Croda Company Description
Not all chemicals are a naturalist's nightmare. Croda International gets most of its sales from oleochemicals -- derived from natural oils -- used in personal care products, household items, and the plastics industry. For example, wool grease (more commonly known as lanolin) and its derivatives are used in nearly every cosmetic from lipstick to moisturizers. The rest of the company's sales come from industrial chemicals used in adhesives and oil drilling, as well as chemicals such as fats and emulsifiers that are used in foods. In addition, Croda's products have such varied end uses as rust preventatives and explosives.
