Cognis was aquired by BASF and the merger of BASF with LS led to the creation of BASF Beauty Creations. From January 2012, Botanichem has been the supplier for these actives in South Africa. The laboratory is still functioning and has formulated products for companies such as Nimue, AMKA and Lee-Chem laboratories.
