A novel, mild pearlizer for personal care.
Cognis launched several new materials at the NYSCC Suppliers' Day show in Edison, NJ. For example, the company calls Euperlan Green the first green, ethylene oxide- and amine-free pearlizing wax dispersion. According to Cognis, this novel, tremendously mild and unique pearlizer enables formulators to create natural and attractive hair and body cleansing formulations. It is derived from natural sources, is easy to handle, and is liqud and cold processable, to help save production time and energy costs.Also new is Cosmedia ATH, an anionic liquid dispersion polymer that provides rheology control and facilitates the preparation of skin care emulsions. Supplied as an easily dispersed liquid, it can be used in either cold or hot process manufacturing and can be easily added at any stage of the manufacturing process without pH neutralization. It contributes to the suspension and stabilization of other ingredients because of its excellent thickening performance, according to Cognis.Finally, Cognis rolled out Cosmedia Gel CC, a new version of a hectorite dispersion with unique properties. It creates a homogeneous film on the skin and limits the sedimentation process of pigments in a final formulation—making it an excellent product for sun care, AP/Deo and color applications, according to the company.More info: www.cognis.com
