.

Chemiplas are excited to partner with Floratech, which is part of the Cargill Beauty portfolio. A leading global provider of natural ingredients for beauty and personal care applications, Floratech offers innovative jojoba esters, jojoba derivatives, macadamia oil derivatives, stabilised high-oleic sunflower seed oil, moringa oil and butter and other specialty particles.

Chemiplas Business Manager Food and Personal Care, Anna Hinstridge says “The Floratech-Chemiplas partnership means greater flexibility for New Zealand manufacturers of beauty and personal care products; benefit from efficiencies in Chemiplas’ supply chain, privately owned warehousing, and 45 years’ experience in servicing NZ industries.

“Furthermore, partnering with Floratech and Cargill Beauty enables both Chemiplas and local manufacturers to provide solutions from farm to face.

“With today’s consumers asking where a product comes from, how it is produced, what’s in it and to make sure it has been ethically and sustainably produced without compromising performance, it’s even more important that we champion a responsible supply chain.”

Based in Arizona, Floratech houses a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, quality and R&D laboratory, distribution warehouse, and Consumer Testing Laboratory (CTL) which conducts claim substantiation and evaluates the efficacy of Floratech ingredients and products. They offer good technical support too.

One of the key benefits of the Floratech range is the stability of their products.

Jojoba oil is a natural ‘oil’ produced from the seed of the Chinensis plant, which is native to southern Arizona. Requiring very little water, it can be grown on land that is often unsuitable for other types of crops. In addition, jojoba is a polycarpic plant, which means that only the fruits are harvested, making replanting unnecessary.

Not a true oil, jojoba is in fact a wax ester, and this is a large part of what makes it unique; wax esters are the main component in human sebum. So, Jojoba oil is as close to the human skin's natural oil as you can get.

The Floratech range includes the following innovations:

• Floratech’s oxidatively stable emollients range covering multifunctional jojoba-based esters, superior macadamia, sunflower and moringa oils, and moringa butter, offering luxurious skin feel in a variety of textures. Other benefits include improved skin hydration and barrier recovery, extended shelf life of finished products, alternative to low viscosity silicones and film-forming across a wide range of applications.

• Floratech’s botanical beads include natural, biodegradable, microplastic-free exfoliating beads as well as particles for decorative purposes and delivery of actives and emollience in a range of colours and sizes.

• Floratech L22® - a patented formula of botanically sourced lipids developed specifically to deliver the skin-lipid profile of a healthy 22-year-old. Clinical studies show that L22 outperforms other common emollients for skin hydration, elasticity, firmness, and barrier recovery.
