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.

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™ 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.

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.
