BergaSom Soy 90H
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 90 H is one example from the BergaSom range for the possible use of phospholipids as a natural and very well skin-compatible emulsifier.

Knowledge
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 More
