“Preservative sensitisation has
been an issue in the past few years”
pressed and loose powder formu-
lations.
Polymer Expert’s Estogel E
is a
new oil thickening agent. 93%
bio-sourced, this new polymer is
derived from castor oil. It helps
the formulation of clear oil gel
with a good suspensive ability at
low concentration. Preservative
free, the polymer is an easy way
to gellify medium polarity to high
polarity oils, glycols, and even
fragrances at low percentages.
The gels with Estogel E show a
considerable thixotropy and are
easy to spray. This versatile poly-
mer facilitates the creation of new
textures.
Protameen’s Protachem DG
is a
vegetable-derived, 100%-renewa-
ble resource surfactant for use in
sulfate-free formulations. It pro-
vides mild cleansing with good
foam for use in traditional and
non-traditional cleansing systems
alike. It is especially useful in sen-
sitive-skin cleansers and col-
our-treated hair shampoos.
Sasol’s Cosmacol NII-9
is a solu-
biliser for fragrances and essen-
tial oils. Very low levels of this
study, women of different ages
had visible cellulite and visible
stretch marks. After 28 days of ap-
plication of 1.5%
IBR-TCLC
, a
sharp decrease in stretch marks
was evident as well as smoothing
of cellulite. Results show tighten-
ing of the skin at the hips and but-
tocks and plumping and rehydrat-
ing of the upper inner leg. Based
on the precedent Botox-like an-
ti-wrinkle effect of
IBR-Snowflake
,
and in analogy with the use of Bo-
tox as treatment against excessive
sweating, an antiperspirant effect
was shown with this ingredient. It
decreases perspiration by 36% af-
ter seven days of repeated twice-
a-day applications for dry, lighter,
smooth and flawless skin, for use
in face, body and underarm prod-
ucts.

foaming ability than without it
and provides a sensory texture. It
is suitable for green body care
concepts.
