(PRESS RELEASE) HOLZMINDEN, 8-Apr-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Symrise has expanded its Mindera® platform with the introduction of Mindera® Euca, a new plant-based ingredient designed to enhance product protection and sensorial performance in rinse-off personal care applications. The launch strengthens the company’s Care & Wellness portfolio and responds to growing demand for natural, high-performing cosmetic solutions.

Building on its patented Mindera® technology, Symrise is extending its product protection capabilities beyond leave-on formulations to include rinse-off products such as shampoos, cleansers, and body washes. The platform provides a natural, multifunctional shield that supports product stability and safety across a wide range of personal care categories.

Mindera® Euca, a 100% plant-based ingredient (INCI: Piperitone, registration in progress), offers multiple functional benefits for formulators. It enhances foam quality and volume, delivering a dense and rich lather even in sulphate-free systems. In addition, it contributes to improved viscosity and texture, helping create more appealing product formulations and a refined sensory experience for consumers.

Alongside its sensorial advantages, the ingredient provides effective product protection across a broad pH range, supporting consistent performance and safety in everyday use. This combination of benefits enables brands to develop rinse-off products that align with consumer expectations for both functionality and wellness.

Advika Juliet, Global Product Manager for Product Protection at Symrise, highlighted that consumers are increasingly seeking personal care routines that combine convenience with a sense of well-being. She noted that sensorial qualities play an important role in meeting these expectations, particularly as interest grows in natural and responsible ingredients. Mindera® Euca is designed to help brands address these trends while maintaining high performance standards.

The Mindera® platform now includes five multifunctional ingredients, all derived from plant-based sources and supported by a strong patent portfolio. By leveraging scientifically validated natural components, the platform enables manufacturers to deliver safe, effective, and premium product experiences.

Symrise will showcase Mindera® Euca and its broader range of cosmetic innovations at in-cosmetics Global 2026, taking place in Paris from April 14 to 16, where visitors can explore its capabilities within the Care & Wellness Division portfolio.
