Powerful Biomimetic Emulsifier with Perfect Skin Feel

Emulsifiers represent one of the most fundamental ingredients for skin care products [1]. They define not only the stability of cosmetic formulations but contribute also greatly to their sensorial profile and overall perception. Ideally, an emulsifier should both enable stable emulsions with a great skin feel and, at the same time, moisturize and protect the skin. In internal tests we demonstrated that especially hydrogenated phospholipids are exceptionally capable of stabilizing o/w emulsions in cosmetic formulations. Additionally, the use of only small amounts will result in a significant improvement of the skin feel.

LIPOID P 75-3 represents a 100 % natural, COSMOSapproved, o/w emulsifier with a perfect skin compatibility and high-sensory skin feel benefits. Because of its superior skin sensation, LIPOID P 75-3 is the all-natural alternative to silicone oils. Its main constituents, hydrogenated phospholipids from non-GMO soybean, mimic the lamellar bilayers of natural skin lipids, combining excellent emulsification power with a perfect skin feel and unique moisturizing properties [2,3]. Due to its unparalleled tolerability and mildness, LIPOID P 75-3 is outstandingly suitable as ingredient in products for sensitive or damaged skin, baby care or intimate care.

Natural Alternative to Silicone Oils
When looking for a smooth and silky skin feel, manufacturers of cosmetic products often choose to formulate with silicones. They provide an artificial softness by resting on the skin's surface and forming a slick film. As this film forming might interfere with some of the skin's natural processes, there is ongoing interest in natural, biomimetic, non-occlusive skin texture modifiers. Hydrogenated phospholipids have the ability to generate an exceptionally smooth and silky skin feel, without covering the skin with an occlusive film. To show its skin feel benefits, LIPOID P 75-3 was compared to a widely used silicone oil.

Objective
Comparison concerning skin sensation of two topically applied formulations with silicone oil versus LIPOID P 75-3 as silicone substitute

Technique
Sensory assessment of two topically applied formulations. The study is performed on a selected female panel that has been trained in the sensory perception of cream products

LIPOID P 75-3 gives a unique, superior skin feel, without forming an occlusive film.
LIPOID P 75-3 is the all-natural alternative to silicone oils.


Stability Testing | LIPOID P 75-3 has Excellent Emulsifying Properties

Objective
Stability analysis of LIPOID P 75-3 based o/w emulsions with cosmetic oils of varying polarity

Technique
Emulsification experiments were performed with a model formulation using four different oils and LIPOID P 75-3 as sole emulsifier

Result
LIPOID P 75-3 as sole emulsifier allows the formation of stable emulsions with a broad variety of cosmetic lipids.



LIPOID P 75-3 forms stable o/w emulsions irrespective of the polarity of oils used.
LIPOID P 75-3 forms stable o/w emulsions even when reduced to 1 % concentration.
LIPOID P 75-3 is an easy-to-use emulsifier with perfect skin feel.
