AAK launches traceable shea-based emollient ester
AAK Personal Care has launched Lipex SheaLuxe TR, a fully traceable shea-based emollient ester said to be an eco-friendly alternative to non-volatile silicones. The US maker says it is ideal
for light skin care formulations requiring a soft, silky texture and non-greasy after-feel. Lipex SheaLuxe TR has a similar
sensory profile to low molecular weight dimethicone in terms of viscosity, spreadability, and skin feel during and after application. It is colourless with a neutral
odour, low viscosity, good spreadability, and a light, dry after- feel with no greasy residue, making it an excellent natural alternative. It is miscible with plant-based
oils and butter. Additionally, it is compatible and miscible with ethanol, making it suitable for sun
care oils. In addition, its superior
sustainability credentials set it apart from alkanes and other plant-based esters. As with many of these,
Lipex SheaLuxe TR is readily biodegradable and uses renewable resources processed using low temperatures and non-toxic
catalysts but goes one step further as a fully traceable, climate- compensated product. Lipex SheaLuxe TR is produced
using only shea kernels from a segregated supply chain, fully traceable to the AAK Kolo Nafaso direct sourcing program in West Africa, meeting consumer demand for ingredients that positively contribute to social, economic, and environmental wellbeing. “Lipex SheaLuxe TR is one of
our climate-compensated shea products, which means we have calculated and offset emissions with Gold Standard and Fairtrade carbon credits generated by a FairClimate Fund cookstove project in Burkina Faso that funds climate action in the shea supply base and directly improves the lives of local communities,” said a spokesperson.
Microphyt launches hair care bioactive
Microphyt has unveiled its first hair care bioactive ingredient, Luteana Scalp, designed to tackle dry dandruff. Initially launched with an
integrative approach for sensitive skin, Luteana returns with a specific focus on sensitive scalps and, particularly, those struggling with dry dandruff. Powered by the potent
combination of DHA and fucoxanthin, the French maker says Luteana stands as an innovative, natural and efficient solution.
These two molecules, exclusive
from the marine world, play a pivotal role in regulating the aggressive and chaotic flaking, reinforcing the barrier function’s
structure, and soothing chronic inflammation. Luteana Scalp offers a range
of unique benefits, including an oil-based bioactive derived from a Tahitian microalgae species, concentrating two powerful marine molecules: fucoxanthin and DHA. It targets both structural
and biochemical imbalances by strengthening the scalp’s hydrolipidic film and providing soothing effects to reduce the spread of dry dandruff. It also helps regain a healthy
scalp and enhances overall quality of life.
Lipoid launches skin microbiome ingredient
Lipoid Kosmetik has unveiled usNeo, a microbiome-friendly ingredient for protection against odour, blemishes and dandruff. The Swiss manufacturer says
the ingredient is an effective and gentle alternative for microbial control. “Healthy skin contains thousands of different microbial species living in a balanced, sustaining and skin-supporting ecosystem, the skin microbiome,” said a spokeswoman. “An imbalance of the
skin microbiome leads to overpopulation of certain bacteria causing unwanted skin conditions, such as body odour, blemishes or dandruff,” she added. “While classical treatments
have been focusing on strong anti- microbial strategies, these are often unselective and harm the intricate microbial balance of the skin.” The benefits of usNeo include
plant-derived, selective microbial control and instant and lasting odour reduction. The new ingredient is also said
to offer effective treatment of skin blemishes and gentle, long-term protection against dandruff.
Roquette Beauté unveils plant-based thickener and stabilizer
Roquette Beauté has launched Beauté by Roquette ST 320, a plant-based versatile thickener and stabilizer designed for gels and emulsions. The company says
Beauté by Roquette ST 320 (INCI: Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate) meets the demand of consumers for natural-based cosmetic products that combine efficacy and pleasurable
sensorial experiences. The new ingredient is sourced
from non-GMO maize, vegan suitable and biodegradable. Roquette Beauté says tests
were performed to demonstrate Beauté by Roquette ST 320 is easy to disperse in cold or warm water; has strong viscosity enhancement after cooking; and is very stable over time in both emulsions and gels. “Beauté by Roquette ST 320
also acts as a sensory enhancer bringing comforting and cocooning textures to cosmetic formulations,” the company said. “As consumers become more mindful of the impact of their
beauty routines on their overall well-being, the trend towards holistic beauty continues to gain momentum in the beauty and personal care market.” “With Beauté by Roquette
ST 320, cosmetic formulators can tap into this trend by creating indulgent and soft textures that offer both efficacy and pleasurable sensorial experiences.”
