BACKGROUND
Today’s consumer is concerned about synthetic
ingredients in cosmetic products they use every day. Due to growing
consumer awareness of sustainability and vegan lifestyle, all natural and
plant-based products are on demand, while most functional ingredients in
cosmetic formulations are synthetically derived. Natural Emulsifier
Blend 60 combines the natural emulsifying properties of rice bran
with guar gum to stabilize emulsions for elegant formulations.
Traditionally, organic emulsifiers lack the ability to
deliver elegant formulations. Due to the fact that emulsification is a
natural process, nature has the solution for cosmetic formulators. Nature
produces its own emulsifiers, which allow both oil and water-soluble
biomolecules to coexist as complex systems in plants. Specifically, the
combination of organic rice bran and guar gum form a natural emulsifier
ideal for oil-in-water systems. Natural Emulsifier Blend 60 is
developed through a proprietary manufacturing process to bring elegance in
formulations.
SCIENCE
Rice bran is a byproduct of rice milling, and is rich
in protein, carbohydrates, and fatty acid content. Rice bran naturally
contains lipase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes lipids into free fatty acids
(FFA) leading to rancidity in final
products. If rice bran is stabilized, immediately
after milling, rancidity is prevented. Some of the common methods used for
lipase deactivation in rice bran are high temperature treatments and
chemical processing. These methods are known to improve the shelf life of
rice bran products but also they can significantly lower the nutrient
content and purity of ingredients.
Natural bran is stabilized using a wet extrusion
process, carried out in high moisture, a low-temperature system in
the presence of amylase, an enzyme capable of digesting starches. The high
moisture environment helps gelatinize carbohydrates of rice bran allowing
the amylase enzymes to selectively digest the extra starch particles leaving
out a high content of lipids and proteins. Then, protein and lipid content
is determined prior to the addition of natural guar gum powder in the
micro-milling process. Derived from Cyamopsis tetragonolbles, guar gum mainly
functions in the water phase of an emulsion by naturally binding with
water molecules to improve viscosity and texture of formulations. The cryogenic
miller allows us to design the ideal microparticles composed of a balanced
amount of dehydrated lipophilic and hydrophilic components necessary for
stable emulsification. As a result, the three-dimensional design of rice
bran and guar gum microparticles encourages a stable and balanced affinity
to both oil and water molecules in systems with a 20% lipid load. Dehydrated
components of microparticles hydrate immediately once mixed in oil and
water phases of emulsions creating homogenous, smooth creams and lotions.
BENEFITS
The physical texture of a formula offers the immediate
perception of a cosmetic product. A formulation that glides smoothly on
the skin elicits positive emotions for the product.
Designed with the latest technology and quality
ingredients, Natural Emulsifier Blend 60 is able to establish
purely luxurious, stable emulsions that deliver multifunctional benefits
all in one. We combine the efficacy from nature with our green and clean
technology. Forming an easy to use, all-in-one emulsifier that breaks the
challenges in the natural cosmetic marketplace. Natural Emulsifier
Blend 60 is ideal for oil-in-water emulsions to help form a variety of
textures involving gels, creams, and lotions. This product not only
elevates the sensory properties of formulations but also adds pigment
dispersion and moisturization benefits to natural cosmetic products.
