DSM Personal Care unveiled new data on its leading emulsifier brand, Amphisol K, which proves its superior applicability in novel cosmetics formulations compared to similar potassium cetyl phosphate emulsification technologies. The new findings reconfirm the status of Amphisol K as “gold standard” in robust emulsification for cosmetics formulations.
The sensorial appeal of personal care products now ranks, alongside product efficacy, as an extremely important decision driver. In this context, growing demands for multi-tasking product forms, such as alphabet creams, and for novel product textures pose new challenges for formulators. For example, adapting cosmetic formulations to give a lighter texture and provide a refreshing skin sensation can be achieved by increasing the alcohol content. The ability to increase the alcohol or caprylylglycol concentration also gives formulators greater flexibility in their choice of emulsion preservative system, or may even eliminate the need for one. In the case of color cosmetic formulations of all kinds, the product must be able to incorporate sometimes large quantities of pigments like titanium dioxide either used as colorant or UV-filter.
Dr. Jochen Klock, head of global marketing, sun care at DSM, commented: “Our recently published findings from new research provide evidence of Amphisol K’s unique mechanism for long term stability. These latest findings once again prove that Amphisol K is the emulsifier of choice, giving formulators multiple possibilities to develop a new generation of highly sophisticated sunscreens and face care formulations whilst also taking account of sensorial needs.”
