Royal DSM has initiated testing of its bio-based vitamin A ingredient in the cosmetics market, ahead of scaling commercial production for applications including cosmetics and human and animal healthcare.
BASF is increasing its annual capacity of pure vitamin A, used by the human and animal nutrition industries as well as the personal care sector, by 1,500 metric tons.
Netherlands-based ingredients provider DSM has launched a new form
of Vitamin A oil that is said to conform to increasingly tighter
formulation requirements for a range of personal care products.
