Replacing Microplastics in Cosmetics with Biodegradable Cellulose Ester Technology
Eastman is accelerating the shift away from intentionally added microplastics in colour cosmetics with Esmeri™ CC1N10, a readily biodegradable cellulose ester micropowder designed to replace traditional synthetic polymer particles without compromising performance. By combining material innovation with deep expertise in cellulose ester chemistry, the company is enabling beauty brands to meet tightening EU regulatory requirements while maintaining the texture, coverage and sensory quality consumers expect.
