𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼-𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼-𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 🌱🌌 Microplastics are only tiny, small particles, but they can cause seriously big problems. Annually an estimated 14 million tons of microplastics ends up in the environment and there is a concern that solid polymers used in cosmetics can contribute to this accumulation.  We truly care about developing and providing safer alternatives to microplastics. Our 𝗥𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗙𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗿® 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 are sustainable ingredients that – mixed in the right ratio – provide an immediate and effective alternative to microplastics, whilst offering additional cosmetic properties like a soft-focus effect, optical wrinkle reduction, superior skin feel and transparency. 💆 Our #CleanBeautyIs series has come a long way and after 8 weeks of postings we´ve now explained the last hidden aspect of Clean Beauty 💎✨ At Merck, we care about our planet, and we support our sustainable efforts by sharing our knowledge and solutions. By choosing trustworthy and transparent suppliers, you too can be part of the solution and help reduce the macro impact from micro plastics.  👀 Feeling Curious about our 𝗥𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗙𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗿® 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 that mimic microplastics and related products, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gQwa97P  #microplastics #CleanBeautyIs #mercksurfacesolutions 

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 ‘𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗼’ 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆! The merge of skincare and makeup opens up promising possibilities for innovative solutions 💄✨  Skinification, multi-functional benefits, high-performance formulations, sustainable sourcing and superhero ingredients are all trending for cosmetics brands. Including ‘superhero’ ingredients 🦸♀️ is a clear win-win for cosmetics brands - it fulfills key consumer expectations on claims, efficacy and safety. By embracing sustainability, this approach leads to a reduction in the required number of ingredients and fosters the development of enhanced beauty products. Empowering your formulation to become a superhero product by selecting ingredients with multi-functional attributes is the 6th step on our #CleanBeautyIs journey.
