[SOPHIM's ingredients] A few weeks ago, we introduced the first formula of our new makeup kit: Mr. Timid! 💄How to manufacture this sensory stick that delivers just the right amount of product on the skin? SOPHIM provides insights on how using our ingredients enhances the sensory experience of this multifunctional stick. 🧪Follow the guide! 🌿 Castor Oil by SOPHIM: A well-known vegetable oil, used here in its organic grade. The advantage: Castor oil acts as a pigment carrier, ensuring even distribution in the oil phase, resulting in excellent color development. 🌿 Wax Ester - Phytowax®18L57: Mr. Timid contains 59% liquid oil phase, yet remains a solid formula. The use of Phytowax®18L57, our sensory, emollient wax ester, provides the perfect texture for a strong, robust yet melting stick. The advantage: Phytowax®18L57 enhances the melting power. Combined with Phytosqualan, it improves the spreadability & allows to deposit just the right amount of product and to facilitate blending. 🌿 Olive Squalane - Phytosqualan: A sensory asset offering a dry touch and hydration benefits. The advantage: Phytosqualan has a high degradation temperature, making it the ideal ingredient to endure Mr. Timid's double heating process while preserving all the benefits of squalane. 👉To learn more about our Mr. Timid formulation, request our formulation sheet on our website. #SOPHIM #cosmeticformulation #olivesqualane

At Libra Speciality Chemicals, our Low Salt Betaine is engineered to feature ultra-low salt levels—typically around 0.5%, with potential reductions to as low as 0.05%. This innovation not only mitigates the viscosity management challenges posed by traditional betaines but also dramatically increases formulation flexibility, allowing for inclusion rates of 10-12%. This means Low Salt Betaine can be used as a primary surfactant compared to usually being secondary. Our ultra-low salt betaines represent a significant shift in surfactant selection for a variety of applications. It’s a prime candidate to replace Sulphates in personal care products, including hair, bath, shower, and hand wash formulations and avoiding 1,4- Dioxane issues. Our betaines offer enhanced performance without the need for secondary surfactants. Furthermore, in oral care products, they stand out as a superior alternative to SLS, delivering a neutral taste experience and increased cost-effectiveness.  #Innovation #SurfactantTechnology #SustainableSolutions #PersonalCareInnovation 

Using Pr1megum Carrageenan TG SERIES in air freshener formulations can indeed offer several benefits, such as improve uniformity, prolonged scent distribution, and longer shelf time. 1. Uniformity: Carrageenan can aid in creating a uniform gel or dispersion of fragrance oils within the air freshener product. This helps ensure consistent scent release throughout the product's usage. 2. Prolonged scent distribution: The gel matrix formed by carrageenan can slow down the evaporation of fragrance compounds, leading to a more prolonged release of scent. This can result in a longer-lasting air freshening effect compared to formulations without carrageenan. 3. Longer shelf life: Carrageenan can contribute to the stability of the air freshener formulation, helping to prevent separation or degradation of ingredients over time. This can extend the shelf life of the product and maintain its effectiveness for a longer duration.

[SPONSORED POST] Let’s make beauty natural. Lipoid Kosmetik AG developed a new 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗹® 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 product range, a versatile selection of plant waters optimised for cosmetic use. Plant waters evoke natural, refreshing and nourishing images. They are associated with deep hydration, pure and beneficial ingredients, and the idea of achieving a naturally glowing and revitalised skin appearance. Plant waters, also known as hydrolates are produced through a process called steam distillation. This method extracts the water soluble compounds from the plant material, resulting in a condensed liquid encapsulating its pure essence. This product line embodies the full power of plant ingredients (100 % natural, high proportion of plant component, short INCI), and combines that with a transparent, odourless appearance that is easy to incorporate in a variety of cosmetic formulations. Lactobacillus ferment is used for natural preservation. The 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗹® 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 products perfectly fit the following claims and concepts: - Natural, clean, and pure beauty concepts - Conveys a sense of freshness and moisturisation - Fermentation metabolites allow fermented, postbiotic skin care claims To find out more about the 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗹® 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 products, please visit Lipoid Kosmetik AG’s website. #LipoidKosmetik #wemakebeautynatural. #naturalcosmetics #innovation

🌟 To make something look effortless is the hardest craftsmanship. 🌟 How often have you bought your supplements online or at a store, taken your capsules in the morning, and thought to yourself, "I'm doing something good for myself?” But have you ever considered the process behind the development and production of that capsule? The vision a brand follows to create a product you trust involves meticulous effort. Your trust is placed in the brand and their contract manufacturer to source the best ingredients, create the best formulation, and encapsulate them in perfect soft or hard capsules. This is followed by packaging, such as jars or blisters. The one little capsule you take in the morning goes through dozens of quality checks, thoughts, and processes to become your perfect product. From plants growing in fields, harvesting, and processing to become an extract filled into a hard capsule, to oils that need refining and standardizing for encapsulation. And we haven't even mentioned the steps required to create a hard capsule out of cellulose or the processes to make gelatin for your soft capsule. At Gelpell, we think of you in every step of our process. 💊 #Craftsmanship #QualitySupplements #TrustTheProcess #Gelpell #madeinswitzerland

FROM FIELD TO FACTORY: BASIL OIL Curious how we ensure each drop of our basil essential oil meets our highest standards? Here’s how we have done: Step 1: Harvesting Superior Basil At the very first step, only the healthiest basil plants are chosen for harvesting at peak maturity between May and September, when their essential oil concentration is highest. Step 2: Precision Drying Following harvest, basil leaves and stems undergo careful drying to remove excess moisture. This critical step not only enhances the oil concentration but also stabilizes the extraction process, ensuring purity and potency. Step 3: Expert Extraction Using state-of-the-art steam distillation, basil is boiled in water to capture and condense the resulting steam into high-quality essential oil through specialized pipelines. Step 4: Refinement and Quality Assurance Post-extraction, our basil essential oil undergoes meticulous refinement to eliminate unwanted compounds and enrich its natural fragrance. Rigorous quality testing ensures every batch meets our stringent safety and effectiveness criteria. Step 5: Packaging with Care Finally, our basil essential oil is carefully packaged and stored to preserve its freshness and efficacy. Ready to serve various industries including flavoring, fragrances, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, our products are crafted to enhance health and elevate everyday experiences.

‼️‼️‼️ SKINCARE FORMULATORS ‼️‼️ Do you know that using hydrosols for your formulations is a hundred times better than using just water? You will want to ask me why I said that right? I'll explain. You already know that Hydrosols are the distillates gotten from hydro or steam distilling herbs right? This distillates contain some actives and even minute quantities of essential oils from these plants. (Hold this tight) . . Let's take for an example two formulators A and B making a skincare product that requires cloves. Let's say A just soaks her cloves in plain water and sieves for her formulations. While B uses cloves hydrosols (go back to the definition of hydrosols). Which formulation do you think would be richer and more effective? Don't be bias! B's formulation will. . . That's one benefit of using Hydrosols. Hydrosols are not gotten from merely soaking the herbs in hot water. Rather, they are gotten from steam or hydro distillation. PS: I am your go to for hydro-distilled hydrosols. Just name the hydrosol. And send me a DM. Image: a multipurpose spray I made with Rose water hydrosol and a perfume oil. #hydrosols #rosewater #plantbased #simplyorganicoils
