Emollient
Emollients are among the most versatile and essential ingredients used in personal care products today. They allow formulators to control the final product's all-important feel.
Emollients are designed to help formulators deliver particular sensory experiences into personal care formulations. Properties important in this class of ingredients are firmness, spreadability, greasiness, absorbency, slipperiness, gloss, and others.
But beyond that, emollients can provide a range of functionalities – from moisturization, solubilization, and lubrication to improving skin's elasticity and substantivity and adding gloss.
Careful selection of an emollient can invigorate the formula, making it perfect for the application. So what's the problem? There are literally thousands of choices of emollients available for evaluation—and a product needs to be finished right away.Isoamyl Laurate is an ester of lauric acid with isopentanol (Isoamyl alcohol) derived from vegetable raw materials. It is a colorless liquid with low viscosity.

Isopropyl stearate is an ester of Isopropyl alcohol and stearic acid, a dry emollient that improves the spreadability of emulsions.
Isopropyl stearate is also a good solubilizer for active ingredients. It is a colorless low viscosity liquid.
Isostearyl Alcohol is an easy-spreading liquid fatty alcohol. It offers moisturizing properties and a very light, silky, soft, dry-skin feel.
Isostearyl Alcohol is ideally suited for facial care applications and has good potential for use in rinse-off formulas such as shower gels.
Isostearyl Neopentanoate is a high-purity synthetic ester that offers a velvety, evanescent touch and excellent spreading properties. Mainly useful in color cosmetics; add shine to lipstick or glow to a foundation.
Jojoba's wax esters cannot bond with other atoms or molecules, nor does it readily bond with oxygen - giving it an extensive shelf. As a result, skincare products with Jojoja will last longer and contribute to the skin's natural balance and youthfulness.
Jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds of an evergreen bush growing in the American Sonora desert. It improves skin elasticity, has a relaxing, protective, and moisturizing effect, and makes skin feel silky-soft.
Jojoba Oil Glycereth-8 Esters is a naturally transesterified Jojoba oil (Simmondsia Chinensis). This oil transforms into a water-soluble ingredient thanks to an exclusive transesterification process.
The rind of the green fruit of Black Walnut (Juglans Nigra) has been used to treat ringworm, tetter, and diphtheria. The nut is a food source rich in manganese, which is important for nerves and cartilage.
Extracted for the Cacay Nut, Kahai Oil is both highly regenerative and powerfully antioxidant. A rich source of linoleic acid, Vitamin E and Retinol.
Kojic dipalmitate is a Kojic acid derivative widely used in skin brightening applications thanks to its high effectiveness and outstanding stability in formulations. Similarly to Kojic acid, it inhibits tyrosinase enzymatic activity blocking melanin pigment production.
Lactomide is a milky, opalescent, beige dispersion. It is a nanoparticle lipid dispersion that improves the constitution and structure of the ceramide-containing lipid lamellae.
Rich in cholesterol, lanolin is well suited for the treatment of brittle hair and fingernails and dry and raw elbows, knees, and feet.
Lanolin Alcohol is an amber solid with a waxy consistency and faint odor. It is used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, thickener, moisturizer, and conditioning agent in personal care applications.
Lanolin oil is the lower melting point esters (liquid fraction) of lanolin, derived from the wool of sheep. It has a very characteristic odor.
Lauroyl Lysine is a fine white powder, a perfect organic powder for makeup, hair, and skincare products. Its hydrophobic characteristic improves makeup water resistance and improves the flow and spread of the oil/powder mixture.
Lecithin is a mix of phospholipids, a miracle serum that leaves your hair smooth and healthy. This structure-forming component helps repair dry hair. It infuses your hair with moisture and restores its natural barrier.
Essential fatty acids are recognized as a vital part of the human diet that cannot be synthesized internally. These fatty acids are the foundations of phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine, which are critical in the cell membrane to help facilitate the passage of biological substances.
Linoleamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate Dimethicone is a water-soluble organosilicon composition with high silicone content (60% of 25% activity) that delivers an exceptionally high silicone content to clear personal care formulations.
Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid (EFA). EFAs are fundamental constituents of bio-membranes and precursors of biological substances such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and hydroxylated fatty acids.
Licorice root extract contains almost all vitamins C, E, B3, and B5 that skin needs. Flavonoids from the extract inhibit tyrosinase and suppress the synthesis of melanin pigment decreasing hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
Macadamia oil is extracted from the chestnut-like stone fruits of the macadamia tree. Smoothes skin, slightly lifting, softening and regenerating. Ideally suited for dry, rough and sensitive skin as it is very similar to human sebum.
