compatible with a wide range of cosmetic formulations.
The 100% vegetable-based ingredient consists of unsa-
ponifiables and esters obtained from free fatty acids and
esterified olive oil. Its squalene, sterols, tocopherols and
wax-esters content makes it functional as an active emol-
lient with moisturising and nourishing properties for
healthy skin. It is non-comedogenic, non-irritating and
fully compatible with the skin, where squalene and esters
are the main components of the lipid bilayer surface. It is
easy to use in the oil phase, non-greasy and is character-
ised by its good penetration and nourishing properties.
Stephenson Personal Care’s Durosoft SF
, which is distrib-
uted by
Polymer Expert’s Estogel E
in the German-speak-
ing countries, is a W/O polyglyceryl-4 ester emulsifier de-
rived from natural sunflower oil, which provides a broad
HLB range due to the natural composition of the oil. Mild
and PEG-free, it is suitable for creating creams, lotions,
and self-emulsifying oils such as foaming bath and show-
er oils, and cleansing oils. It can also be used in O/W for-
mulations if used with a co-emulsifier. Additionally, this
emulsifier is liquid so it is suitable for cold production
processes.

Naturochim’s Premium Organic Coconut Butter
is manu-
factured with a careful, Ecocert-approved process. The
pasty scrub gel
Three Step Face Scrub
allows for soft and
efficient exfoliation thanks to the action of both particle
sizes of
Nat Gascony Plum Scrubs 20 and 40
; the
Premium
Organic Apricot Butter
and
Argan Butter
are used to avoid
dryness. When applied to the skin, this paste will change
into oil, and with addition of water, it will make an emul-
sion that is easily rinsed while leaving a protective film
on the skin.
Univar’s Jade Natural Body Exfoliator
is a glittering green
body gel that revitalises the skin under the shower. The
creamy foam produced by
Akypo Foam RL 40
, a sul-
fate-free surfactant, gently cleans the skin. The vegeta-
ble-based
Betadet S-20
acts as co-surfactant and contrib-
utes to the mildness of the product.
Emanon EV-E
enables
a good fragrance solubilisation and its deposition on the
skin.
Levenol H&B
provides good emolliency in sur-
factant-based products. The system is thickened by
Acu-
lyn Excel
, a viscosity agent able to suspend the natural
walnut shell and lemon exfoliators and the glitters. The
shimmering jade-green colour is obtained by mixing
Uni-
var Colour
dyes and
Sandream Impact
glitters. Finally,
Kem Nat
acts as a natural preservative, approved for
Ecocert formulations. The
All that Glitters Oil in Shower
hybrid texture moisturiser infuses the shower with a bit
of sparkle. The oil-in-gel formula is thickened by
Ethocel
100 Standard Premium
. The oil system contains nourish-
ing oils such as
Organic Virgin Argan Oil
and
Inchol Sacha
