    Actigum™ VSX20 - Bio-fermentation: a way to explore efficient and eco-conscious cosmetic products.
    COSMOS approved, cold processable slightly anionic biopolymer, combination of sclerotium and xanthan gum. This biopolymer is obtained through a process of aerobic fermentation of sugars with strains of non-GMO Sclerotium rolfsii and Xanthomonas campestris. Sources in the fermentation broth are of 100% vegetable origin: wheat and sugar beet.
    This biopolymer is a performant versatile texturizer: effective viscosity builder, performant suspensive agent (≥0.3% dose) and emulsion stabilizer that contributes a very pleasant, light, smooth, and slightly fresh sensoriality to formulations. It has sprayable properties and creates translucent gels. It is stable in a wide pH range (3-12) and has a broad compatibility profile (electrolytes, surfactants, alcohol, preservatives and high temperatures) which makes it suitable for use in a wide range of applications. It may be used alone or in combination with other texturizers to give original textures.
    High shear is necessary to fully develop the desired properties of the sclerotium gum family and thus they must be dispersed using a homogenizer R/S type equipment: Silverson L5M-A (5000rpm, 5min) and Ultra Turrax T25 (12000rpm, 15-20min). Cold process is possible, heating (80°C) will only make faster the deployment of the polymer. In emulsions Actigum™ VSX 20 can be either dispersed in the water phase or in the oil phase (similar viscosity and particle size). When dispersed in water, preblending Actigum™ VSX 20 in glycerin is recommended to avoid lump formation.
    Bio-fermentation process is a low carbon foot-print solution. By selecting the right micro-organism and the right substrate, possibilities are limitless. A wide range of actives are coming from bio-fermentation like radiance enhancers, energizers and wrinkle fillers but we see more and more complex functional ingredients emerging in the beauty and personal care market for playing on the texture, stabilizing, emulsifying or to improve performance (solubilizer, deposition aids) of different products.

It has very good effects on the skin, acting as a moisturizer and emollient agent to improve skin elasticity and suppleness. In hair care applications it soothes the scalp, repairs breakage and controls dandruff.
    Floraesters® K-100 Jojoba is a versatile ingredient comprised of hydrolyzed jojoba esters and jojoba esters, derived from jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis). It provides multiple benefits to the skin, such as moisturizing, repairing and protecting the skin barrier, while giving the skin an aesthetic softness and emollience due to the jojoba.
    Its substantivity makes it well-suited to trap molecules such as glycerin and other glycols on the surface of the skin, thus improving its moisturizing potential. They can trap other small molecules on the surface of the skin or hair, improving the effectiveness of the product. Their substantivity also makes them capable of depositing on hair fibres, thus maintaining long-lasting conditioning effects on the hair shaft.
    They have also been shown to prevent symptoms of irritation and barrier dysfunction (increased TEWL) caused by irritants, pollutants and sensitizers.
    Its film-forming properties make it ideal for rinse-off products and products that require water resistance or extended dwell time on the skin or hair. They can provide water resistance, wear resistance and transfer resistance to finished formulas.
    They have a pH range from 9-11 but are stable down to a pH of 3. This unique property allows the formulator to neutralize polymeric systems to form a stable gel; they can also neutralize many existing carbomers.
    Floraesters® K-100 Jojoba is designed to be used at 1/5 the usage level of Floraesters® K-20W Jojoba. They can be directly added to and dispersed within the oil phase, or pre-dispersed with glycerin, glycols or alcohol.

    Floralipids Moringa Oil Refined
    Moisturizing and hydrating oxidatively stable oil
    Floralipids Moringa Oil Refined is a refined triglyceride oil obtained from the plant species Moringa oleifera. Crude moringa oil is extracted from the moringa seeds via mechanical crushing. The crude oil is then carefully refined, bleached, and deodorized to produce a low colour and odour product.
    It has a unique fatty acid profile, rich in oleic and behenic acids, and contains exceedingly low levels of polyunsaturates. It is shown to be one of the most oxidatively stable botanical oils commercially available and can extend the shelf life of finished products.
    It provides rich emollience, a luxurious silky skin feel, skin hydration, nourishment, moisturization and softens dry skin; ideal for use in all applications, especially those used to treat rough, dry skin. Also has been shown to increase hair shine.
    It has medium pigment-wetting properties, high slip, low spread, medium absorption and high gloss.
    Moringa has benefited humanity since antiquity. Ancient Egyptians used moringa in cosmetics, medicine and remedies for skin disorders. Moringa has also been used in India and Africa as a source of sustenance providing much needed nutrients and vitamins. The moringa tree in Senegal is called the Nebeday, meaning “the tree that never dies,” because of the tree’s ability to grow and survive under many conditions.
    Moringa oil and the leaves of the moringa tree are the latest trend in health and beauty. The leaves are sought for their abundance of vitamins and antioxidants and the oil for its stability, functionality and rich emolliency. Moringa oil is found in numerous cosmetics due to its stable moisturizing, cleansing and emollient properties. With high amount of oleic acid, it penetrates deeply into the skin, bringing nutrients to the skin and hair, and helping it to retain moisture.

    Florasolvs Sunflower-10
    Florasolvs® Sunflower-10 is an excellent way to provide sunflower oil emolliency in water-based formulas. It is a hydrophilic, water-dispersible liquid emollient derived from ethoxylated high oleic sunflower oil glycerides. Its incorporation in formulations leaves skin feeling smooth and soft and it conditions the hair. Primary application areas to date have included body washes, shower gels and facial scrubs in addition to shampoos.
    Florasolvs® Sunflower-10 also functions as a fragrance solubilizer, secondary surfactant and emulsifier. It improves refatting and fragrance transfer to skin and hair in surfactant systems without compromising clarity and viscosity. A shampoo formula containing it provides excellent shine and “comb-out” and exhibits a good “tight” foam. Viscosity can easily be controlled by salt concentration.
    Florasolvs® Sunflower-10 is ideally suited for clear aqueous products, allowing for many colour addition options. It is of neutral pH, with a refractive index of about 1.460 and HLB 8.0, and can be used in the formulation of micro-emulsions.

    Florasun® 90
    Refined emollient with superior oxidative stability, easy absorption, and elegant skin-feel
    Helianthus annuus or sunflower seed oil is used in several skincare and cosmetic products. It is used for its potential to provide benefits such as decreasing inflammation, replenishing the skin’s barrier, and improving hair loss conditions. It is also often used to help improve the texture and sensory feel of a product by acting as an emollient.
    As an emollient, sunflower seed oil works to soften and soothe the skin while also acting as a mild occlusive ingredient. Sunflower seed oil is also commonly used in hair conditioners and other hair products due to its emollient properties, as it has a softening effect on the hair and helps to prevent breakage.
    Refined emollient with elegant skin feel and oxidative stability
    Florasun® 90 is a natural triglyceride oil with excellent emolliency and superb oxidative stability, attributing to its high oleic content of >85% and low levels of polyunsaturated. Florasun® 90 can extend the shelf life of finished formulations.
    Oleic acid, found in skin surface lipids, is the major fatty acid in Florasun® 90 which allows for easy absorption into the skin without the greasy feel on the skin like other oils.
    The oil is pressed from the finest sunflower seeds which are carefully refined to produce a low color and low odor product.
    Florasun® 90 is oxidatively stable due to its low levels of polyunsaturated and high levels of monounsaturated. Traditional sunflower oil has important levels of polyunsaturated, making it much less stable and not suitable for cosmetics. The stability of Florasun® 90 contributes to a more stable finished formulation.
    It also provides pigment wetting and dispersion stability properties making it ideal in color cosmetics or hybrid skin care products. It has also been shown to act as a binder and thus provide better color stability in pressed powders.

    StarDesign™ 05340
    Sensory enhancer made from corn
    Starches are polysaccharide granules extracted from corn. Their modification with n-octenylsuccinyl (n-OSA) group through an esterification transforms them into sensory enhancers as they become more hydrophobic & oil-absorbing.
    In emulsions, n-OSA starches reduce the perceived oiliness, the tackiness and give the skin a powdered & matte finish.

    • Make-Up
    • Hand Cream
    • Dry Shampoo

    Benefits

    CocoaDesign™ S
    The feel good energizing cocoa ethyl ester emollient
    CocoaDesign™ S is a 100% naturally derived, COSMOS approved and highly stable cocoa ethyl ester emollient. It is obtained through the hydrogenation/transesterification of Sustainable Promise Cocoa Butter and ethanol and made with cocoa from the Cargill Cocoa Promise sustainability program.
    This buttery solid quickly melts on the skin (MP: 26-32°C) and leaves a light film. It provides a cocooning cushiony feel while evoking enjoyable, pleasure and energizing emotions to formulations as compares to placebo. It also increases longer lasting hydration and enhances skin barrier function by reducing TEWL.
    Comparing with Sustainable Cocoa Butter, CocoaDesign™ S provides higher initial hydration (corneometer) and is more slippery during pickup and smoother during application. It also shows a higher oxidative stability and better stability/crystallization over time.
