DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products Partners with Bio-Botanica® Inc.

ZeaBasicsTM botanical extracts made with Zemea® Propanediol

DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products Company LLC is excited to announce that it has partnered with Bio-Botanica® Inc. in creating a new line of botanical extracts called ZeaBasicsTM. These products, manufactured by Bio-Botanica® Inc., feature the proprietary ingredient Zemea® propanediol.

Zemea® is a natural, 100 percent biobased ingredient made from corn sugar through fermentation and developed for use in the cosmetics and personal care market. It is a high-performance, environmentally sustainable alternative to petroleum-based glycols and glycerin, where the product’s lack of skin irritation, improved moisturization and excellent aesthetic properties are benefits. Zemea® is approved as a natural ingredient by Ecocert, Natrue and the Natural Products Association; is certified 100 percent biobased by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and has both Kosher and Halal certifications.

Bio-Botanica® Inc. utilizes its proprietary Bio-Chelated® process to manufacture the botanical extracts and combines them with Zemea® for natural personal care and cosmetic applications. ZeaBasicsTM combines 40 years of botanical extract manufacturing experience from Bio-Botanica® with the new technology of Zemea®.

Formulators should consider ZeaBasicsTM for their natural products. ZeaBasicsTM provide exceptional natural botanical benefits while reducing the feeling of tackiness, greasiness and increasing the perception of easy absorption and smoothness, providing an overall pleasant consumer experience.
