Clean Beauty Powered by Bio-Innovations from Finland
CH-Bioforce and Nordic Bioproducts Group will showcase Finnish circular, 100% biobased, fossil-free and biodegradable innovations for the cosmetics industry at in-cosmetics Global, Paris, 14–16 April 2026.
HAIRFORSENSE™ Technology: A new generation of bio-based, microplastic-free hairstyling performance
For decades, hairstyling performance has relied on fossil-derived synthetic polymers to deliver hold, texture and control. While skincare and hair care have undergone significant sustainability-driven innovation, hairstyling has remained largely unchanged and is still dependent on petrochemical film formers that persist in the environment and increasingly fall under microplastic scrutiny.
CH-Bioforce Media Release January 13th 2026: Finnish biorefinery CH-Bioforce achieves COSMOS certification for XYLENSE® and LIGNENSE® produced with patented BIOFORSENSE® technology
As CH-Bioforce achieves COSMOS certification for XYLENSE® and LIGNENSE® we have sent out a media release regarding this achievement.
New study demonstrates CH-Bioforce lignins as promising building blocks for pressure-sensitive adhesives
A new peer-reviewed study shows how CH-Bioforce lignins from birch, spruce and wheat straw can be grafted with poly(n-butyl acrylate) to create soft, high-performance materials for pressure-sensitive adhesives. The results demonstrate lignin’s strong potential as a renewable alternative to fossil-based adhesive materials.
New study reveals unique structure and high reactivity of CH-Bioforce oat husk lignin
A new peer-reviewed study reveals the detailed structure and high reactivity of oat husk lignin produced with CH-Bioforce’s BIOFORSENSE® technology. This sulfur-free, high-purity lignin shows strong potential for adhesives, coatings, composites and carbon materials, highlighting oat husk as a valuable renewable raw material.
Breakthrough research confirms antimicrobial power of CH-Bioforce Lignins
The world is facing a growing threat from viruses and bacteria, including new pathogens, drug-resistant strains and microbes that can survive on surfaces for days or even weeks. Traditional antimicrobial solutions often rely on synthetic chemicals or metals, which can raise concerns about health, safety and environmental impact.
