BASF’s Care Creations® opened its Baby Care Competence Center in June 2022. Customers can witness the development of innovative formulas and performance tests in line with the needs of BASF customers.

The Baby Care Competence Center is integrated into BASF’s Innovation Center Turkey and develops sustainable, effective solutions with special ingredients for a wide range of products for baby care including shampoos, wash gels, baby oils, creams, lotions, nappy creams, and wet wipes. Located in Turkey, the aim is to meet the changing needs of the rapidly growing baby care market in the region and beyond.

The Baby Care Competence Center provides support to business partners – not only with its formulations expertise, but also with progressive raw material solutions and differentiating product concepts. Formulations prepared and solutions developed there will also be used by other BASF customers in many different parts of the world, thus shaping the global baby care market.
