COCO BARLEY AMINO ACIDS

ECO-SURFACTANTS 2.0

COCO BARLEY AMINO ACIDS

INCI

Sodium Cocoyl Barley Amino Acids

Description

COCO BARLEY AMINO ACIDS is an innovative and modern vegetal surfactant obtained by coconut fatty acids and barley amino acids. This product gives softness and hydration to the skin. COCO BARLEY AMINO ACIDS can be used both as primary both as secondary surfactant. When it is used with traditional anionic surfactants it can reduce their irritation potential. The type of foam obtained is extraordinary to the touch and is creamy and stable. The obtained detergent will be free of surfactants derived from petroleum chemistry, sulphates, heterosulphates and PEGs derived. Moreover, it can enhance the dispersion of essential oil and perfumes. COCO BARLEY AMINO ACIDS is a natural product, Ecocert Cosmos certifiable, ecosustainable and ecodegradable.

Use

COCO BARLEY AMINO ACIDS is highly recommended in those detergents that guarantee a delicate, dermatologically safe and eco-sustainable detergency. It can be used as the only detergent substance or in combination with common surfactants used in cosmetics. It is colourless and odourless and therefore easy to use. With this product is possible to create cosmetic detergents without petroleum derivatives: in this case, in order to obtain the viscosity in low active solutions, we recommend the use of alkylamidobetaine, and the peak is reached at pH 5,8 – 6,3 approx.  COCO BARLEY AMINO ACIDS also has an excellent solubilizing power for perfumes. The product is Ecocert Cosmos certifiable and can therefore be used in Ecocert Cosmos formulations.

Advantages

  • It is a vegetal surfactant, and therefore it is eco-friendly;
  • Its amino acids composition makes the product highly dermo-related due to their presence in the cutaneous system and it gives softness and hydration to the skin;
  • It hydrates and protects the skin;
  • It is characterized by a strong foaming and cleansing power; moreover the foam is fine, creamy to the touch and stable;
  • It can be used as primary surfactant;
  • When it is used with tradional anionic surfactants it can reduce their irritation potential;
  • Odourless and colourless
  • It easily solubilizes perfumes;
  • It reaches a good viscosity with alkylamidobetaine, at pH at 5,8 – 6,3;
  • Preservatives-free;
  • Ecocert Cosmos certifiable detergents, organic, eco-sustainable, SLES-, PEGs-, and basic amines-free.

Description

COCO GLUTAMATE PURE is an innovative anionic surfactant in powder characterised by extreme mildness and produced from raw materials of natural origin such as coconut fatty acids and sodium glutamate.

COCO GLUTAMATE PURE is an anhydrous product characterized by remarkable cleansing properties and is compatible with the common cosmetic ingredients employed in solid cosmetics. The product is characterized by its extreme skin delicacy, and is therefore suitable for the preparation of soaps for delicate skin or baby care products. It forms in contact with water a creamy and resistant foam.

It is compatible with the most recent standards in terms of green cosmetics as its production is carried out without solvents, without preservatives and from 100% vegetable sources.

The product is COSMOS certified, and can therefore be used in COSMOS formulations for both home cleaning and personal care.

Potassium Cocoyl Rice Amino Acids; Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside; Glyceryl Oleate;

Description

COCO SOL CRYSTAL is a modern surfactant PEG-free with an excellent solubilising power towards perfumes and essential oils. It is composed by natural amino acids, glucosides and glycerides. COCO SOL CRYSTAL makes it possible to replace PEG-derivatives in final product, like PEG-40 Castor Oil, with a totally natural ingredient. COCO SOL CRYSTAL acts as a solubilizing agent and, moreover, as co-surfactant to increase viscosity and foaming power. The product is Ecocert Cosmos certified and, therefore, can be used in Ecocert Cosmos formulations.

INCI

Sodium Cocoyl Collagen Amino Acids;

Description

COCO ECO-COLLAGEN AMINO ACIDS is a modern and vegetal surfactant obtained by type 1 collagen protein reconstituted by amino acidic sequence, condensed with coconut fatty acids. It contains the amino acids typical of collagen and therefore it is totally skin-compatible, giving softness and hydration. The amino acidic component typical of collagen is reconstituited, and so the product has a vegetal and not animal origin. It owns a remarkable detergent power, and when it is used in combination with tradional anionic surfactants, it can reduce their irritation potential. Moreover, it makes a creamy foam and it has a reasonable solubilizing power.

Description

Liposine Glyglu/R is a modern foaming surfactant with innovative and unique characteristics: it is in fact of completely natural origin (COSMOS certified) and at the same time highly foaming and foam stabilizing.
These characteristics make it possible to use it for the formulation of innovative, modern cosmetics that meet the requirements of ecological and skin-friendly cosmetics without sacrificing performance in terms of foaming and cleansing as it often happens with natural products.
Liposine Glyglu/R has been synthesized starting from a particular combination of amino acids already present in nature, those of rice protein, and condensing them with coconut fatty acids. The interaction of cocoylglycine with cocoylglutamate and the other amino acids present in the formula, forms a lipoaminoacidic complex capable of foaming, cleansing abundantly and replacing the primary synthetic surfactants.
The result has allowed to obtain a product that can be used as primary surfactant in all cosmetic formulations allowing to maintain the levels of foaming equal to the most famous SLES: the type of foam obtained is extraordinary to the touch and is creamy, fine and stable and is able to gently cleanse while respecting the skin.
Liposine Glyglu/R is configured as a liquid without viscosity easily workable, compatible with the common substances used in cosmetics. It is colorless and odorless, and therefore easy to use.

 

THE MILDNESS OF LIPOSINE GLYGLU/R

In order to measure the gentleness of the surfactant, the product was subjected to an NRU Test with the actual purpose of evaluating the potential for skin/ocular irritation through a cytotoxicity assay on keratinocytes in vitro.
Through the NRU test (or cytotoxicity assay), the damage caused by the test substance to the cell membranes of keratinocytes can be measured. Based on the cytotoxicity of the substance, the skin/ocular irritation potential of the substance can be determined with good approximation. This correlation has been validated by numerous tests in the laboratory and by concordance studies with experimental data obtained in vivo with the same substance.
In order to have reference values, two other surfactants widely used on the market today, such as SODIUM LAURYL ETERE SULFATE and SODIUM COCETH SULFATE, were subjected to the same test.


cell inhibition

From the results (which can be fully consulted after registering below) it is evident how products formulated with only 10%  SLES or SODIUM COCETH SULFATE are strongly irritant.
On the other hand, a product formulated with LIPOSINE GLYLGU/R base with an IC 50 value equal to 3,2 is well outside the limit of Slightly IRRITANT (1,5) and therefore absolutely NOT IRRITANT.

Starting from concentrations of 0.333 mg/ml, in fact, LIPOSINE GLYLGU/R shows a percentage of inhibition less than half that of SODIUM LAURYL ETHER SULFATE and SODIUM COCETH SULFATE, while starting from concentrations of 0.111 mg/ml, no inhibition is measurable when for the other two surfactants the inhibition is still almost total.
In conclusion the tests demonstrate the gentleness and the skin/eye friendliness of the surfactant.

 

THE FOAM OF LIPOSINE GLYGLU/R

Parallel to the dermoaffinity tests, LIPOSINE GLYGLU/R was subjected to tests aimed at verifying the foaming power since it is however necessary that the surfactant correctly and abundantly performs its main function, that is to cleanse.
In order to verify the foaming power of surfactants the products were subjected to a modified ROSS-MILES, where 100 ml of the substance to be examined are poured from a height of 70 cm above the surface of the same solution and then the volume of foam formed is measured, in the immediate time (t0), at a distance of 1 minute (t1) and at 3 minutes (t3).

foaming power

As can be seen from the results, which can be consulted by registering below, the foaming performance of LIPOSINE GLYLGU/R is almost equal to SLES (known on the market as practically the surfactant with the greatest foaming power) at t0 and even higher at t1 and t3.
In other words, the foam of LIPOSINE GLYLGU/R takes much longer to break down where, in the case of a shower gel for example, this means that the foam remains in the bath for much longer.
