Journal of Cosmetic Science Features Anomera Article
Anomera scientists has contributed a new peer‑reviewed article to the Journal of Cosmetic Science, titled “Decoding Cellulose – Understanding Critical Attributes for Formulation Efficacy.”
This publication highlights why not all celluloses are created equal—an important insight for formulators navigating increasingly complex clean‑beauty and high‑performance requirements. As noted in our February 23 LinkedIn update, the study underscores several key findings:
- Particle size and shape are major determinants of optical performance in formulations.
- Natural cellulose maintains birefringence, enhancing soft‑focus effects.
- Fibrous or large particles (>10 μm) can negatively impact sensory feel, reinforcing the importance of selecting the right cellulose morphology.
The paper provides clear evidence that a “one-size-fits-all” approach to cellulose selection does not work. Instead, careful differentiation between cellulose types enables superior optical, sensory, and sustainability outcomes—a core principle guiding Anomera’s work in transforming FSC®‑certified wood cellulose into high‑performance, biodegradable ingredients.
The article was authored by Clémentine Fabre, Heather McNeil, Tim Morse, and Nathan Hordy, members of Anomera’s R&D team dedicated to advancing the science of sustainable formulation technologies.
We invite you to explore the full study to learn how this research supports the next generation of clean, high‑performance cosmetic innovation. Download the full paper https://lnkd.in/e7veDags to learn how science and sustainability converge in cellulose innovation.
