What makes a baby's bottom so smooth, anyway? Well, Evonik Stockhausen's absorbent polymers are used in diapers to take the wetness away from the skin, so maybe that's it. The company also manufactures chemicals for skin care treatments (synthetic detergents and heavy-duty cleaners). Stockhausen's US manufacturing facilities are located in North Carolina and Louisiana. Among the brand names those products are sold under are Favor (superabsorbers used in diapers and other products), Stoko (for skin care and cleaning products), and Creasorb (fluid management products). It's the American branch of Evonik Degussa subsidiary Evonik Stockhausen GmbH.
