The Digital Lab - Formulations

These innovative dehydrated gel beads can be used to make serums and lotions when added to an aqueous solution. This particular texture allows to save water as this is the consumer himself who adds the water when he needs to use the formulation. To get a final product with the requested properties, the preservative and the actives are added at a high percentage and they will migrate into the aqueous phase by the principle of diffusion. The little beads will get bigger and softer so that they can also be used directly on the skin without any residue, thus allowing to use the formula entirely.

This formula is an anhydrous beige powder which changes color in contact with water to give a deep blue cleanser. Sabosoft RP gives it a smooth application and a soft after feel. Soapnut Extract Powder is perfectly adapted to this kind of formula due to its cleansing and anti-microbial properties. Salixin® Organic Powder 48 also adds anti-inflammatory properties to this cleanser. The intense change of color is due to the deep blue anti-oxidant active SAFIC’ Care A Blue Powder.

This particular formula looks like an oily gel but it is in fact an oil-in-water emulsion, with a lot of internal oily phase (from 60 to 70%). It is possible to obtain such a high oil load thanks to Pellicer™ L-30 which has a gemini structure thus allowing it to emulsify up to 70% of oil. Instead of being white as a traditional emulsion, a high amount of glycerin allows this cream to be transparent thanks to the adjustment of the refractive indexes. When applied on the skin, this gel-like texture will transform into oil, and then into milk when rinsed under water, leaving a nourishing skin feel thanks to the benefits of Neossance™ Squalane.
