ABIL® Care XL 80:
Novel silicone based oil-in-water emulsifier
ABIL® Care XL 80 provides an outstanding combination of performance and aesthetics. Formulations based on this new emulsifier feel very velvety and silky and have a light, smooth after-feel on the skin. In addition, its innovative molecular architecture results in outstanding emulsifying and stabilizing properties. Creams, lotions and sprays containing all type of active ingredients or UV filters can easily be formulated with ABIL® Care XL 80. It is suitable for both hot and cold processing and a flexible and powerful tool for developing skin care emulsions with premium characteristics.
ABIL® T Quat 60:
Premium silicone conditioning agent
The new ABIL® T Quat 60 is a premium silicone conditioning agent with excellent substantivity to hair keratine, outstanding conditioning features and impressive heat protection properties for universal use in conditioning shampoos, hair rinses, balms, body washes and leave-in formulations. ABIL® T Quat 60 is highly suitable for clear formulations. In surfactant formulations, ABIL® T Quat 60 shows a significantly reduced thinning effect compared to standard silicone derivatives, provides a superior skin feel and improves the foam properties.
ANTIL® Soft SC:
Natural choice for a multifunctional thickening agent
ANTIL® Soft SC is a liquid thickening agent for rinse-off formulations that improves foam creaminess and reduces moisture loss of skin and hair after surfactant treatment. It shows excellent thickening and solubilising properties in various surfactant systems and works as a foam booster even in PEG-free formulations. ANTIL® Soft SC is very easy to process. It is PEG-free, based on natural raw materials and readily biodegradable, which complies to Ecocert standard.
