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.

Butters

Shea Olein / Karite ON

By separating the triglycerides of saturated acids from unsaturated ones through the winterization process, shea butter olein is created. It is a liquid oil with a higher oleic acid content and has a different INCI name than shea butter to distinguish it on the declaration of cosmetic ingredients in the product. Shea butter olein is absorbed through the skin faster than butter itself and does not have an occlusive role, so we will use the original butter for very dry skin and skin of atopic patients and we will use it in balms. We will use shea butter olein in formulations where we want to achieve the effects of cinnamic acid esters and other triterpenes (hair products, UV protection, regeneration) and we want the final formulation to be less occlusive and heavy.

Butters

Mango butter / Cold pressed / Refined

+3

Mango butter contains approximately equal amounts of oleic and stearic acids. It has a similar fatty acid profile to shea butter, but has an average melting point of 5-10 °C higher. Therefore, it forms much firmer butters and balms than shea butter, and fewer waxes are needed in recipes. It is well absorbed into the skin and, like most butters, protects well against drying out.

It is known as a hair care butter. Its rich texture and easy spreadability make it a desirable addition to massage butters. Its good ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids also makes it a good raw material for the production of soaps with rich lather and a gentle effect on the skin, similar to palm oil.
