In-cosmetics Global 2026: Momentive expands natural ingredient offerings

Momentive Performance Materials will debut its Harmonie NatuDerma emollient and showcase its Harmonie NatuVel gel at In-cosmetics Global 2026, Paris, France (14–16 April).

The international silicones and specialty solutions company will present additions to its beauty and personal care offerings through the expansion of its Harmonie portfolio. It also plans to discuss emerging consumer and ingredient trends.

“Consumers are increasingly demanding naturally derived solutions that truly perform, and that is where the Harmonie line stands out. From our 100% biobased elastomer to the new Harmonie NatuDerma emollient, we are expanding a portfolio that bridges responsible sourcing, formulation functionality, and elevated sensory experiences,” says Jose Luis Conde, global business leader of Naturals at Momentive.

The company’s offerings will also be featured in the In-cosmetics Sensory Zone, underlining the advanced sensorial experiences said to be provided by the ingredients on display.

Sustainable solutions

With a focus on sustainability that does not compromise performance, Momentive leverages its focus on plant and mineral-based feedstocks to provide natural-origin solutions for ecologically-minded formulators. According to the company, this approach underscores the increasing demand for sustainable innovation.

The Harmonie NatuDerma emollient is a fully naturally derived, vegan, non-comedogenic, long-chain branched alkane. It was developed to provide a long-wear skin moisturizing solution. Its low carbon emission production, as well as its compatibility with various raw materials, is said to make the emollient a favorable option for formulators interested in naturally-sourced, high-efficacy ingredients.

Meanwhile, NatuVel gel is a 100% biobased elastomer gel and has won eight awards for its enhanced sensory experience, multifunctional performance, and adaptability across SPF, skin care, and color cosmetics formulations since its launch in 2025.

“This year, we are showcasing technologies that combine sensory excellence, formulation efficiency, and strong consumer-driven benefits, enabling brands to create,” says Andy Park, global business leader for Beauty & Personal Care at Momentive.
