Bluestar Silicones at FCE Cosmetique 2016: to present new silicone products in Mirasil range
FOCUS groundbreaking ceremony at its Chocques manufacturing site in northern France that signals the start of a €18 M capital investment. The focus of the project is a new alkoxylation production facility that will increase capacity at the site by 20% when it becomes fully operational in early-2017. The extra volume will not only allow Croda to meet the ever increasing demand for some of its most renowned surfactants within the Tween, Brij, and Myrj range, it will also significantly improve the flexibility of production across the site.

At the 2016 New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists (NYSCC) Suppliers' Day at the New Jersey
July 2016
Convention and Exposition Centre on 10-11 May 2016, Univar's Personal Care team presented several new prototype formulations that leverage market trends, Univar's strategic suppliers, and the formulating expertise required for both highperformance and total-cost-offormulation requirements. Univar Personal Care experts were on hand to demonstrate the company's unique portfolio of speciality ingredients from Corbion, Dow Corning, Emerald Performance Materials, Evonik, Ingredion, New Phase Technologies, Novacyl, Penreco, Stepan, Sun Chemical and the company's newest additions (Jungbunzlauer and Dastech). Multicultural highlights include Abyssinian oil-based sulfatefree shampoo, Monoi oil, Edge gel, styling gel, hair masque, and braid serum. Other offers include matte lip gloss, in-shower moisturizer, wrinklereducing neck cream, tattoo protecting sunscreen, sulfate-free shampoo and retro body cream. New data supports the use of Emerald's food-grade preservatives in personal care cleansing systems as a 'drop in' solution. Unlike many other parabenfree alternatives, these materials are economical for all surfactant systems and globally acceptable. New data shows efficacy in even near-neutral wash-off systems using both sodium benzoate and combinations with benzyl alcohol.

Bluestar Silicones was present at FCE Cosmetique 2016, with its distributor Dinaco, and presented four new products from Mirasil range for the personal care market. Mirasil Balance is a very effective emulsifier for water in oil and water in silicone emulsions, suitable for both cold and elevated temperature processes. It will find applications principally in skin care formulations (i.e. skin/body creams and lotions, sun care creams
3
FOCUS and lotions) and in foundations or other colour cosmetics products. Mirasil Caprylyl TSO is an emollient with considerable spreading power, particularly for non-polar liquids, which leaves a light, silky and smooth feel. It will be very useful in the formulation of a great variety of skin care, deodorants and colour cosmetics products. Mirasil Cetyl DM is a liquid silicone wax, compatible with numerous cosmetic ingredients, which leaves a nice durable velvet touch on skin and can also be used as dispersing aid for pigments and actives. A good choice for eyeliners, lipsticks, foundations as well as skin and sun care lotions and creams. Mirasil PEG 12 DM is a versatile silicone surfactant which offers multiple benefits like foam stabilization, light conditioning effect and silky feel. Useful for both hair care and skin care application fields, it will be typically used in shaving foams and gels as well as shampoos & conditioners. Original Source: Bluestar Silicones, 2016.

styling systems. Dermacryl 79 and Dermacryl E polymers give superior water resistance and SPF retention in sunscreens ranging from alcohol-based continuous sprays to emulsion-based sun care products. Offering broad-spectrum UVprotection, they impart rinse-off and rub-off resistance, and a light, nontacky feel on skin. Celquat polymers provide excellent conditioning and they improve deposition of actives from rinse-off systems to hair and skin. Armocare VGH-70 and Arquad SV-60P quaternary surfactants offer superior wet and dry combing of hair with excellent sensory properties. Dry-Flo aesthetic modifiers, based on naturally-derived starch technology, have excellent oil adsorbing properties which help formulators create products that promise sensational sensory experiences. An economic and highpurity alternative for formulators, Tapioca Pure 100% natural starch reduces tack and perceived oiliness in aqueous and anhydrous formulations, for a pleasant and powdery feel on skin. Purity 21C Pure aesthetic enhancer is an effective oil absorber and is ideal for formulations that require high whiteness and free-flowing properties. AkzoNobel rheology modifiers thicken, suspend and stabilize formulations to create consumer-pleasing textures and aesthetics. The company offers a diverse product range of synthetic and naturally-derived materials that meet formulator needs. For example, the Structure polymer series contains synthetic and natural rheology modifiers to give unique textures with thickening in various pH ranges. Amaze XT polymer offers suspension properties with a unique texture and is 100% natural. Elfacos GT 282S enables formulators to create crystal clear gel and cleansing formulations at a wide pH range (2-12) in surfactants and water systems. Balance RCFg polymer provides excellent viscosity build with high clarity in the presence of surfactants, including sulfate-free systems. Original Source: AkzoNobel, 2016.
