NATURA CAMPUS CHALLENGENEW INGREDIENT NOT SOLUBLE WATER & OIL

THE CHALLENGE

Natura is researching a vegetable based molecule of low environmental impact that is insoluble in water and oil for phase separation purposes. This ingredient will be applied in one of the phases in triphasic oils of Natura meeting all function needs of Hexylene Glycol.

Please refer to the call for tender for additional information www.naturacampus.com.br

O DESAFIO

A Natura está em busca de um ingrediente de origem vegetal e baixo impacto ambiental que seja insolúvel em óleo e água para separação destas fases.

Este ingrediente será utilizado como uma das fases em óleos trifásicos da Natura cumprindo as funcionalidades do hexilenoglicol.

TRIPHASIC OILS AND HEXYLENE GLICOL

Hexylene Glycol is currently applied in the intermediate phase of the triphasic oil system.

Triphasic oil systems from Natura are developed with ingredients containing different densities to form the three phases with exuberant colors, light texture providing and burst of fragrance at the application step.

Therefore in to obtain a higher content of vegetable based index and reduce the environmental impact Natura is searching for an ingredient to replace Hexylene glycol.

Proposals will be received at Natura Campus Portal (www.naturacampus.com.br) and there are no limits on the number of projects to be submitted per person.

Developed and under development Technologies will be received in addition to research projects proposals.

Final submission deadline shall be from 22/08/13 through 13/11/13.
