Global Seven recently introduced two new ingredients for the personal care industry. HEST 2T5E-4HS (INCI name: PEG-5 ditrimethylolpropane tetrahydroxystearate).
This 100% active, vegetable-derived replacement for lanolin melts at body temperature. In skin products, this ester provides a water-resistant film, helps boost SPF and provides barrier properties. It is also recommended in hair pomade to provide shine and gloss.
Also new is Global 4075 (glyceryl isostearate (and) caprylic/capric glycerides). Global 4075 is a light color, low odor liquid consisting of a blend of glyceryl esters. It is highly effective in anhydrous, non-polar systems creating products ranging from flowable gelsto hard sticks. The function of Global 4075 is to facilitate incorporation of the gelling agent, sodium stearate, into the anhydrous composition. By varying the ratios of ingredients in the composition, clarity and hardness can be varied from crystal clear and water white to opaque and creamy. Composition of the non-polar ingredients can include mineral oil, mineral oil replacements, esters, silicones, sunscreens, vegetable oils or fragrances.
