how to create trending bath product textures – cosmetic silicone oil manufacturer

this feature focuses on surfactants and emulsifiers that are particularly relevant for bathroom personal care.

a popular theme at scs formulate 2016, the uk’s cosmetic ingredients trade event, was creating product texture. we gave a presentation titled “inspiring textures” and introduced oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions that convert into water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions when applied to the skin, forms a lipophilic waterproof layer.

these emulsions are called switch oil phase (swop) emulsions and consist of polyglyceryl 2-dipolyhydroxystearate as w/o emulsifier, a mixture of lauryl glucoside and sodium lauryl glucose carboxylate as anionic surfactant and poly sodium acrylate acts as a stabilizer in the polymer mixture.

the company’s textural concept includes a slim gel-cream that turns into an oil. a gel-cream that transforms into a fresh, velvety lotion upon application; and a cream-to-cream product. this combines the foaming properties of plantapon lgc sorb (inci: sodium lauryl glucose carboxylate, lauryl glucoside) with the polymeric emulsifier tinovis gtc-up (inci: ethylene acrylate/behenylbenzoate- 25) combined with the levitation capabilities. use xanthan gum to stabilize the texture of the soufflé.
