Certified Natural Ingredients Range
As the drive for natural, organic and certified organic
products continues, we are proud to offer the following
diverse materials for consideration when formulating
within this category.
Consumers are becoming ever savvier
within this market sector, with demands
for socially and responsibly sourced
materials from renewable and sustainable
sources. Recyclable packaging, low
carbon footprint, Fair Trade and free-from
claims continue along with the requirement
for performance and price to be similar to
synthetic versions. A tall order we know,
but we are here to offer you inspiration from
our range of effective actives and functional
materials that fall within this category.
Please check with us on an individual basis
for compliance.

Certified
Amisol™ Soft
(INCI: Behenyl Alcohol (and) Glyceryl Stearate
(and) Lecithin (and) Glycine Soja (Soybean)
Sterols) is an optimised blend of Phospholipids,
Phytosterols and vegetable Lipids which forms
lamellar O/W emulsions for soft applications.
This Biomimetic structure is particularly suitable
for sensitive or stressed skins. Amisol™ Soft
maintains the protective function of the Stratum
corneum, reduces TEWL and optimises
hydration. Ideal for sensitive skin, baby, sun
care and make-up applications.
Recommended use level: 3 - 6%
Amisol Trio™
(INCI: Phospholipids (and) Glycine Soja
(Soybean) Oil (and) Glycolipids (and) Glycine
Soja (Soybean) Sterols). An eco-friendly active
biolipid complex, extracted from Soybean, ideal
for sensitive and delicate skin and hair. Amisol
Trio™ is composed of essential Biolipids present
in each cell membrane, such as Phospholipids,
Glycolipids, Phytosterols and Vitamin F (Linoleic
acid). It provides super-fatting properties, offers
protection and improves the moisture balance
of the hair and the skin (even in rinse-off
applications). Amisol Trio™ also nourishes nails.
Recommended usage level: 0.5 - 1.5%
Biophilic™
(INCI: BIOPHILIC™ H: Hydrogenated Lecithin
(and) C12-16 Alcohols (and) Palmitic Acid;
BIOPHILIC™ S: Lecithin (and) C12-16 Alcohols
(and) Palmitic Acid). A patented natural lamellar
O/W system based on the emulsifying properties
of Phospholipids combined with other vegetable
Lipids. The lamellar emulsion mimics the
lipid structure of the stratum corneum for a
perfect affinity. It acts as a “second skin” and
therefore helps restore the cutaneous barrier of
damaged skin. Two grades exist: Biophilic™ H
(hydrogenated Lecithin) and Biophilic™ S (nonhydrogenated Lecithin and so a chelating agent
and anitoxidant is required). The emulsion melts
on the skin for a sophisticated skin feel during
the application and forms a restructuring film
which reduces TEWL.
Recommended use level: 3 - 6%

(and) Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut)
Seed Extract (and) Water (and) Menthol) is
a Phospholipid gel with Escin and Menthol.
Menthol amplifies the penetration effect of
Phosphatidylcholine, reorganising the stratum
corneum and consequently improving Escin
penetration. Capt-System™ Es-M exists in 2
versions: the standard hydrosoluble version
containing 5% Escin and the Ecocert liposoluble
version (Capt-System™ Es-M Nature) containing
2% Escin.

food-approved emulsifier for W/O formulations.
In general, W/O concepts are frequently used
for sun care and baby products as well as for
intensive skin care, mature skin and protective
concepts. However, W/O products are not very
popular due to their sensorial profile. The rich
and caring concepts are generally perceived
as heavy and greasy on the skin by consumers.
Dermofeel® GO soft is a versatile W/O emulsifier
with a unique skin feel. It converts W/O creams
into soft and pleasant formulations that are easily
applied on the skin. The heavy and traditional
sensorial profile of W/O formulations will soon be
a thing of the past if Dermofeel® GO soft is used.
Dermofeel® GO soft is also economic to use and
the concentration needed is very low.

Octiol to regulate viscosity.
Recommended use level: 2 – 4%
Dermofeel® sensolv
(INCI: Isoamyl Laurate) is a polar oil that exhibits
excellent solvating power for commonly used UVfilters. Together with its excellent ability to disperse
pigments it makes Dermofeel® sensolv a first choice
ingredient for use in sunscreen products. Tests
comparing it with other solvating oil components
like C12-15 Alkyl Benzoates show a comparable
performance, with a much better sensorial profile.
Particularly the spreadability of the formulation – often
a problem in products with high SPF – is improved
significantly. These properties make Dermofeel®
sensolv also an ideal choice for colour cosmetics or as
a basic oil in skin care products. Its low viscosity and
surface tension contribute to improve the spreadability
of formulations. In combination with the solvating and
dispersing qualities, Dermofeel® sensolv is an ideal

destabilising agents. Polyvalent, it allows the formulation of
a wide range of textures leaving a soft and velvety touch.
Ideal for sprayable to cream emulsions, wipes, suncare (as
HeliofeelTM is not lamellar and so doesn’t penetrate) and
make-up applications.
Recommended use level: 3 - 6%
HONEY SUN FLOWER
(INCI: Pleurotus Ostreatus Extract, Maltodextrin,
Pollen Extract) is a standardised active ingredient
manufactured using a non-solvent process which gives
a perfect synergy between a Mushroom extract (rich in
film-forming polysaccharides) and a unique extract from
Lolium Perenne Flower (rich in essential amino-acids
and other beneficial co-factors). It is particularly efficient
in treating skin that has been exposed to an acute stress
linked to sun exposure. Its effective film forming activity
helps to prevent further dehydration by water loss. In
addition, inflammatory mediators are modulated and the
skin is soothed and re-energised.
Recommended use level: 0.5 - 2%
Hydraporine™
(INCI: Betaine (and) Water (and) Glycerin (and)
Hydrogenated Lecithin (and) Honey (and) Pectin)
is a combination of four natural ingredients
which have a complementary action to deeply
moisturise the skin and restore optimal hydration.
Trimethylglycine (TMG) from sugar beet, known
for its osmoregulation properties, hydrates the
skin according to its needs. Pectin derived from
citrus, is the intercellular cement of fruits and
prevents them from dehydration. Combined
with the specific sugar composition of Lemon
Tree Honey (38% Levulose, 31% Dextrose),
pectin gels and forms a film at the surface of
the skin to avoid the dehydration and keeps
skin moisturised. Phospholipids are known for
their useful physiological and technical benefits.
They restore skin barrier function, reduce water
loss and vectorise water soluble ingredients as
Trimethylglycine and Honey to enhance their
penetration.

ideal for formulating very mild toiletry products; resulting
formulas are transparent with a pleasant creamy foam
and good viscosity. Skin is less irritated, as the superficial
barrier is not completely damaged during washing.
Specifeel® EM is a specially formulated base that can be
used immediately by a simple dilution with water (as easy
as 50%-50%) to formulate instant toiletries. The use of
preservatives is also reduced or even eliminated thanks to
its self-preserving nature.

clear and unified complexion. Whitessence™ provides
a significant lightening effect after two months with
panellists reporting lighter and more unified skin as well
as a reduction of age spots.
