Novel Natural Textures

Raising the bar on clean self-care products

Consumers’ self-care trends have continued to evolve over the past few years, especially amidst the global pandemic. During lockdowns, the most successful products were ones that offered a unique experience to the user and added elements of surprise or fun. This trend has stuck around: consumers continue to demand new and interesting textures for face and neck care products to add to their self-care routines (Mintel GNPD). Additionally, naturality continues to hold an increasingly more important place in personal care products, as consumers believe that natural products are safer.

Trends create the Novel Natural Textures concept

BASF Care Creations was inspired by these important trends to create the Novel, Natural Textures concept. The leave-on and rinse-off skin care formulations include transformational textures as well as food-inspired ones, featuring textures such as souffles, puddings, and smoothies. The goal was to achieve the highest naturality possible of all formulations based on ISO 16128, while utilizing the building blocks for successfully creating natural textures with rheology modifiers, emollients, emulsifiers and waxes. These unique formulas will allow for exciting self-care routines, all while making consumers feel comfortable with the ingredients they’re using.
