Benefits

  • If the GreenDiol content is below 20%, molecular alignment takes too long, preventing the formation of the sherbet texture.
  • A higher polyol content results in a finer, smoother sherbet-like formulation.
  • A transforming formulation that shifts from a conventional gel-cream into a sherbet texture upon freezing.
  • The transition into a sherbet texture provides an instant cooling effect to lower skin temperature.

GreenDiol (BASF)

  • Features a symmetrical molecular structure with hydroxyl (OH) groups at positions 2 and 3, enabling an ordered molecular alignment to create the sherbet texture.
  • Exhibits excellent solubility for madecassoside and salicylic acid, helping to prevent precipitation and improve overall formulation stability.
  • Provides exceptional moisture retention, holding 3 times more water compared to 1,3-Butylene Glycol (1,3-BG).
  • Highly effective for soothing and reducing skin redness compared to other polyols.

Emulgade Verde 10MS (BASF)

  • A liquid crystal emulsifier that aids in forming a Lyotropic Liquid Crystal (LLC) structure, mimicking the skin barrier configuration.
  • Stabilizes the formulation by developing a lamellar gel network structure.
  • Increasing the concentration allows for high-viscosity development and finer emulsified particle sizes.
