WILMINGTON, Del., February 22, 2024 – Henkel Consumer Brands recognized Ashland Global Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ASH) with two personal care supplier awards including the best innovation contributor award for hair care and runner-up in the sustainability category. The announcement was made during the 2024 American Cleaning Institute (ACI) Annual Meeting and Industry Convention, Jan. 29, – Feb. 2, 2024, in Orlando, Florida. Ashland Fiberhance™ bm solution was recognized as the best innovation contributor award for hair care. It was noted as a benchmark in hair strengthening, evolving from glucose-based chemistry.

Henkel recognized Ashland’s excellent support in developing a plant-based bonding repair technology. Ashland Styleze™ es-dura ingredient was recognized as runner-up in the sustainability category.
