PRODUCT

Lignovations functional ingredients unlock the power of lignin.

COLLOIDAL LIGNIN PARTICLES

To create the most sustainable ingredients, we make use of nature’s ingenuity. In plants, Lignin fulfills important protective functions.
Through our patented technology we create Lignin Particles in colloidal form which unlocks their functionalities for high-value applications like cosmetics, coatings and packaging.

SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS

PERSONAL CARE

Our innovative material can significantly improve the performance, sustainability and convenience of skin care products.

PERSONAL CARE
UV PROTECTION

Lignovations’ Colloidal Lignin Particles boost the performance of common synthetic and mineral UV filters enabling an increase in SPF while reducing their concentration.

Especially in mineral formulations reducing the amount of Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide reduces undesired whitening effects and makes the product lighter.

PERSONAL CARE
ANTIOXIDANT

Lignovations’ Colloidal Lignin Particles provide antioxidative properties due to their natural phenolic structure.

PERSONAL CARE
EMULSIFIER

Due to their unique physical properties, Lignovations’ Colloidal Lignin Particles bind to the interface between the oil and water phase, making the emulsion more stable. Lignin in our special colloidal form even enables the stabilization of emulsions with small droplets, so-called ‘Pickering Emulsions’.

USE THE POWER OF LIGNIN

Benefit from the natural protective properties of Lignin and create unique cosmetics formulations using Lignovations’ Colloidal Lignin Particles.

COATINGS

Just as lignin protects the plant, its functions can be used to protect wood products from sunlight and oxidation.

PACKAGING

Packaging products can benefit from lignin’s mechanical stability and protection from sunlight, oxidation and microbial attacks.

TEXTILES

Lignin provides natural water-repellent – an effect that can be exploited for functional textiles.

FOOD INGREDIENTS

The antioxidant properties and positive health effects of lignin can support a healthy diet.

AND MORE

Drug delivery agents, graphene, carbon fibres and even battery components can be made from lignin.

COLLABORATE TO INNOVATE

Lignin has untapped potential in a variety of high-value applications. We partner with businesses looking to make bold advances in the production of renewable and recyclable materials.
