Lignin-based cosmetic ingredients
Our process transforms lignin — an abundant industrial by-product —
into high-performance, multifunctional ingredients
for next-generation cosmetic formulations.
About Us
LignoBeauty develops lignin-based ingredients designed to meet the performance and sustainability demands of modern cosmetic formulations. By valorizing lignin from diverse industrial sources, including paper and forestry by-products, we provide unique alternatives to petrochemical-derived and synthetic ingredients.
Our Technology
Our patent-pending technology enables the conversion of lignins into high-performance emulsifiers without chemical modification — scalable, efficient and traceable from source to formulation.
Our Products
Emulsion formulated with 0.6% (w/w) EmuLigTM Latte
Emulsion formulated with 1% (w/w) EmuLigTM Dolce
Applications
EmuLig improves UV filter dispersion through its high oil-absorbing capacity. Its photostability and antioxidant properties protect active ingredients under UV exposure. The SPF-boosting effect may help reduce the overall amount of UV filters required.
EmuLig delivers stable, creamy textures in conditioners and masks. It improves formulation thickness and spreadability. Its antioxidant properties help protect hair fibers from environmental damage and enhances product stability under heat stress.
EmuLig creates elegant, stable emulsions with a rich skin feel. It supports active ingredient stability through antioxidant and thermal protection. Improves texture and viscosity without compromising lightness — ideal for creams, lotions and advanced treatment formulas.
EmuLig ensures smooth, stable emulsions in color cosmetics. It enhances pigment dispersion for more uniform coverage. Improves product longevity with excellent thermal, antioxidant and photostability performance.
