Fibenol\u2019s unique fractionation technology efficiently converts wood processing residues into lignin and wood sugars at an industrial scale. LIGNOVA\u2122 <\/a>is made from locally generated forestry and wood industry residues \u2013 sawdust, woodchips, and low-quality hardwood.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lignovations<\/a> refines, purifies, and homogenizes LIGNOVA\u2122 into the unique LignoGuard\u00ae particle form which greatly increases the performance, dispersibility, and functionality of the lignin source material. As a result, LignoGuard\u00ae is compatible even with sensitive skin and can successfully be integrated into cosmetic formulations. In skin care applications LignoGuard\u00ae can serve multiple functions such as significantly reducing the amount of synthetic and mineral UV filters and serving as a natural antioxidant as well as an emulsion stabilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCollaborating with Lignovations has been of high importance for Fibenol as we see the high customer awareness and demand for low environmental impact products in the cosmetics field. The sector puts a strong focus on the transparency and sustainability of the full value chain to move away from petrochemicals. To have LignoGuard\u00ae made from our LIGNOVA\u2122 lignin confirmed safe to use in cosmetics highlights the true potential of our lignin. It paves the way for LIGNOVA\u2122 to be used in a wide range of end-use applications from bitumen replacement in asphalt to specialty applications in cosmetics, \u201c explains Peep Pitk, CDO of Fibenol<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In recent years an increasing number of chemical ingredients have been banned by regulators due to health and environmental concerns. In conjunction with a shift in consumer preferences, the demand for sustainable ingredients has increased sharply. Therefore, Lignovations manufactures LignoGuard\u00ae without the use of any harmful chemicals and has received the eco-certification COSMOS by ECOCERT for the use in natural cosmetics, highlighting that it is not only safe for humans but also for the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTogether with Fibenol, we meet the high-quality standards that are needed to successfully turn lignin into a safe functional ingredient for the most demanding applications. The successful safety assessment of our LignoGuard\u00ae material proves that our technology is a key enabler for the safe use of lignin in cosmetics products,\u201d says Martin Miltner, CEO of Lignovations<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Besides cosmetics, Lignovations\u2019 LignoGuard\u00ae can also be used to improve the sustainability of coatings, packaging, and many other applications. Together, Fibenol and Lignovations are working towards unlocking the full potential of lignin to accelerate the transition to a bio-based circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
