Improved Oxidative Stability: It has excellent oxidative stability, providing the product with longer shelf life compared to other naturally derived oils. Improved Hydrolytic Stability: Its chemical structure improves the product's hydrolytic stability compared to other naturally obtained oils. High Refractive Index: It has a high refractive index that improves the appearance of the formulation. Pigment Dispersion: Due to BioEstolide™'s chemically polar structure, it allows pigment to be easily retained.

Sensory Enhancer

DOWSIL™ EL-TIPS Silicone Elastomer- Dow A silicone elastomer designed for skincare and colour cosmetic applications, compliant with D4, D5, D6 regulations. DOWSIL™ EL-TIPS is a high solids silicone elastomer that optimises efficiency in formulations. Provides a rich, smooth feel and helps cover skin imperfections. Formulated in a bio-based carrier derived from sugarcane, DOWSIL™ EL-TIPS enables brands to design cosmetic products with high levels of natural and derived natural content (>90%). (Up to 70% content compliant with ISO 16128). Sensory Profile on Skin *Comparison matched with internal experienced panel DOWSIL™ EL-TIPS spreads more easily than DOWSIL™ 9041 and leaves a smoother, more moist feel after absorption. DOWSIL™ EL-TIPS exhibits a similar smoothness profile to DOWSIL™ 9041.

C*EmTex™ Cargill Beauty

A polysaccharide derived from corn. Modification of the n-octenylsuccinyl (n-OSA) group through esterification makes the product more hydrophobic and oil-absorbing, transforming it into a sensory enhancer. In emulsions, n-OSA starches reduce perceived oiliness and stickiness and give the skin a powdery and matte appearance. Sensory Enhancer DOWSIL™ PMX-1508 Fluid- Dow This new gum blend is produced for use in haircare, skincare, sun care and colour cosmetic applications. An ultra-high viscosity dimethiconol blend in C13-15 alkane, a naturally biodegradable carrier. In skincare applications, DOWSIL™ PMX-1508 Fluid provides a smooth dimethiconol feel and longer "playing time", helping customers increase the natural origin content of their formulations (ISO 16128).

Rheology Modifiers

Actigum™ VSX 20 - Cargill Beauty This structure modifier based on naturally derived polysaccharides is a multifunctional product. Increases viscosity, strengthens stability. Aesthetically, smooth, naturally shiny and light emulsions can be obtained. It also helps produce semi-transparent gels with a silky and glossy texture. Provides good moisturisation. Actigum™ VSX 20 structure modifier has a high efficiency value. It has good suspension properties and thanks to this property it enables the design of emulsifier-free formulations. Additionally, its ability to prevent coalescence of droplets makes it a good auxiliary stabiliser.

FiberDesign™ Sensation - Cargill Beauty

This new structure modifier is also an emulsion stabiliser. FiberDesign™ Sensation, obtained from the combination of lemon peel fibres from a side stream with sclerotium gum with a zero-waste policy in pectin production, has the following properties: • Easy spreading due to quickly breaking texture, • Non-sticky, satin feel, • Long-lasting cooling, chilling effect, • Biodegradable and obtained from 100% natural sources (according to ISO 16128). DOWSIL™ EP-9608 Cosmetic Powder Add Lasting Expression and Dimension to Your Appearance! Our specialty silicone powder elastomers are suitable for a wide range of applications in skincare and colour cosmetic products with their soft feel and brightening effect.
