Indian personal care supplier Mane Kancor Ingredients this month presented its portfolio of natural products at in-cosmetics Global 2026 in Paris, France.
At the forefront of the Keralan company’s showcase were three key active ingredients: Purakan, Kanshield Max and Redpro.
KanShield Max, a COSMOS-approved SPF booster, enhances SPF performance and broad-spectrum protection while reducing reliance on conventional UV filters.
Designed to work synergistically within sunscreen systems, it supports photostability, improves formulation aesthetics, and enables optimized filter load without compromising product performance.
Purakan is a patented, microbiome-friendly scalp care active developed as a natural alternative to traditional anti-dandruff actives.
It targets dandruff associated with Malassezia while supporting scalp microflora balance.
Clinical evaluations demonstrate visible improvements in dandruff reduction, flaking, and pruritus, with sustained efficacy.
Expanding into lip care, Redpro supports hydration, enhances lip appearance, and contributes to a more even-toned look.
Its performance, validated through in vitro and in vivo assessments, shows improvements in moisturization and visible reduction in lip pigmentation over time.
Complementing these actives, Mane Kancor also presented C-Capture, its range of natural colour solutions, and its Ayurveda-inspired ingredient range, which combines traditional botanical knowledge with standardized processes to ensure consistency and compatibility with modern formulations.
The company’s portfolio is supported by an integrated sustainability approach, including backward integration with farmer networks, traceability systems, certified sourcing, resource-efficient processing, and the use of upcycled botanical materials.
