Olivoil Glutamate LW

Olivoil Glutamate LW is a vegetable derived anionic surfactant concentrated in glycerin, able to build dermo-compatible cleansers and rinse off products, working as a new generation “surf-active”. It is composed of active ingredients as olive oil fatty acids (containing skin friendly unsaturated fatty acids, among which oleic and linoleic acid) and glutamic acid (among the most abundant aminoacid of hair keratin and physiologically found on the skin), able to provide a gentle and effective cleansing action, skin emolliency and barrier function restoring to promote a long lasting hydration and keep the homeostasis of the hydrolipidic film, even when used in presence of sulfates/sulfonates. Ideal for hair care applications, too. Olivoil surfactants can be used both as primary and secondary surfactants and are ideal for the development of transparent end-products for sensitive skin, baby care, hair care and many other rinse-off applications, with an important impact on eco-sustainability given by their water saving features and suitability for plastic-free, waste reduction and refillable applications.

Olivoil PCA FoKSNaB

Olivoil PCA is a vegetable derived anionic lipo-aminoacid able to promote a unique dermo-compatible moisturizing and emollient action. It is composed of active ingredients as olive oil fatty acids (containing skin friendly unsaturated fatty acids, among which oleic and linoleic acid) and PCA (among the main components of skin NMF), able to provide a gentle and effective cleansing action, skin emolliency and barrier function restoring to promote a long lasting hydration and keep the homeostasis of the hydrolipidic film. Olivoil PCA can be used in both leave on and rinse off applications, providing in both cases the skin with a unique silicon like texture, despite a totally vegetable derived composition, with an important impact on eco-sustainability (“water saving” features, derivation from renewable sources etc.).

Olivoil Surfactant FoKSNaB

Olivoil Surfactant is a vegetable derived anionic surfactant able to build dermo-compatible cleansers and rinse off products. It is composed of active ingredients as olive oil fatty acids (containing skin friendly unsaturated fatty acids, among which oleic and linoleic acid) and vegetable polypeptides, able to provide a gentle and effective cleansing action, skin emolliency and barrier function restoring to promote a long lasting hydration and keep the homeostasis of the hydrolipidic film, even when used in presence of sulfates/sulfonates. Proven efficacy in terms of hair shaft protection. Olivoil surfactants can be used both as primary and secondary surfactants (benefits were proven even at very low amount of use, starting from 2%) and are ideal for the development of transparent end-products for sensitive skin, baby care, hair care and many other rinse-off applications.

Rice Milk PE

Natura-Tec Rice Milk, extracted through a high-pressure process for ultimate purity, harnesses the full range of beneficial components found in rice plants, including essential fatty acids, phytosterols, vitamins A and E, ferulic acid, gamma oryzanol, and essential amino acids. This unique formulation combines both water-soluble and lipid-soluble elements, synergistically promoting skin and hair regeneration. With its high concentration of medium molecular weight polysaccharides, it facilitates the creation of conditioning emulsions. Rice Milk is GMO and gluten-free, acting as a superb moisturizer that calms the skin and leaves a luxurious velvety texture. Its rich composition also provides protective and anti-aging effects by reducing free radical formation. Additionally, it easily integrates into bath, shower, and shaving products, alleviating dryness and irritation while maintaining foam quality. In hair care, it enhances manageability, shine, strength, and volume due to its vitamin and colloidal polysaccharide content. This versatile ingredient finds applications in shower products, skin care, and hair care formulations, offering a wide range of benefits for various cosmetic products.
