BergaCare AquaLipids
When Skin Health Benefits and Functionality Come Together
Advanced Oil-in-Water Emulsions for Hydrated, Healthy Skin
BergaCare AquaLipids bring the rich benefits of active oils and cutting-edge formulation technology together to meet the needs of diverse skin types. This unique range of extremely finely dispersed O/W emulsions combines skin health benefits, functionality, and enhanced sensory profiles, creating a perfect solution for modern cosmetics.
Active Oils
Active oils are popular in the cosmetic industry and offer several benefits in cosmetic formulations. Rooted in centuries of natural wisdom, they combine unique fatty acid profiles rich in vitamins, antioxidants and polyunsaturated fatty acids to improve skin health and vitality. They are also a cost-effective alternative to high-tech actives, offering outstanding quality at an affordable price. They are perfect for natural skin care products, offering proven benefits that resonate with conscious and claim-driven formulations. Derived from sustainably sourced plants, these ingredients fit seamlessly with the growing demand for natural, eco-conscious cosmetics.
Challenges of formulating with active oils
Formulating with active oils presents unique challenges. One of the main obstacles is the need for high levels of solubilizers to incorporate oils into water-based formulations. This can lead to unwanted foaming, soaping and a sticky skin feel that can cause discomfort during application. Stability is another critical factor, as products must maintain their quality and consistency over time, despite the inherent instability of oils, which are prone to oxidation.
The intense natural color of many active oils can also affect the visual appeal of formulations, requiring solutions that mask or neutralize these hues. Developing a pleasant sensory profile while accommodating different skin types adds another layer of complexity, as each formulation must balance efficacy with compatibility.

What are BergaCare AquaLipids?
BergaCare AquaLipids are finely dispersed, liquid oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions with emollient content ranging from 24% to 33%, depending on the product. Their stable droplet structure ensures that they remain separate and do not mix with other droplets when incorporated into existing O/W emulsions. This stability supports consistent performance and eliminates formulation challenges. One of the key benefits of AquaLipids is their ability to protect delicate oils from oxidation. This protection maintains the efficacy of the oils and extends the shelf life of cosmetic products, ensuring they deliver maximum benefits to the skin.
Benefits of BergaCare AquaLipids
BergaCare AquaLipids offer a seamless add-in approach, making them easy to incorporate into products during the cold processing phase (below 40°C). These emulsions help reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), ensuring optimal skin hydration and barrier protection. By improving the sensory properties of formulations, AquaLipids deliver a less oily feel and enhanced consistency, meeting the demands of modern consumers. Unlike conventional solutions, they require no additional components such as solubilizers, avoiding complications like tackiness or foaming.
Their formulation versatility makes them particularly ideal for sensitive or demanding skin types. AquaLipids ensure a zero soaping effect during application and enhance the visual appeal of products, creating formulations lighter in color compared to the use of pure oils at the same concentration.
Each product is cold-processable, compatible with serums, toners, creams, and more, making them easy to integrate into various cosmetic formulations.
