The Digital Lab - Formulations

This stick formula hard texture is possible thanks to a mix of two oil thickening polymers : Estogel® M which brings strength and Estogel® Green which brings elasticity. The oil phase is enriched with Sabosoft NSIL MB, a multifunctional active emollient oil for a full repair and protection, combined to JD Lusteris™ which maintains the natural hydro-lipid skin barrier. Sustane™ SAIB Food Grade is added as a film former enabling an even application of the stick. MH Safran Pétales 5% CBIO TCOS and Safflower PhytPeel Petals were added to give this stick an oriental aesthetic aspect fitting with the fragrance. Eastman GEM™ Retinyl Sunflowerate and Lift Oléoactif® were added as anti-ageing actives, whereas Blush Oléoactif® is used as a skin enhancer boosting positive self-perception.

This formula showcases a new way of providing a little oil phase in a water based gel without the help of an emulsifier nor a solubilizer. Indeed, the oil droplets are effectively suspended into the clear gel thanks to the thickener used SAFIC' Care T XG Clear P, giving this unusual nice visual.

The honey-like texture of this transparent serum is obtained through the use of SAFIC’ Care T A 80-400. Cekol® 2000 A acts as a texture enhancer with a unique sensorial profile. ElfaMoist® AC Humectant helps to provide longlasting moisturisation and MandarinClear HS brings clarity and shine from within. Nutecyl™ MB is a DNA protection peptide with an anti-glycation activity, while Defensyl™ MB is a skin strengthening peptide with antiinflammation properties.
