MIDLAND, Mich.Dow Corning Corporation and Elevance Renewable Sciences Inc. announced they signed joint agreements to create and market a line of naturally derived ingredients for the personal care market.

Stephen Gosney, global beauty care industry director, Dow Corning, said, “We believe the combination of silicon technology with Elevance’s natural-based products provides the market with functional and performance benefits for a wide variety of applications.”

The companies have already developed two products: Dow Corning HY-3050 Soy Wax, designed for use as a naturally derived structuring agent, and Dow Corning HY-3051 Soy Wax Blend, a blend of HY-3050 Soy Wax and hydrogenated soybean oil that serves as a naturally derived alternative to petrolatum. Both products are used in skin care, color cosmetics, hair care and underarm products.

These products are currently available for commercial sale in locales around the United States and Latin America and are available for sampling in Canada and Europe. The companies intend to expand commercialization of these products more globally later this year.
