ELDERLY PEOPLE Formulations Guideline The technology of KAO s surfactants applied to Personal Care products
Health care through experience Why focus on elderly people? Nowadays demographic changes are becoming more and more important in our society. People live longer and this is reflected in the growing population of over- 50-year-olds. In addition, it seems that health and beauty care is becoming a must among senior citizens, and even if this segment includes retired people, it seems likely to remain a strong consumer group with the potential to become, in the near future, the most important and valuable one in the cosmetics market. Our product range II. SHAMPOOS II. CONDITIONERS I. SKIN CARE iv. BATH GELS Different needs different properties It is common knowledge that elderly people have different needs regarding health and beauty care when compared with younger population segments. Among other characteristics, aging skin is more fragile, paler, drier and also more sensitive. The same applies to the hair, as changes occur in the hair cuticle and cortex. KAO Chemicals Europe, in line with the latest market demands and trends, has developed a complete cosmetic formulation range for hair, skin and body care, consisting of our best and newest products. 2
I. SKIN CARE The most common factor of elderly skin is that it is usually dry. This is because as people age the skin gets thinner as well as losing collagen and elastin, and because of that it is less able to retain moisture. In addition, elderly skin has fewer defenses, making it more vulnerable to external aggression from cold, wind and sunlight. MOISTURIZING CREAM Ref. C-213 This formulation is a neutral, light, soft and highly emollient cream specially designed for dry and mature skin. It can be used all over the body, soothing and firming the skin and improving its natural beauty. Incorporating active ingredients such as papaya fruit, it protects the skin whilst moisturizing, without leaving a greasy feeling. In this case LEVENOL H&B, a glycerin-derived 100% active surfactant, provides a highly moisturizing effect, while AKYPO RLM 100 acts as an emulsifier combined with Cetearyl alcohol, for consistent creaminess without soapiness.

AKYPO range Alkyl Ether Carboxylic acids (AECs) and their salts are anionic surfactants with multifunctional and outstanding properties for Personal Care products. Main Properties Mildness Improving Agent Hair & Skin Conditioning Hair Color Protection Foam & Lather Booster Solubilizer & Emulsifier Effect on Viscosity Green Product The products included in the AKYPO range differ from each other in degree of ethoxylation and alkyl chain length. For cosmetic applications, vegetable-origin fatty alcohols are used, mainly coconut alkyl chain (C12/14), because of the high foaming properties required for cleansing products. AKYPO also enhances coacervate formation, improving the adsorption of insoluble agents such as silicones. The AKYPO range consists of water-in-oil emulsifiers for lotions or creams. They are efficient over a broad ph range and can emulsify all types of oils, with no soaping effect. For further information see our AKYPO leaflets or visit our website www.kaochemicals-eu.com 3
II. SHAMPOOS Whilst anti-aging products have historically focused on the skin and its protection, this has now been extended to the hair with the aim of keeping it looking shiny and healthy, an appearance associated with youthfulness. Formulators therefore work on a wide range of products, all of which are designed to meet the needs of elderly people.
