W8less Moisturizer feels light to the touch while absorbing quickly and easily, leaving the skin soft, smooth, and hydrated. TEGOSOFT® SH gives a pleasant cooling sensation on the skin. BRONTIDE™ is a multi-functional ingredient used as both a humectant and skin-feel modifier without irritating the skin. This formulation is perfect to use as-is or add your favorite actives.
Ingredient Highlight
- TEGOSOFT® SH (Stearyl Heptanoate) – a waxy, lipophilic emollient which melts at skin temperature and provides a cooling effect. It imparts a silky, but non-oily feel to formulations and is suitable for all types of skin care products
- BRONTIDE™ (Butylene Glycol) – a high-performance ingredient made in Europe from an innovative fermentation process which converts non-GMO plant sugars into an ultra-high purity butylene glycol. Brontide conforms to ISO 16128-1 as Natural Ingredient with a natural index of 1 and is 100% biobased. It integrates into current formulations without sacrificing quality or needing reformulation
- AGENAJEL 20.383 (Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate) – a cook-up starch that enhances formulation texture and stability. It shows excellent stability to heat, acid, shear, and freezing and thawing. It is ideal for use as a thickener in emulsion and surfactant-based formulations
- OLIVEM® 1000 (Cetearyl Olivate; Sorbitan Olivate) – a COSMOS-validated self-emulsifying multifunctional ingredient. It is a complex combination of fatty acids, chemically similar to the lipidic composition of the skin surface and has the ability to generate liquid crystal structures that mimic the stratum corneum organization. Olivem 1000 provides a deep moisturizing effect with excellent spreadability.
How to use: Apply morning & night to cleansed face and neck for replenished, moisturized skin.
