CLEVELAND, Ohio, — Lubrizol is proud to announce that its latest innovation—Polímero ^Carbopol® BioSense—has been awarded the Bronze BSB Innovation Award in the Environment/Raw Materials category. This marks a significant milestone as Carbopol^® BioSense polymer becomes the first readily biodegradable ingredient in the Carbopol^® portfolio.

Designed to meet the growing consumer demand for natural, high-performing ingredients, Carbopol^® BioSense polymer is a naturally derived rheology modifier and sensory enhancer. It delivers a rich and soft, synthetic-like feel comparable to silicone elastomers with absence of stickiness and peeling, making it ideal for a wide range of formulations—from serums and lotions to light creams.

With a 98% natural origin content, the polymer is vegan, COSMOS/ECOCERT certified, and addresses the 12 principles of green chemistry.

El polímero Carbopol^® BioSense es ideal para el cuidado de la piel, ya que ofrece una variedad de emulsiones de viscosidad media de 500 a 15,000 mPa·s. Cuando se combina con modificadores reológicos naturales y sintéticos, permite la creación de una amplia variedad de lociones y cremas livianas. En el cuidado solar, es compatible con filtros UV orgánicos y bajas cantidades de óxido de zinc.

The BSB Innovation Awards, presented annually by Beratungs- und Servicebüro, a leading German cosmetics consultancy, recognize outstanding achievements in the cosmetics industry. The Environment category celebrates ingredients that make a positive impact on the planet, and Carbopol^® BioSense polymer exemplifies this mission.
