The skin is the body’s outermost defense mechanism, therefore keeping it healthy is crucial. Cosmetic and personal care products primarily affect the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of the skin. Skin irritation can lead to red or itchy skin. Here, skin redness is a symptom of a disrupted skin barrier, which can be caused by contact with botanical materials, airborne chemicals, shaving, or UV exposure. Here, company Floratech, USA developed its unique Floraesters® to reduce skin redness.
Floraesters® (INCI: Jojoba Esters) are unique, oil-free emollients derived from jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis) and have been used in cosmetics and personal care products for more than 30 years.
Floraesters® deliver a luxurious skin feel in many textures: from liquid to soft paste to hard wax and increase the hydration and improve the skin barrier function in many products as creams, lotions, balms, masks, lipsticks, antiperspirants, sun care and hair care.
Floraesters® enhance the properties of color cosmetics by improving coverage and payout. They can also extend the shelf-life of finished formulations by enhancing the oxidative stability, even in the presence of known oxidizers.
Floraesters® combine nature and innovation, providing benefits of hydration, strength and protection to enhance cosmetic and personal care products.
Floraesters® enhance: Floresters® reduce:
• Appearance of Healthy Skin • Skin dryness
• Skin hydration • Skin redness
• Skin barrier recovery • Skin roughness
Floraesters® 20, 30, and 60 are interesterified (not partially-hydrogenated) jojoba oil and jojoba wax, and Florasters K-100 Jojoba is hydrolysed jojoba oil.
Floraesters® 20, 30, and 60 range from a soft to firm paste, are occlusive in nature, and can be added to emulsion systems to provide body and structure. Floraesters K-100 Jojoba is viscous gel that is utilized to provide water, wear, and transfer resistance to finished formulas. It also traps small molecules like glycerin and glycolic acid at the skin’s surface, which allows these molecules to function longer.
