Seoul – June 24, 2026 – BASF will unveil Emulgade® Verde PE for the first time in Asia Pacific at in-cosmetics Korea 2026, taking place from July 1 to 3 at the COEX Convention & Exhibition Center in Seoul. This advanced ready-to-use, technology simplifies the delivery of hydrophilic actives, while maintaining high formulation efficiency and performance.
Advancing Hydrophilic Active Delivery with Emulgade® Verde PE
Emulgade® Verde PE enables efficient delivery of hydrophilic actives without increasing formulation complexity. Designed as a ready-to-use drop-in solution, it supports seamless integration into a wide range of formulations.
The ingredient enables the formation of niosome vesicles, allowing formulators to easily incorporate hydrophilic actives and integrate them seamlessly into a wide range of formulations. This flexible system supports efficient formulation design while maintaining high performance with minimal process adjustments.
Independent testing shows that formulations with Emulgade® Verde PE enhance the penetration of hydrophilic actives into the skin. By improving transport across the skin barrier, it enables greater efficacy without compromising formulation simplicity.
In addition to the performance benefits, Emulgade® Verde PE offers a mild profile suitable for sensitive skin, making it ideal for modern facial, body and hair care applications that balance efficacy and skin compatibility. The ingredient also supports responsible formulation goals, as it is readily biodegradable and manufactured using an environmentally friendly, solvent-free process.
