 is the first product in the program. The olives are mainly sourced from the Mediterranean region and the supply chain is traceable to the oil mills, which are all located in the EU. Instead of using edible olive oil as a feedstock, ECOHANCE® Care PS3 is fully based on a post-industrial residue from the olive oil refinery. This residue is produced during olive oil refining and cannot be used for human or feed consumption – a great use for trash!
Olive acid oil is a valuable source for fatty acids and glycerol – the essential building blocks to produce a polyglycerol esters like ECOHANCE® Care PS3 (INCI: Polyglycerol-3 Distearate; globally registered). As ECOHANCE® Care PS3 is produced by upcycling of a second-generation feedstock, the emulsifier is sourced landless and fully deforestation-free. This approach not only allows a sourcing without any competition to food or feed crops but also a carbon footprint reduction by 66% in comparison to a RSPO palm oil-based production.
