Brenntag: New guide formulations
Brenntag Spécialités, a French subsidiary of the Brenntag group, a distributor of specialty and industrial chemicals, has opened an Application Laboratory dedicated to cosmetic products.
The Application Laboratory of Brenntag Spécialités, dedicated to cosmetic products, proposes two new guide formulations: a concrete with a fruity and delicious fragrance, and a light and non-sticky emulsion.
The perfume concrete [1] has been formulated in a soft and non-sticky texture. The fragrance, which is distributed by Brenntag Specialités, is fruity, floral and delicious, with fresh head notes of licorice.
The oil in water emulsion is a light, easy to spread and not sticky formula [2]. The goal is to provide users with a smoothly sensation, thanks in particular to its rapid penetration into the epidermis.
“The Sympatens O/2500G, a nonionic emulsifier natural, makes a great addition to this formula,” said Marion Mouchonnet, head of Brenntag’s laboratory for cosmetic applications. “Indeed, the addition of a co-emulsifier is not necessary for its use. It can be added either in the oily phase or in the aqueous phase. The icing on the cake is that it is certified by ECOCERT.”
Brenntag Spécialités opened the doors of its Application Laboratory for cosmetics in early 2011. The facility is located in Amiens, North of France. The lab has already formulated and proposed a series of products (an exfoliating gel based on cork powder, a sweet oil for the bath, an organic [3] emulsion, etc…) from the various ingredients distributed by the group in France. “Our goal is to suggest ideas and propositions for almost all the categories of cosmetics,” added Marion Mouchonnet.
