TEGOSOFT® AC – the vegetable-based emollient with a light skin feel
TEGOSOFT® AC represents the next generation of emollients. Therefore it helps customers to be part of the latest market developments.
Monitoring the global cosmetic market, several trends can be observed. A most noticeable trend across all segments is the demand for natural based products. In addition there is a development towards lighter textures in the skin care segment. TEGOSOFT® AC is the emollient combining these trends.
Sensory panel tests proved that TEGOSOFT® AC imparts a light and non-oily skin feel. In contrast, most natural oils have a quite heavy, oily and tacky skin feel. Given that formulators working on certified natural cosmetics also need a certified emollient with a light skin feel, TEGOSOFT® AC provides the ideal solution for a more pleasant overall skin feel of the final cosmetic product. Therefore, TEGOSOFT® AC is of greatest interest for the modification of textures in certified formulas.
Additionally to its light skin feel TEGOSOFT® AC is a 100% vegetable-based emollient. The production process is based on Evonik's unique, low-energy enzymatic technology. This sustainable, eco-friendly production reduces energy consumption and CO2 emission in comparison with the standard esterification process. As result, TEGOSOFT® AC supports the market trend for sustainable formulations. TEGOSOFT® AC is NaTrue as well as Cosmos certified.
TEGOSOFT® AC is the product of choice for customers who are interested in combining a light skin feel with a natural, certified product.
