TEGOSOFT AC represents the next generation of emollients

TEGOSOFT AC represents the next generation of emollients. Therefore it helps customers to be part of the latest market developments.

Monitoring the global cosmetic market, several trends can be observed. A most noticeable trend across all segments is the demand for natural based products. In addition there is a development towards lighter textures in the skin care segment.

TEGOSOFT AC is the emollient combining these trends. Sensory panel tests proved that TEGOSOFT AC imparts a light and non-oily skin feel. In contrast, most natural oils have a quite heavy, oily and tacky skin feel. Given that formulators working on certified natural cosmetics also need a certified emollient with a light skin feel, TEGOSOSFT AC provides the ideal solution for a more pleasant overall skin feel of the final cosmetic product.

Therefore, TEGOSOSFT AC is of greatest interest for the modification of textures in certified formulas. Additionally to it’s light skin feel TEGOSOSFT AC is a 100% vegetable-based emollient. The production process is based on Evonik’s unique, low-energy enzymatic technology. This sustainable, eco-friendly production reduces energy consumption and CO2 emission in comparison with the standard esterification process. As result, TEGOSOFT AC supports the market trend for sustainable formulations. TEGOSOSFT AC is NaTrue as well as Cosmos certified. TEGOSOFT AC is the product of choice for customers who are interested in combining a light skin feel with a natural, certified product.
