Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, has announced the launch of Genadvance Revive, a new functional hair care ingredient designed to bring repair and heat styling together. Activated by heat, Genadvance Revive helps repair hair damaged by bleaching, coloring and environmental stress as consumers blow-dry or straighten it, turning a routine associated with hair damage into an opportunity for repair.

Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant is excited to announce the global launch of KanuFresh (INCI: Glycerin (and) Water (and) Kunzea Ericoides Leaf Extract), an innovative breakthrough that closes the longstanding gap between conventional deodorants and sweat control solutions. Responsibly sourced from Australian kānuka leaves, this ingredient helps minimize visible signs of perspiration and odor, rather than simply masking them.

Excipients are the backbone of every drug formulation. Though often described as "inactive" ingredients, they determine how an active substance dissolves, stabilizes, and ultimately reaches the patient. As formulation complexity grows and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, the industry has moved well beyond asking whether an excipient meets specification. Formulators and quality assurance teams now demand clarity on impurity profiles, endotoxin levels, elemental impurities, nitrosamine risk, and batch-to-batch consistency.

Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced it has been awarded a contract by Zhejiang Petroleum & Chemical Co., Ltd.
