The skin is the body’s largest organ. It is exposed to innumerable harmful influences on a daily basis and therefore requires special protection. Skin care should therefore be part of your daily routine. Emulsions play an important role in this context as they provide special care effects to the skin. They come in very different viscosities: in liquid form, they are called lotions, while (highly) viscous formulations are called creams. Numerous emulsifiers are available to develop sophisticated formulations containing oils or active ingredients.
The pleasant skin sensation as well as the stability of cosmetic emulsions strongly depend on the formulation’s emulsifier system. We offer highly effective solutions, from our classic MULSIFAN range to the outstanding efficacy of the PROTELAN and SEBUMOL ranges, which are suitable for any O/W and W/O emulsions.
Zschimmer & Schwarz offers an extensive portfolio of emollients. When they are combined, a wide variety of sensory effects, textures and other properties can be achieved: from light to heavy consistencies, and from short to medium playtime.
Polymers created in our patented wax-grafting process contain a crystalline portion that provides barrier functions to the skin. At the same time, this technology ensures optimal moisture retention, elasticity and tactile properties, such as smoothness and comfortable wear. The grafted, amorphous portion achieves film formation, adhesion and substantivity.
Humectants are hydrophilic ingredients that pull water from the dermis, the second layer of skin, to the epidermis, the top layer of skin. This process increases the level of moisture in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin.
