innollient™ SL

1 of 3 products in this brand
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.

Technical Details & Test Data

Clinical Efficacy

Skin barrier

 

  • One single application of a formulation containing 3% innollient™SL significantly improves the skin barrier function. The positive action is observed already 1 hour after its application and lasts for up to 8 hours

 

Skin resiliency

 

  • One single application of a formulation containing 3% innollient™SL significantly im- proves the skin resiliency (cutometry). The positive action is observed already 1 hour after its application and lasts for up to 8 hours
Clinical Self-assessment

Self-assessment of a formulation containing 3% innollientTMSL, versus placebo, for various sensorial parameters

  • 20 subjects
  • Assessment after 3 days of use; half-face regimen
  • Placebo-controlled; blind protocol

  • innollient™SL positively contributes to the sensorial properties of a formulation
Sensorial Evaluations

innollient™ SL vs Jojoba Oil

                        

innollient™SL brings distinctive sen- sorial properties to a formulation. The  skin sensory profile of innollient™SL advantageously compares to that of Jojoba oil especially for the emolliency,  film-forming and spreadability parameters.
