AMPHISOL® K is the golden standard for formulation types difficult to stabilize. Being well established as signature emulsifier for sunscreens and convinced with compelling emulsification power in other applications as well. AMPHISOL® K provides highest flexibility for various application forms such as from creme to sprays or over a broad pH-range. This emulsifier is proven for thermal and long-term stability. Further, it can be used to boost SPF protection and increase the water-resistance of an emulsion. Overall, it delivers a snow white creme, whereas the cetyl moiety was found to show best compatibility with skin lipids and confer rich texture and feel to the skin. AMPHISOL® K is a white to beige, practically odorless powder. It disperses in hot water, producing clear to slightly opaque solutions which gel on cooling if concentrated. view less

Using Allantoin in Skincare Formulations
Allantoin enhances the efficacy and appeal of dermatological and cosmetic formulations by acting as a skin protectant and providing necessary moisture. It works as an exceptional healing, moisturizing, soothing and anti-irritating agent. Adding allantoin as an emollient to a formulation can help soothe and prevent dry, rough and itchy skin.
How Allantoin works
Allantoin is a crystallized oxidation product of uric acid found naturally in many plants. It enhances the efficacy and appeal of dermatological and cosmetic formulations by acting as a skin protectant and providing necessary hydration. The addition of Allantoin to cosmetic formulations results in softer, suppler skin.
In addition to moisturizing, Allantoin also helps to gently exfoliate the skin by softening the top layer of skin. Because of its soothing properties as a keratolytic agent, it can be a great ingredient in formulations developed to reduce dullness or for sensitive, acne-prone skin.
Since Allantoin is both a skin protectant and moisturizer, it helps protect against trans-epidermal water loss. Preventing moisture loss is important for calming irritated skin and improving skin texture for all skin types.
Uses of Allantoin
Allantoin has been used in a wide variety of personal care products and cosmetics for decades due to its gentleness and effectiveness including:

Lip balms
Shave and Aftershave products

Safety of Allantoin
Most emollients, such as allantoin, are generally considered safe for human use on a daily basis, as well as safe for the environment. The US FDA has classified allantoin as an OTC Category I active ingredient (safe) for use at 0.5% to 2.0%. In addition, this means that allantoin is effective as a skin protectant even at low concentrations for cosmetic use.
The FDA has approved the following statements for nonprescription drug products containing 0.5% - 2.0%:
For the temporary protection of minor cuts, scraps, burns and sunburn
Helps prevent and temporarily protect chafed, chapped, cracked or wind-burned skin and lips.
Relieves dryness, and softens cold sores and fever blisters
Helps treat and prevent diaper rash. And protects chafed skin/minor skin irritation due to/associated with diaper rash and helps protect from/seal out wetness. view less

COSMACOL ELI (INCI: C12-13 ALKYL LACTATE) is a versatile, polar multifunctional emollient, which allows it to exhibit most of the peculiar characteristics of lactic acid derivatives, such as moisturizing and a mild keratolytic effect, making it suitable for skin care products targeted for different types of skin, from dry to greasy. It is also used as a wetting and dispersing agent in makeup. It has a thickening effect on SLES/Betaine systems as well as anti-irritant properties and can be used in a wide range of personal care products including lines for delicate and atopic skin. This product is a mild body odor reducing agent which allows for decreased percentages of other common actives in antiperspirant/deodorants. In anti-dandruff formulations, it reduces irritation and itching, improves formulation stability and viscosity. Adding glycerin to an alcohol-based disinfectant gives back some moisture but makes the formulation sticky. Replacing a portion of the glycerin with COSMACOL ELI solves the problem.

Kahlwax 6279L is a Myrica wax derived from berry fruit peels of the Myrica Pubescens tree native in Latin America. The wax is very unique as it has no double bounds and is rather a naturally “hydrogenated” oil but solid. Due to its chemical structure (iodine value < 2) it is very stable against oxidation. Very untypical is the low melting point while having an exceptional hardness. This combination leads to an outstanding spreadability. Kahlwax 6279L reduces stickiness of O/W emulsions and oleogels, stabilizes stick preparations, and has excellent properties for hair styling products.

Carbopol® Ultrez 30 polymer is a white powder, cross-linked homopolymer of polyacrylic acid that is polymerized in a toxicologically-preferred cosolvent system. It offers good electrolyte tolerance, high thickening performance in a broad pH range, and a rich, distinct sensory in challenging skin care formulations. Carbopol Ultrez 30 polymer allows the formulator to achieve desired rheological and aesthetic properties in the presence of electrolytes or acidic actives required for consumer products. Its high electrolyte tolerance and broad pH compatibility make it ideal for formulating products with botanical extracts or water-soluble salts, as well as acidic ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids, salicylic acid, or organic acid preservatives at a pH range as low as 4.0 - 4.5. view less

Kahlwax 6290 is a pale Berry wax derived from berry fruit peels of the Rhus Verniciflua tree native in China. Kahlwax 6290 consists of a high amount of glycerol ester of C16-18 fatty acid. Because a significant part of it melts at temperatures < 30 °C, Kahlwax 6290 feels very silky and soft, comparable to a classic emollient. In addition, Kahlwax 6290 is producing very soft textures and improves significantly the sensory characteristics of O/W emulsions. Additionally it is an excellent additive for oleogels, suitable for lip gloss formulations and mascaras, and works as an outstanding pay-off enhancer in lipsticks. Although it is soft, Kahlwax 6290 improves break resistance in pencil preparations. view less
