What Sharon Personal Care does

Sharon Personal Care, operating under the legal entity Eternis Personal Care, is a global B2B supplier of specialty ingredient solutions for the cosmetics and personal care industry. The company supplies formulation chemists at cosmetic and personal care manufacturers with a portfolio spanning four core categories: texture ingredients (e.g., RESPLANTA, EMULPHARMA, RESASSOL, SHAROSURF, SHAROFEEL), preservation systems (Sharomix AMPLIFY, SharoSense Plus, SharoWIPES, Sharon Aquavita, organic acid blends, classics), active ingredients (PANTROFINA/HYDRAFEEL-3, SHARODERM, SHAROHYAL, OLEOSOME, Hydresia), and smart solutions (Resconcept, Resconcept Sun, Resolving). The company's products are deployed across six end-application segments: body care, hair care, make-up, skin care, sun care, and wet wipes. Customer engagement is structured around direct enterprise sales with embedded technical collaboration with customers' commercial, R&D, and formulation teams.

The technical foundation rests on proprietary chemistry platforms including Phase Inversion Temperature (PIT) and Phase Inversion Concentration (PIC) technologies used in Resconcept concentrated O/W emulsions, Winsor 4 micellar technology underpinning the Resolving line, safflower oleosome-based delivery systems (Hydresia SF2, OLEOSOME), and a published mechanistic discovery around niacinamide antimicrobial activity via DNA intercalation. The company operates manufacturing and scientific facilities in Israel and Italy, with commercial offices in the United States, Germany, and France, supporting a global B2B go-to-market. Pricing is quote-based through direct customer engagement and is not publicly disclosed; the company monetizes through ingredient sales and proprietary branded formulation solutions, with no consumer-facing product. Recent corporate activity includes a rebranding from Sharon Personal Care to Eternis Personal Care and a 2025 industry-association partnership with INDA Nonwovens to deepen presence in the wet wipes segment.
