- Background
Our structuring agents offer good crystallization behavior and a choice of melting profiles to enable you to achieve the desired texture and consistency for your skin care and color cosmetic applications. Based on vegetable fats, these triglyceride ingredients are designed to show good compatibility with other ingredients when structuring both emulsion and anhydrous formulations and are particularly suitable for cosmetic sticks and pencils.

- Application
Lipex BC™ is especially developed to give bloom control in decorative cosmetic products, such as all extruded pencils for eyes and lips and all stick products like blushes and lipsticks where a long shelf life without white spots is important. It can be combined with a variety of hard waxes and high melting fats as well as most liquid oils used in sticks and pencils.Lipex BC™ also protects against drying out and gives a soft and creamy texture to the cosmetic product.
