Minasolve introduces the new Sensofeel product line based on Microfibrillated Cellulose (MFC).
MFC is manufactured using a patented process that subjects natural cellulose fibers to mechanical shearing.
This breaks up the originally linear fibers into a three-dimensional network and increases the surface area per volume by a factor of about 1000.
It enables formulators to develop natural cosmetics with high sensory appeal:
– O/W emulsions acquire a rich texture with a velvety touch and reduced oiliness
– Emulsions become whiter/brighter, without the use of pigments such as titanium dioxide
– Make-up formulations with colored pigments obtain a higher coverage
– Surfactants yield more stable foam with high volume and creamy texture
- Three variants for different applications:
|
A-Sensofeel MFC INCI: Cellulose, Glycerin, Water |
E-Sensofeel MFC 5 INCI: Water, Pentylene Glycol, Cellulose, Xanthan Gum |
E-Sensofeel MFC 8 INCI: Water, Glycerin, Cellulose, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum |
|
-Highly concentrated -For maximum flexibility -Particularly suitable for O/W emulsions and dry powder formulations -Requires a high shear mixing step to activate full performance -Typical use level: 0.2 – 4 % |
– Ready to use gels – for easy application – For O/W emulsions and surfactants products (shampoo, shower gel, hand wash, …) – Can be also incorporated without high shear mixing – Typical use level: 3 – 20 %
