improves spreading and
reduces greasiness. When rinsed,
this nourishing gel transforms into a

the skin.
Slumber Party Bath Foam
shows the vibrant colours from
Uni-

. This sulfate-free formula
is specifically designed for the entire
family thanks to
Akypo Soft 100
BVC
, a mild anionic surfactant.
Thickened by
Aculyn Excel
, it also
has good suspension properties at
low pH, and is used here to maintain
the
Vida-Caps 1050. Emanon EV-E
has cleansing properties in the pres-
ence of silicones or natural oils.
Lev-
enol H&B
is an eco-friendly co-sur-
factant that brings emolliency to the

Replacing plastic microbeads
In a series of clinical studies, it was
demonstrated that
Floratech’s
natural
and biodegradable
Ecobeads
were
less irritating to the skin than more
jagged particles. In addition, they are
more pleasant to use. The botanical-
ly-derived beads can be used in exfo-
liating formulas as an alternative to
polyethylene beads or to harsh natu-
ral exfoliants with sharp edges.
Micro Powder’s Naturescrub H
exfo-
liant series is based on hydrogenated
natural castor oil wax for effective
non-irritating exfoliation. It is availa-
ble in three different mesh size
grades:
Naturescrub H14, H20
, and
H50
. The melting waxes
Micropoly
4039
, supplied as a white pellet, and
the coarse powder
Micropoly 4049
are based on the same low-density
polyethylene, and can be used as
rheology modifiers to impart struc-
ture to balms and sticks. They can
also be used to increase viscosity in
the oil phase of emulsions.
Sasol’s Decornel
is a range of four
beads with different particle sizes for
formulations of exfoliating products.
It is an inherently biodegradable 1:1
replacement of PE.
