Stephenson, an innovation leader and manufacturer of a wide range of soap bases and ingredients for the beauty and personal care market introduces Durosoft, its range of naturally derived polyglyceryl esters for the formulation of sustainable skincare, cosmetic, and hair care products.
Durosoft was developed to aid in the demand for natural products and green formulations across a wide variety of personal care and cosmetic applications, ranging from creams, solid lotions, cleansing oils, and micellar water.
"In line with our aim of staying one step ahead of the market, we are constantly growing our portfolio for personal care ingredients", explains Rob Carr, managing director of the Yorkshire-based company.
“With Durosoft we can answer the unique requirements of new product developers and formulation labs around sustainable emulsifiers and solubilisers – offering specific value for natural and sustainable raw material claims.”
As a mild and effective solution, Durosoft is ideal for use as a water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsifier to create stable emulsions, as a solubiliser, an emollient or as a foam booster.
“Durosoft offers multiple application functionalities – an emulsifying action to enhance stability and spreadability, and a solubilising effect that allows the stable incorporation of fragrances and oils while offering fantastic formulation stability,” Rob notes.
Durosoft is compatible with common synthetic ingredients and is a great starting point for creating natural products. Its non-ionic characteristics make it a perfect choice to use with a broad range of cosmetic oils, active ingredients, surfactants, and co-emulsifiers. It is also ideal for creating COSMOS, RSPO-SG certified, palm-free, and China-compliant products.
