Long-time customer Henkel recognizes Sasol for
innovative oleochemical-based paraffin emollient
Sasol Chemicals, a business unit of Sasol Ltd.
(JSE: SOL; NYSE: SSL), has received Henkel’s Beauty Care
Sustainability Award 2021 for an innovative product used to make
more sustainable deodorants.
Each year Henkel recognizes its top suppliers with this
prestigious award. This year, Sasol Chemicals was recognized for
its high-purity oleochemical-based paraffin emollient PARAFOL that
is used as an alternative for silicone oils in Henkel’s Fa
deodorant brand.
“We thank Sasol Chemicals for its expertise in replacing
silicone oil with a sustainably sourced high-purity paraffin,” said
Frank Meyer, Henkel’s Corporate Vice President R&D Beauty Care.
“This helps us implement our sustainability and performance
roadmap.”
“Sustainability is a key driver of Sasol Chemicals’ strategy,
and our unique chemistry and focus on exceptional product
performance provide opportunities to partner with customers to
answer the broader, global sustainability call,” said Silke Hoppe,
Sasol Chemicals Vice President of Essential Care Chemicals. “We’re
delighted to be recognized for helping our long-term partner Henkel
make its products more sustainable.”
The PARAFOL product line, manufactured at the company’s plant in
Brunsbüttel, Germany, is part of Sasol Chemicals’ broad range of
ingredients and solutions that can be tailored for many personal
care and cosmetics applications. Emollients are used in personal
care products to enable them to be applied smoothly on the skin. As
a very light emollient, PARAFOL spreads, evaporates and dries
quickly, helping it distribute a product’s other ingredients
smoothly and evenly without an oily feel. Because it is a
biodegradable, high-purity, linear paraffin derived from renewable
resources, it is an ideal choice for replacing light and volatile
silicone oils like cyclomethicones (for example, cyclopentasiloxane
[D5]), as well as volatile dimethicones, to enable more
environmentally friendly formulations.
