WACKER to Highlight Innovative Personal Care Ingredients at NYSCC Suppliers' Day 2026

Wacker Chemical Corporation is gearing up to showcase cutting-edge personal care ingredient technologies at the upcoming NYSCC Suppliers' Day 2026, scheduled for May 19-20 in New York City at Booth #343. This event promises to be a pivotal opportunity for personal care professionals to explore novel offerings in formulations for hair care, skin care, sun care, and color cosmetics.

At the forefront of WACKER's exhibit will be ingredients designed to optimize performance, promote biodegradability, and leverage plant-based raw materials. With an increasing trend toward sustainable formulation options, WACKER plans to engage attendees in discussions highlighting contemporary priorities in personal care formulations.

Featured Ingredients

Among the products WACKER will present are:

BELNEXT® TAL 1840 M

This cationic emulsifier, specifically engineered for hair care formulations, is derived from theanine. It serves both rinse-off and leave-on applications, enhancing conditioning performance, combability, and emulsion stability. Notably, it presents itself as a plant-based and readily biodegradable alternative to traditional quaternary compounds, appealing to eco-conscious brands.

BELNEXT® EMO FH 2

An emollient tailored for diverse applications, including skin care, sun care, hair care, and color cosmetics, BELNEXT® EMO FH 2 is designed to enhance pigment dispersion and color intensity in makeup. In addition to these cosmetic benefits, this functional ingredient provides a velvety skin sensation and contributes to performance characteristics such as gloss, combability, and moisture resistance in hair care formulations. Extensive testing has indicated its robust stability even under elevated temperatures, marking it as an excellent choice for formulators.

BELSIL® Silicone Technologies

In addition to the new BELNEXT® innovations, WACKER will highlight select BELSIL® silicone technologies. These silicones are known for their ability to complement biobased ingredients, successfully meeting critical formulation needs such as sensory appeal, conditioning properties, and enhancing styling capabilities across various personal care products. WACKER's approach underscores the convergence of silicone and bio-based technologies in delivering high-quality formulations.

Industry Trends and Priorities

Lida Sichaca, Marketing Manager at Wacker Chemical Corporation, emphasizes the evolving demands of personal care brands and formulators. "Today, our partners expect more from their ingredients than ever before. At Suppliers' Day, we look forward to engaging in meaningful dialogues focused on ingredient performance, responsibly sourced raw materials, and the need for flexibility in formulation. This year's exhibition highlights our commitment to these essential priorities."

As personal care brands navigate increasing scrutiny over environmental impact and sustainability, WACKER's advancements in the realm of biodegradable, plant-based, and high-performance ingredients stand out. The new product offerings reflect a deep understanding of the market's shifting expectations, ensuring formulators are equipped with innovative solutions that meet modern consumer demand.
