BACKGROUND

Today’s consumer is concerned about synthetic ingredients in cosmetic products they use every day. Due to growing consumer awareness of sustainability and vegan lifestyle, all natural and plant-based products are on demand, while most functional ingredients in cosmetic formulations are synthetically derived. Natural Emulsifier Blend 60 combines the natural emulsifying properties of rice bran with guar gum to stabilize emulsions for elegant formulations.

Traditionally, organic emulsifiers lack the ability to deliver elegant formulations. Due to the fact that emulsification is a natural process, nature has the solution for cosmetic formulators. Nature produces its own emulsifiers, which allow both oil and water-soluble biomolecules to coexist as complex systems in plants. Specifically, the combination of organic rice bran and guar gum form a natural emulsifier ideal for oil-in-water systems. Natural Emulsifier Blend 60 is developed through a proprietary manufacturing process to bring elegance in formulations.

SCIENCE

Rice bran is a byproduct of rice milling, and is rich in protein, carbohydrates, and fatty acid content. Rice bran naturally contains lipase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes lipids into free fatty acids (FFA) leading to rancidity in final

products. If rice bran is stabilized, immediately after milling, rancidity is prevented. Some of the common methods used for lipase deactivation in rice bran are high temperature treatments and chemical processing. These methods are known to improve the shelf life of rice bran products but also they can significantly lower the nutrient content and purity of ingredients.

Natural bran is stabilized using a wet extrusion process, carried out in high moisture, a low-temperature system in the presence of amylase, an enzyme capable of digesting starches. The high moisture environment helps gelatinize carbohydrates of rice bran allowing the amylase enzymes to selectively digest the extra starch particles leaving out a high content of lipids and proteins. Then, protein and lipid content is determined prior to the addition of natural guar gum powder in the micro-milling process. Derived from Cyamopsis tetragonolbles, guar gum mainly functions in the water phase of an emulsion by naturally binding with water molecules to improve viscosity and texture of formulations. The cryogenic miller allows us to design the ideal microparticles composed of a balanced amount of dehydrated lipophilic and hydrophilic components necessary for stable emulsification. As a result, the three-dimensional design of rice bran and guar gum microparticles encourages a stable and balanced affinity to both oil and water molecules in systems with a 20% lipid load. Dehydrated components of microparticles hydrate immediately once mixed in oil and water phases of emulsions creating homogenous, smooth creams and lotions.

BENEFITS

The physical texture of a formula offers the immediate perception of a cosmetic product. A formulation that glides smoothly on the skin elicits positive emotions for the product.

Designed with the latest technology and quality ingredients, Natural Emulsifier Blend 60 is able to establish purely luxurious, stable emulsions that deliver multifunctional benefits all in one. We combine the efficacy from nature with our green and clean technology. Forming an easy to use, all-in-one emulsifier that breaks the challenges in the natural cosmetic marketplace. Natural Emulsifier Blend 60 is ideal for oil-in-water emulsions to help form a variety of textures involving gels, creams, and lotions. This product not only elevates the sensory properties of formulations but also adds pigment dispersion and moisturization benefits to natural cosmetic products.
