Evonik will present two new silicones for skin and hair care as well as a new PEG-free thickening agent at SEPAWA 2009. Abil Care XL 80 is a novel silicone based oil-in-water emulsifier that provides an outstanding combination of performance and aesthetics, according to the company. Formulations based on this new emulsifier feel very velvety and silky and have a light, smooth after-feel on the skin. In addition, its innovative molecular architecture results in outstanding emulsifying and stabilizing properties. Creams, lotions and sprays containing all type of active ingredients or UV filters can easily be formulated with Abil Care XL 80.
Abil T Quat 60 is premium silicone conditioning agent with excellent substantivity to hair keratine, outstanding conditioning features and impressive heat protection properties for universal use in conditioning shampoos, hair rinses, balms, body washes and leave-in products. It is highly suitable for clear formulations and provides a superior skin feel and improves foam properties.
Antil Soft CS is a natural choice for a multifunctional thickening agent for rinse-off formulations, according to Evonik. It improves foam creaminess and reduces moisture loss of skin and hair after surfactant treatment. This ingredient works as a foam booster even in PEG-free formulations and is readily biodegradable, which complies to the
Ecocert standard. More info: www.evonik.com
