BergaCare AquaLipids are the latest solution to easily incorporate highly appreciated active oils into various cosmetic formulations and concepts without the need of using solubilizers or any other auxiliary substances. Actives oils are usually rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and therefore support the cell-renewal or fight inflammtion. However, making them easily available in formulations requires several steps in the manufacturing and the use of solubilizers may lead to foaming or tackiness after application. The new add-in approach can facilitate the incorporation of active oils like the BergaCare AquaLipids Bisabolol AR containing alpha-bisabolol and rice bran oil. Bisabolol is known from chamomile for its anti-inflammatory effect and promotes the healing of skin. Rice bran oil and phytosterols from sunflower act additionally soothing, especially on barrier-damaged skin.

The new add-in approach can facilitate the incorporation of active oils like the BergaCare AquaLipids Cassis BR containing blackcurrant seed oil and rosehip seed oil. Both contain especially high concentrations of alpha- and gamma-linolenic acids as well as linoleic acid. They readily penetrate the skin to strengthen its protective barrier and rebalance sebum production making it the ideal combination for oily skin.

The new add-in approach can facilitate the incorporation of active oils like the BergaCare AquaLipids Melon BK containing kalahari melon seed oil and bulbine frutescens leaf juice. While kalahari melon seed oil contains a high proportion of linoleic acid, which helps the skin maintain its hydration, bulbine frutescens leaf juice boosts collagen synthesis and has wound healing properties. Both ingredients are derived from very robust plants that can be found in the deserts of Southern Africa.

The new add-in approach can facilitate the incorporation of active oils like the BergaCare AquaLipids Punica PS containing pomegranate and sea buckthorn seed oil. Pomegranate seed oil contains the highly beneficial punicic acid, which has a powerful antioxidant effect and thus helps counteract skin ageing in mature skin. It also contains numerous skin regenerating substances such as phytosterols, polyphenols and flavonoids. Sea buckthorn oil is rich in palmitoleic acid that acts regenerative in aged skin.

BergaCare FG Gel is a natural oil thickener for transparent and viscous oil gels, gel-creams and solid jelly textures.

Shea trees grow naturally in the sub-sahelian vegetation belt in Africa. Shea nuts are sometimes called women’s gold, as their collection is almost the only reliable source of income for local women. This natural emollient with its high unsaponifiable matter content brings many advantages to cosmetic products for skin and hair care, due to its valuable composition of fatty acids, natural tocopherols, allantoin, and beta-carotene, which is a precursor of vitamin A (retinol). BergaCare SB is produced by mechanical extraction and is therefore suitable for natural certified formulations.

BergaMuls ET 1 is the first synergistic blend of soluble and insoluble fibers to create stable pickering emulsions allowing for „emulsifier-free“ product claims, which are known to be especially mild and friendly to the skin. Additional stabilization is provided by the hydrocollodial network in the external o/w emulsion phase. The fiber blend creates light and pleasant lotion-like textures when used as emulsifier. When used as thickening agent, it is suitable to formulate oil-free serum concepts or facial masks. Special sensories can be achieved when used as filler.

Modern formulations with exciting textures and pleasant sensories can be both – innovative and sustainable. Like our BergaMuls products. BergaMuls ET 2 is the second generation of sustainable and trending fiber blends with synergistic effects. When used as o/w emulsifier, it creates systems ranging from light cream-gels with smaller oil phase to classic cream textures when combined with further stabilizing agents.

Phospholipids are very popular in natural cosmetic products because of their multifunctional properties. Due to their amphiphilic structure, they can be used in emulsions, but also to produce liposomes. Lecithin, or rather the fractions of phosphatidylcholine it contains, has two special functions in cosmetic formulations. Firstly, the hydrogenated and therefore more oxidation-stable variants form lamellar structures, so-called dermo-membrane structures, which are suitable as natural o/w or w/o emulsifiers. On the other hand, the lamellar structures provide caring sensory properties and protect the skin barrier in a natural way. BergaSom Soy 75 H is one example from the BergaSom range for the possible use of phospholipids as a natural and very well skin-compatible emulsifier.
