Featured Products at SEPAWA 2026

Meet us at Booth D572 for a closer look at these innovations. All are available to order directly through HSH Chemie.

MMB (MethoxyMethylButanol)

Partner supplier: Kuraray Europe GmbH

MMB is a Japanese-developed ingredient redefining sustainable cleaning. It's biodegradable and EU Ecolabel-compliant. And it delivers strong solvency with only a mild odor — an alternative to D-Limonene with safer labeling, non-allergenic properties, and cost-effectiveness.

It performs across the full home care range: laundry detergents, stain removers, multi-purpose cleaners, degreasers, oven sprays, and window and bathroom cleaners. Air fresheners are a standout use case too, thanks to that mild odor and easy compatibility with fragrance systems.

Why formulators choose it:

  • Biodegradable, EU Ecolabel-compliant, low toxicity, and allergen-free
  • Stable across high and low pH; resistant to oxidation
  • VOC-compliant, supporting better air quality, with a low evaporation rate for long-lasting scent
  • Works seamlessly with surfactants and fragrance systems

Surfinesse™ Hydra

Partner supplier: Hallstar

Most PEG-free emollients trade off mildness, transparency, or foam. Surfinesse™ Hydra doesn't. Built on Hallstar's olive-oil-derived chemistry, it's made for cleansers that are gentle in more than just name.

Why formulators choose it:

  • Clinically proven to reduce SLS-induced redness and swelling; full skin recovery in 24 hours
  • 3x smoother after-feel vs. placebo, with no drag or residue
  • Zero trade-off on foam (Ross-Miles tested in SLES systems)
  • Water-soluble and transparent up to 10% use level
  • 100% renewable, ISO 16128 NOI 1, palm-free, and readily biodegradable
  • EU REACH-compliant and vegan-compatible

Sensitizer-Free Fragrances

Partner supplier: Frey+Lau

Hypoallergenic doesn't have to mean forgettable. Frey+Lau's Sensitizer-Free Fragrance collection meets today's highest safety and sustainability standards, designed for formulators who won't compromise on comfort or scent quality.

Why formulators choose it:

  • Sensitizer-free by design: detected below 10 ppm per the EU 2023/1545 standard
  • Ökotest conform
  • Hypoallergenic without sacrificing creative perfumery options
  • Combines safety, comfort, and a high-quality fragrance experience
  • Part of Frey+Lau's growing 11-fragrance sensitizer-free range

Featured in this collection:

  • Aloe Flower — fresh, leafy green, with azalea and pear notes
  • Apple & Eve — fruity, ripe apple
  • Cucumber Care — fresh, green, 100% Natural
  • Tender Touch — floral and creamy, 100% Natural

AZENOVA™

Partner supplier: Vantage

Azelaic acid is one of skincare's best actives, with real results linked to rosacea, troubled skin, erythema reduction, and skin brightening. And it's gaining real momentum, reflected in over 150,000 monthly searches in the US alone. But it's always been hard to formulate: gritty, unstable, and prone to crystallizing.

AZENOVA™ solves that. This patent-pending, micronized azelaic acid comes as a flowable liquid gel, built for easy incorporation into emulsions and gel systems for leave-on skin care — no ethoxylated stabilizers required. And its performance translates: results carry from skin care to body care to hair care.

Why formulators choose it:

  • 45% micronized azelaic acid for smooth, homogenous emulsions, with zero grit and improved bio-availability
  • Matches standard azelaic acid's C. acnes and inflammation-reduction performance at half the concentration
  • At just 5%, rivals 1% kojic acid or 10% standard azelaic acid for melanin inhibition
  • Confirmed bacteriostatic and fungistatic against C. acnes and M. restricta
  • Lower use levels (11.1–22.2%) for better cost-in-use
  • Vegan, ISO 16128-NOI, China IECIC 2015 compliant; 2-year shelf life, preservative-free
