The cosmetic ingredient Thermolat® focuses on the well-being and comfort of consumers – providing a pleasant warming effect on the skin. The ingredient can contribute to improving the perceived effectiveness of body care products. “The outstanding properties of Thermolat® impressed the panel and we are very pleased about this award,” says Caroline Baptiste, Global Product Manager Actives at Symrise. “With this, we have once again proven our expertise as a provider of sensory ingredients. This motivates us to continue our work on innovative products that benefit consumers.”


Thermolat® Impresses with its Diverse Potential

Alongside of its benefits for consumers, the ingredient also impresses with its various application possibilities. Thanks to its gentle and safe profile, Thermolat® can be used in a wide range of body care, facial care, and scalp care applications. The ingredient is a ready-to-use solution for brands looking to increase the sensory feel of their textures and achieve a greater presence on the cosmetics market.

Dragosine® Increases the Skin’s Natural Defense
