OPACREAM

INCI

Potassium Palmitoyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein; Glyceryl Stearate; Glycol Distearate

Description

OPACREAM is a natural cosmetic opacifier specifically formulated to replace the plastic polymers or microplastics normally used in the cosmetic market.
 
OPACREAM is an ideal raw material for all those formulators who want to give their cosmetic products a pleasant, luxurious and delicate appearance, in shampoos, shower creams, liquid soaps and products for delicate skin.

OPACREAM guarantees high skin compatibility and superior quality and homogeneity. 

It is an opacifier for cosmetic products of vegetable origin and is therefore biodegradable under normal atmospheric conditions.

It is a raw material with excellent compatibility with the most common raw materials used (anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants), and it is easy to include in common cosmetic formulations, whether creams, lotions or gels.
 
The product is supplied in the form of an ivory-coloured, low-viscosity micro-emulsion and is therefore easy to handle (no pre-dissolving phase is required and it is cold processable) and to incorporate into existing continuous and non-continuous production processes.
The wheat lipoproteins in OPACREAM also have an important role to play in reducing the aggressiveness of anionic surfactants and providing nutrients to the skin in the form of amino acids.
 

Use

OPACREAM is recommended for use in formulations ranging from 0.5 to 1.5%.
The best results are obtained by adding OPACREAM at the end of the formulation, at room temperature and in a dosage of 0.8 - 1.2%.

The lamellar particle size of OPACREAM (between 100 and 700 µm in diameter) is ideal in terms of stability and dispersion performance in finished products.

OPACREAM can be used without the aid of a rheology modifier if the viscosity of the finished product is greater than 2000 mPas/cps.

Advantages

  • High opacity even at low concentrations;
  • White, dense and creamy appearance of the finished product;
  • Using OPACREAM, the cosmetic preparation acquires an important emollient and moisturizing action;
  • The wheat lipoproteins, contained in OPACREAM, are able to reduce the irritation potential of traditional anionic surfactants;
  • It has an important emollient and moisturising action in cosmetic skin cleansing;
  • Natural and therefore bio-degradable;
  • Sulphate-free;
  • Easy to handle;
  • Cold processable;
  • Non-allergenic;
  • Natural Origin Index (ISO Standard 16128) > 0.95%.
  • No need to add a rheology agent if RV viscosity is higher than 2000 mPas
