Raw materials

Acticire® MB is a product texture regulator based on a complex of functional waxes that create a soft, smooth layer that protects the skin from dehydration and ensures a comfortable feeling throughout the day. Natural waxes have interesting cosmetic properties: they create a barrier against moisture loss, come from renewable sources and have an excellent safety profile. For example, jojoba wax creates soft and easily spreadable textures, mimosa wax has film-forming properties, and sunflower wax has excellent thermostability. Vegetable waxes protect the skin, but they are themselves demanding in emulsion formulations and leave a rough feel on the skin. Acticire® MB in formulations produces smaller and more rounded crystals that create a very smooth layer on the skin that gives a soft touch. It is a patented technology of transesterification of solid and liquid waxes with polyglycerol. This raw material is perfectly stable in emulsions and presents new sensory advantages.
