CosmoSurf® DDG-20

With ever-changing world of personal care market and environmental requirements comes a continuous need for advanced functional ingredients that break through the glass and generate innovations like never before. The rise in application of personal care products has led to the growth of color and pigmented cosmetics in the industry. We strive to help consumers enhance and protect their beauty with highly complementing ingredients from Vimal Lifesciences.

Even with the best film forming agents leading since decades, we still have room for improvement to develop exceeding benefits. This is particularly challenging when it comes to dispersing capabilities and excelling performance of formulations. This poses an obstacle for manufacturers, their formulations need to last all day long with transfer resistant effect, while containing maximum sustainable ingredients.

To address these challenges, product technologies must allow formulators to develop formulations with improved properties at potentially lower cost.
The new film former CosmoSurf® DDG-20 fulfills all of these demands, while helping product developers increase acceptance of their product. A film former with exceptional dispersing capabilities creating microplastic free, coral reef safe, biodegradable ingredients using patented molecular technology.

How does it work?
This material has the ability to leave a hydrophobic breathable film capable of holding actives on the skin. The film is also very flexible and have the ability to deposit on a wet or hydrophobic surface. DDG-20 can be used as natural replacements to plastic Acrylate Copolymers in SPF products. It is designed specifically for personal care formulations that require a balance of solubility, film formation and pigment dispersion functionality.
This Complex ester system utilizes a branched ester to disperse pigments in a uniform manner to enhance the dispersion stability.

That’s true!

The other components of this complex ester system create a highly functional, hydrophobic barrier on the skin with superior esthetics. This provides the ability to hold hydrophobic active ingredients on the skin and successfully pass 80 min water immersion in vivo SPF testing.
CosmoSurf® DDG-20 is also ideal for developing stable iron oxide dispersions with enhanced dispersion stability, substantive film forming properties with an exceptional sensory profile.

Have you heard this?!

CosmoSurf® DDG-20 also has the ability to biodegrade over time.

Yes, the evaluation studies revealed that CosmoSurf® DDG-20 was 30% biodegraded in just 28 days.
With our credence and concern to protect environment for today & near-term future generations, we inevitably choose to accelerate greener alternatives. We believe this path to a greener tomorrow devoid from non-green plastics (polyacrylates, polyethylene, PEG, etc.) to highly functional polymers that are naturally derived and made from renewable resources without any catalyst or solvents.

So go ahead and engage with increasingly global eco-conscious consumers by providing a high performance and environmentally sound film former which additionally delivers the benefits of exceptional dispersing capabilities in entire pigmented range to every skincare product.
