LignoGuard® is a bio-based multifunctional ingredient from upcycled lignin, a major component of plant biomass. Lignovations’ patented Colloidal Technology makes the natural protective properties of lignin accessible for cosmetic products: boosting SPF, providing antioxidant protection, and improving emulsion stability.

LignoGuard® is developed and manufactured with a focus on scientifically proven efficacy (in-vivo SPF studies), sustainability (COSMOS, NaTrue) and consistent quality (Cosmetic-GMP ISO 22716). It can be used in a wide range of products such as skin care, sun care, color cosmetics and anti-aging to improve performance and replace synthetic ingredients. LignoGuard® has been selected as the winning ingredient of the IFSCC Sustainability Challenge (2023) and Cosmetics & Toiletries Allē Awards (2024).
