The smart customized polymer for color & skincare cosmetics A new generation of high performance and more effective polymer with unlimited applications to give a new twist to your formula. Easy to use, tasteless and crystal clear, enables you to: 1) Generate a long lasting effect 2) Improve the wash-off resistance 3) Volumize eyelashes within minutes 4) Enhance pigments spreading
Focus on the product What is made of? is a combination of two ingredients: Octyldodecanol, an emollient often used as moisturizer, which provides a soft touch. VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, a well known polymer that helps in dispersion of pigments while providing a shiny and glossy effect. Its improved amphiphilic structure allows for a special organization of pigments as it comes in contact with water or oil. CH N CH 2 CH CH 2 O R R = C 14 H 29 x y The result is a multi-faceted film-forming polymer which can be used in a wide range of products. : THE intelligent polymer adapts itself in the formulations thus showcasing their properties: On lips In a lipgloss/lipstick, it helps the pigments to disperse uniformly, stabilizing them thus providing for a longer wear time. The final color aspects of the product on lips stays intact without smearing or bleeding to the outer edges: an alternative way to keep the lips in shape! Skin: Stratum Corneum Moisture film on the lips On skin When incorporated in a foundation/sunscreen cream,, thanks to its amphiphilic form, is able to rearrange itself and capture the pigments. This results in a better spreading of pigments/filters, a longlasting performance and a wash-off resistance. Skin: Stratum Corneum Hydrolipidic film on the skin On eyelashes Eyelash section Hydrophobic layer In a mascara, with its film-forming capacity, it provides a sheathing effect and improves the pigments spreadability around the eyelashes providing a volumizing effect and the wear/water resistance, for a long-lasting result. Lipidic film on the eyelash
Formulation performance The best polymer for all kinds of formulation Characteristics Reference commercial polymer for mascara and foundation Reference commercial polymer for lipgloss/lipstick Smell Strong recognizable smell Neutral smell Neutral smell Taste Unpleasant taste Neutral taste Neutral taste Solubility Water-soluble Oil-soluble Oil-soluble Preservation Preservative No preservative No preservative possesses general impressive characteristics: thanks to its neutral smell and taste, and due to its solubility in oils, Unimer U-1946 is the ideal candidate for anhydrous formulations. This all in one polymer now allows to formulate lipsticks, lipgloss, water-resistant foundation easily. : an easy-to-formulate polymer Characteristics Reference commercial polymer for mascara and foundation Reference commercial polymer for lipgloss/lipstick Incorporation Only at the end At any time in the oily phase or after emulsification At any time in the oily phase or after emulsification Temperature Only at temperature under 40 C Can be incorporated at hot and cold temperatures Can be incorporated at hot and cold temperatures Viscosity Concentration helps having faster a higher viscosity than with the benchmark 2.5 times less is needed for the same results than with the benchmarks for mascara and foundation has outstanding formulating properties. It is easier to use than the benchmark references since it is possible to add it to your formulations at any time and temperature. It helps increase viscosity. Most importantly due to its high concentration in polymer, less is required compared to the benchmarks to get the same results for mascara and foundation formulations.
