Company highlights award-winning HarmonieTM NatuVel gel and debuts HarmonieTM NatuDerma emollient in Paris
Niskayuna, New York – April 1, 2026 – Momentive Performance Materials, Inc. (Momentive), a global high-performance silicones and specialty solutions company, will present its newest innovations for the beauty and personal care market at in‑cosmetics Global 2026, taking place in Paris, France, from April 14–16 at the Porte de Versailles Convention Center, Hall 7. Momentive will be located at booth 3C30, where its experts will showcase the latest additions to the Harmonie™ portfolio and discuss emerging formulation and consumer trends.
Momentive will highlight two flagship technology platforms addressing key performance and sustainability challenges in tire chemistry: NRX™, developed for Truck and Bus Radial (TBR) tire applications, and NXT™, designed for passenger car tires. Both technologies are engineered to support improvements in rolling resistance, wear performance, processing efficiency, and material sustainability across multiple tire segments.
Momentive will also participate in the in-cosmetics Sensory Zone, featuring formulations that spotlight advanced sensorial experiences enabled by its high-performance naturally derived technologies, including the globally awarded Harmonie™ NatuVel gel and the newly introduced Harmonie™ NatuDerma emollient.
Developed for formulators seeking natural-origin solutions without sacrificing performance, the Harmonie™ portfolio combines Momentive’s extensive technical expertise with plant and mineral-based feedstocks. This approach reflects the growing demand for ingredients that support both innovation and sustainability.
Launched in 2025, Harmonie™ NatuVel gel, a 100% biobased elastomer gel, has rapidly become one of the most celebrated innovations in the market, earning eight global awards for its sensory benefits, multifunctionality, and versatility across skin care, color cosmetics, and SPF formulations.
Making its global debut at this year’s show, Harmonie™ NatuDerma emollient is a 100% naturally derived, vegan, non-comedogenic, long chain branched alkane designed to deliver a luxurious and long-lasting skin-conditioning experience. Its compatibility with a wide range of raw materials and its ability to support carbon footprint reduction makes it an attractive choice for brands looking to elevate both performance and naturality.
“Our participation at in-cosmetics Global 2026 reflects Momentive’s commitment to delivering high-performance solutions aligned with the evolving needs of the beauty and personal care market. This year, we are showcasing technologies that combine sensory excellence, formulation efficiency, and strong consumer driven benefits, enabling brands to create products that truly stand out,” said Andy Park, Global Business Leader – Beauty & Personal Care.
“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 HarmonieTM NatuDerma emollient, we are expanding a portfolio that bridges responsible sourcing, formulation functionality, and elevated sensory experiences,” said Jose Luis Conde, Global Business Leader – Naturals.
Visitors are invited to “Feel it to Believe it” by experiencing Momentive’s latest ingredient innovations first-hand at booth 3C30 and at the Sensory Zone.
