Creagel® EZ: Designing emulsion with just water.

The advent of consumer expectations for multifunctional and premium range of products suggests us that the key requirement of the products flows with luxury feel of formulation and feel post application. Keeping these considerations in mind, we continuously seek to develop such pleasing formats and lend a hand to the formulation chemists with the additional benefit to mimic the soft feel as good as silicones.

It takes a lot to develop rich textured cosmetic formulations that come up to our expectations. Today, we can prominently say that complex formulations are readily possible with chemistry which promotes ‘drop-in-and-go’ technology to help us balance creativity with emulsifiers under tight deadlines to achieve the luxury emulsion formats with one step procedure. Alongside all these considerations, product innovation very important is since different textures are emerging and the expectations regarding sensory are increasing.

Cold process emulsifiers, creates ways to associate a number of benefits for the personal care and cosmetics formulator –from achieving tighter energy standards through to reduced energy consumption as they perform to meet key product performance criteria and improve the sustainability of business in given criterion for desired efficacy.

Creagel® EZ is a range of auto-emulsifiers for cold process. They are based on polymers and various emollients. Creagel® EZ can be used as primary emulsifiers or as co-emulsifiers to produce milky gel emulsions with a soft and non-tacky skin feel. Creagel® EZ are safe and non-irritating as they are fully polymerized. The monomer content is guaranteed to be below 0,1 ppm.

Creagel® EZ can be widely used in every product format in both hot and cold processes, and they can be added into formulations even after emulsification, in case further increase in viscosity and emulsion stability is desired. Creagel® EZ function in wide range of pHs, normally between 4-9, and in case of Creagel® EZ IN, even up to pH 12.

Emulsifiers used to create emulsions for personal care and cosmetic products is expected to meet certain characteristic properties to call it the best of all, factors to be considered in their selection and evaluating them before using in your personal care formulations for Creagel EZ range remains the key specialty.
• Fast and reliable results in cold process
• Easy to formulate with
• Suitable for a wide range of pH
• Can be added even after emulsification
• Silky feel with no tackiness
• Choice of ethoxylate-free products (EZ DF, IH, IN)
• Safe and non-irritant

This is the reason why cold process emulsifiers are becoming increasingly popular as a way of reducing costs and moving forward with easy to formulate kind of products which will show the best efficacy in will method. Vimal Lifesciences Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer are excellent emulsifiers for cold process emulsions. Furthermore, it also offers an excellent touch as well as improve smoothness, emolliency, acts as moisture barrier and hence increase moisture level of the skin. Skinfeel here is additionally influenced by various factors in combination with the chosen emollients which is well maintained by Creagel EZ range. That’s true!

Whats unique?
The strength and versatility of Creagel® EZ can be proved by the its ability to function in wide range of pH. They can go even up to pH 12 which ensures the stability of the product in variety product formats. Additionally, in most cases alcohol is incompatible with gel structures. Creagel® EZ remain well performing with ethanol levels up to 15%. Furthermore, studies support that gelifiers in general are very sensitive to electrolytes. Creagel® EZ products, due to their specific polymer structure, can resist electrolytes up to 1,5% concentrations. Therefore, Creagel EZs avails all the desired characteristics and the ideal behaviour to furnish the requirements for consumers.

And an icing on the cake?
Its application is flexible in skincare, haircare and suncare formulations. Dont Forget!

Even if emulsifiers are classified more as functional ingredients Creagel® EZ are designed to provide direct formulation benefits as they contribute to strengthening the structure of the product thereby stabilizing the formulation and deliver perfect sensory feel.
