potent hydroxystearic acid is produced by
bioconversion of sunflower-derived oleic
acid using DSM’s proprietary technology.

Evonik
Evonik Personal Care introduced two
new products: TEGO Pep 4-Comfort, an
ingredient that brings relief by soothing
the major symptoms of skin sensitivity,
redness and irritation, and ANTIL 500
Pellets, a hydrophilic rheology modifier
with enhanced thickening performance in
aqueous surfactant systems.
In addition, Evonik presented Sensory
Kaleidoscope 2.0, a further development
of its interactive tool that helps formulators
to achieve desired skin feel. Also, the
company launched “Active Lifestyle,” a
market-ready concept that offers a selection
of inspiring ideas for formulations
that can be achieved with Evonik Personal
Care specialty ingredients to resonate with
the growing base of active consumers.
Hallstar
HallBrite EZ-FLO TDX was developed to
highlight the benefits of photo-protected
titanium dioxide with a mineral UV filter
aesthetic. This was achieved by leveraging
a patent-protected C3+ coating system
consisting of silica moieties, alkyl groups
and polydimethylsiloxane with Hallstar’s
photostabilizer technology. It is an easily
pourable, highly stable (45°C) dispersion
of 40% Titanium Dioxide (nano), coated
and dispersed in a carrier containing Hall-
Brite BHB (Butyloctyl Salicylate), with no
particle perception and minimal whitening
in use. It may be used as the sole UV filter
source for SPFs up to about 30. When
combined with Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
(Avobenzone) and Ethylhexyl
Methoxycrylene (SolaStay S1) or with zinc
oxide (nano), broad spectrum protection
can be achieved to SPF 50. HallBrite
EZ-FLO TDX shows how mineral UV
filters can be easy to work with and also
provide nice feeling, low whitening, high
performance sunscreens. Recommended
use level: up to 12%, and suitable for use
in China.

encompasses versatile, naturally derived
surfactant and emulsifier alternatives

customize to suit formulation needs.
Polyaldo 10-1-CC polyglyceryl ester (INCI
name: Polyglyceryl-10 caprylate/caprate)
offers enhanced foam generation while
maintaining mildness in hand washes and
facial cleaners. It is ECOCERT-certified,
manufactured from 100% plant-derived

agent, developed especially for
hair care, which promotes frizz control
and helps mitigate daily damage. OXIFLOW
S 6800 is a versatile rheological
modifier with enhanced sensory feel.
OXISMOOTH is a line of emollient esters
for skin care products that enables high
spreadability and absorption.
Sederma
Venuceane, Sederma’s anti-ageing active
offering protection against ultraviolet
(UV) damage, has proven to be efficient
against IR-ageing. Skin is exposed daily to
infrared radiation (IR), which represents
more than half of the rays emitted by the
sun and has been identified as a major
contributor to photo-damage. Venuceane
improves hydration via the protection of
the mitochondrial integrity known to be
particularly damaged by IR radiation (ATP
synthesis and mitochondrial water content
increased by 123%) It lessens the inflammatory
conditions and helps prevent the
denaturation of matrix macromolecules in
order to limit wrinkle formation.
Vertellus
Naturechem PGR (Propylene Glycol
Ricinoleate) is a liquid emollient. Because
it forms occlusive barriers, it reduces transepidermal
water loss and also hydrates
the skin through humectancy via hydrogen
bonding between water and the material’s
hydroxyl groups, being able to attract
and bind water from the atmosphere and
lower layers of the epidermis and dermis.
Naturechem PGR’s stability makes it a
desirable alternative to oleates. It is noncomedogenic,
lubricious, imparts gloss
and provides cushion. It is an effective
wetting agent and stabilizer for highly concentrated,
anhydrous pigmented products
and dye dispersions. Applications include
AP/deo, sun care, shave products, creamy
cleansers, emollients, creams, lotions and
massage oils. SPRAY
