Products in Baby Care: Polyhydroxystearic Acid

ALPICARE D 3 is a highly effective dispersant of natural origin, for inorganic pigments, powders and sun filters. Ideal for color cosmetics and suncreens, as well as emulsions with dispersed inorganic particles. Physical form: liquid, 100%

Z-COTE® Simple is a broad-spectrum, inorganic UV filter that boasts excellent photo-stability. Its physical properties allow for elegant and gentle formulations, and it is suitable for use in baby care products. Its ability to provide long wavelength protection makes it ideal for UVA protection. As a pourable, dispersed version of ZnO, it offers formulation flexibility and may help to reduce manufacturing time. Please check for local availability.

PolyAquol™ VO4 is a new, patented technology in the field of emulsions. Unlike standard emulsifiers, it literally creates a Water-and-Oil Fusion; W+O. It is completely natural, as per its Cosmos certification and palm-free origin, and performs even in the presence of 100% vegetable oil. PolyAquol™-VO4 is an easily pourable liquid that allows for the formation of cold-process emulsions. Its ability to accept up to 80% of internal water phase provides full control over the viscosity of the final emulsion. It can create stable emulsions when used in a concentration as low as 2%, and surpasses competition in robustness and sensory appeal.

PolyAquol™ OS2 is a patented, naturally derived W/O polyglycerol self-emulsifier. It can be used for cold-processed emulsions and generates W/O emulsions with a light texture and skin feel. It is compatible with silicone derivatives and enhances the emulsifying properties of other emulsifiers. This natural emulsifier is well-suited for sunscreen and makeup formulations that contain powders and pigments. This natural emulsifier is Ecocert and Cosmos approved.

innollient™ LO is a liquid estolide mainly composed of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with hydrophilic groups that have a high affinity for water molecules. A structural feature of innollient™ LO is the presence of a Guerbet derivative, creating a lipophilic lateral branch. This derivative imparts fluidity and low-friction characteristics to the product. It has an excellent capability in dispersing pigments and UV filters, making it particularly suitable for makeup and sun care formulations. The main benefits provided by this product are its spreadability index, and a unique skin feel comparable to a silicone touch, coupled with a significant improvement in skin resiliency.

innollient™ SL is a soft wax mainly composed of vegetable fatty acids that can create hydrophilic pockets interacting with water molecules through hydrogen bonding. A structural characteristic of innollient™ SL is the use of saturated lipophilic acyl linear chains as capping groups in the estolide assemblage. This provides excellent film-forming properties to the product while reinforcing inter-molecular interactions. The main benefits offered are the film-forming action and a unique emollient capacity coupled with a significant improvement of the skin barrier function.

innollient™ SB is a cosmetic soft paste emollient with several key features, including a sensorial butter texture, an estolide structure, superior film-forming action, improved formulation texture, unique emollient benefits, and a long-lasting effect. It is soluble in oils and cosmetic alcohols when warmed.

G-Block™ DZ 480 CCT is an Ecocert and NPA-approved zinc oxide dispersion for broad-spectrum sunscreen formulations. This dispersion has a critical wavelength over 370nm, allowing formulators to pass the broad-spectrum wavelength test without the need for additional UV filters. It contains the highest concentration of zinc oxide for natural physical UV dispersions in the industry (70%), while still retaining good skin sensory qualities and strong transparency. DZ 480 CCT is also very stable, which creates reliably consistent SPF and critical wavelength results from one batch to the next.

G-Block™ DTB 300 CCT is a fine and stable dispersion of UV-grade and broad-spectrum titanium dioxide in cosmetic oils at a high percentage of active. It can be easily incorporated with conventional equipment into any personal care product to provide broad-spectrum sun protection.

G-Block™ DZ 370 CCT is an Ecocert and NPA-approved zinc oxide dispersion for broad-spectrum sunscreen formulations. This dispersion has a critical wavelength over 370nm, allowing formulators to pass the broad-spectrum wavelength test without the need for additional UV filters. It contains the highest concentration of zinc oxide for natural physical UV dispersions in the industry (70%), while still retaining good skin sensory qualities and strong transparency. DZ 370 CCT is also very stable, which creates reliably consistent SPF and critical wavelength results from one batch to the next.

G-Block™ DT 200 CCT is a fine and stable dispersion of UV-grade titanium dioxide in cosmetic oils with a high percentage of active content. It can be easily incorporated with conventional equipment into any personal care product to provide sun protection benefits.
