A facial cleanser needs to remove impurities and make-up residue. But the formulator\u2019s work does not end there. The product also needs to feel pleasant on the skin, meet the intended mildness requirements and have characteristics suited to its format, whether a micellar water, gel or make-up remover. Choosing the surfactant system is therefore one of the most important steps in development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reschem Italia presents DIMERECO\u00ae ZL 10 as an ingredient to consider for these applications. It is a patented dimeric surfactant described in product communications as plant-derived and highly biodegradable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The stated characteristics include a critical micelle concentration (CMC) up to ten times lower than that of certain conventional surfactants and the ability to remove make-up even at low concentrations. These are useful starting points for testing, provided the comparison materials and conditions under which the results were obtained are taken into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A low CMC alone does not establish how the finished product will perform. Performance depends on the complete composition and intended use. This is why development should start with the technical documentation and include laboratory tests of cleansing performance, compatibility and sensory properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The information shared by Reschem also refers to a mildness profile for skin and eyes, compatibility with different surfactant systems, and effects on foaming, clarity and emulsifying behaviour. These properties are particularly relevant to micellar waters, clear gels and make-up removers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reschem Italia\u2019s Personal Care team can provide further technical information and help arrange sample requests. The final assessment must be carried out on the complete formulation: that is where it becomes clear whether the ingredient meets the project\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
