  • 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.

    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.

    Knowledge

    Lately, skin care consumers have been developing increasing expectations when it comes to their skin care, especially facial care. In the post-pandemic world, the so-called skinification of beauty is on the rise. It means that beauty is not achieved by putting on makeup, but by actually improving the health of our largest and most visible organ, the skin. Improving the state of the skin at the cellular/molecular level – whether that means reducing wrinkles, fighting oxidative stress and skin aging, or promoting healthy cell turnover – is achieved by active ingredients that really do their job. Scientifically-based evidence for the efficacy of cosmetic formulations and actives has gained substantial importance. But in order for an active to reach its target in the skin, it must penetrate the upper skin layers in a sufficient concentration, which is sometimes limited due to solubility issues, stability issues, incompatibility with the formulation or poor penetration of the active into the skin. To improve efficacy, the concentration of the active should not be simply increased at will, as this involves a certain risk since there is often a lack of data on tolerability at higher concentrations . Therefore, it is better to increase the efficacy at a typical concentration through technologies that enhance performance.
