BergaCare AquaLipids Melon BK
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 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.

Traditional emulsifiers, while effective, often require hot processing and can leave a waxy residue on the skin. In contrast, fiber-based emulsifiers are cold-processible, saving time and energy, and offering diverse textures and skin feels. These fibers, sourced from food industry waste, include soluble fibers (like pectin and gums) and insoluble fibers, which are crucial for creating Pickering emulsions that use solid particles to stabilize the oil-water interface.Learn MoreKnowledge
The article highlights a new solution for naturally modifying the rheology of cold-processed oil gels, focusing on transparent oil thickening. Formulators seek quick, efficient ingredients to meet consumer expectations for viscosity and flow behavior in oil-based products. Traditional thickening agents like polymers and organoclays have limitations. A new natural blend containing olive squalane, hydrogenated ethylhexyl olivate, and hydrogenated castor oil with sebacic acid offers an effective alternative. This blend is cold-processible, forms stable and transparent gels, and is compatible with various oils and cosmetic ingredients. It enhances product texture, making it suitable for a range of applications, from facial oils to sunscreens and lip balms, meeting consumer demands for luxurious, stable, and innovative cosmetic products.Learn More
