SNF introduced FLOCARE NAT 132 (*) at the 2019 Global InCosmetics trade show April 2-4 in Paris.
FLOCARE NAT 132 has been designed to meet the demands of new minimalist formulation trends with high Natural Index requirements. This polymer is natural in origin and is intended for use as a primary emulsifier in skin care formulations, creating a soft and fresh after-feel to specialty creams and lotions.
Based on a vegetable oil and a bio-based surfactant which are readily biodegradable, FLOCARE NAT 132 achieves a 67% Natural Index or Natural Origin Index according to the ISO 16128 Standard and is 100% Vegan.
Furthermore, since only small amounts of FLOCARE NAT 132 are required, formulations can be produced with a Natural Index close to 100%.
Using FLOCARE NAT 132 as the key emulsifier in skin care products allows formulators to easily develop creams containing up to 30% oil. In addition, this multifunctional polymer allows for the manufacture of emulsions by cold process, an easy, fast and cost-effective formulation system.
