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

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.

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.
