ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Active ingredients (or cosmetceuticals) are the essence of many skin
care products; turning them from simple formulas to effective, fuctional
and drug-like products. Typically such ingredients include vitamins,
botanicals, enzymes and peptides. These ingredients provide various
functions such as wrinkle and aging prevention, soothing and antiinammatory effects as well as skin-lightening and skin regenerating
benets.
A predominant group of active ingredients include anti-aging ingredients.
In general, these products slow down degenerative processes as they
occur in the aging skin and at the same time stimulate regenerative
processes including: production of collagen, prevention of water loss,
replenishing the skin with natural lipids, maintenance of the skin cell
homeostasis and prevention of oxidant degeneration.

CAS: 9067-32-7 INCI Name: Sodium hyaluronic acid Properties: Most powerful moisturizer & humectant known to date. Provides smoothness & softening to the
skin. Can reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Ideal ingredient after skin peels. Use: Typically used at 0.1-2%. Hyaluronic acid is not readily soluble in water as
it binds water very quickly forming a gel. Hyaluronic acid needs to be carefully sprinkled into the water under constant high-speed stirring (preferably with a
hand mixer or vortex mixer). The mixture then starts thickening quickly and becomes a gel. At this point no additional hyaluronic acid can be added as there
is no water left for hyaluronic acid to be dissolved in (additional hyaluronic acid would only form lumps). Applications: Hydrating gels, moisturizing creams &
lotions, anti-aging & anti-wrinkle products, pre/after sun lotions, protecting / nourishing & moisturizing skin care products, products for sensitive or dry skin.

CAS: 9067-32-7 INCI Name: Sodium hyaluronic acid Properties: One of the most powerful humectants known, provides smoothness & softening to the skin,
excellent anti-wrinkle eects, ideal ingredient after peelings, soothes irritated skin. Due to the much smaller molecular size of the molecule compared to
regular hyaluronic acid, skin penetration is better. Use: Typically used at 0.1-10%, a higher percentage is possible because the low-molecular weight HA
does not gel like the HMW-Hyaluronic acid. It may still clump and therefore needs to be mixed very well. Adding some glycerin or using a high-shear mixer
is recommended to avoid clumping. The consistency of the powder is less uy than compared to the regular high molecular hyaluronic acid. There is no
thickening eect like with the high molecular hyaluronic acid, making a higher concentration easier to deal with. Applications: Hydrating, moisturizing creams
& lotions, anti-aging & anti-wrinkle products, pre/after sun lotions, protecting / nourishing & moisturizing skin care products, products for sensitive or dry skin.

Antioxidants
Antioxidants are very useful active ingredients for the manufacturing of cosmetics. Generally, anxiodiants interrupt oxidation reactions
and prevent the effects of oxygen radicals (e.g. peroxides) which are known to damage the integrity and function of various natural
substances. Antioxidants are useful in preventing degradation of natural ingredients (proteins, sugars, lipids) in the cosmetic product as
well as protecting the skin cells from being damaged and slowing down the aging process. Antioxidants have been shown to boost the
skins radiance, minimize age spots, sun spots and ne lines.

Humectants (or moisturizers) are important cosmetic ingredients that prevent the loss of moisture, thereby retaining the skins natural
moisture. Some compounds also have the ability to actively attract moisture. Humectants are key ingredients in most skin care products
but are also often used in hair care products to volumize the hair by attracting moisture which expands the hair shaft. There is a large
variety of different compounds providing moisturizing effects including proteins, acids, polysaccharides, and various small molecules (e.g.
glycerine, sorbitol, urea, aloe vera etc.).

Proteins
Proteins are widely used active ingredients in both skin and hair care products. Their main benets include moisturizing and conditioning
as well as having excellent lm-forming properties. To make proteins suitable to be incorporated into water based cosmetic products they
need to be converted into soluable form. This is usually done by hydrolyzation (a process where the protein is cut into smaller parts).
Proteins that are most often used include collagen, elastin, keratin, milk and silk (from silkworms) but also vegetable proteins such as
wheat and corn gluten, soy, rice and oat protein. Soy proteins are also useful due to their gelling and emulsifying effects.

Self-Tanners
According to the American Academy of Dermatology the most effective sunless tanning product available today is dihydroxyacetone
(DHA). As the colorless sugar interacts with the dead skin cells located in the outer layer of the epidermis, a color change occurs which
usually lasts about seven to ten days after the initial application. Self-tanners should not be confused with bronzers which can be found
in powder or cream form and, unlike self-tanners, can be instantly removed with soap and water. Erythrulose is another self-tanning
agent that produces (in combination with DHA) a natural, deep & even tan without stripes. Using DHA alone may create an orange tone
& stripes. Erythrulose prolongs the tan & leaves the skin less dry.

Skin-Lightening Agents
Skin may appear darker than normal and may be blotchy, have uneven areas or patches of brown to gray discoloration or freckling.
Skin pigmentation disorders occur because the body produces either too much or too little melanin (skin pigment). Increased melanin
production, known as hyperpigmentation, is often referred to as melasma (general term describing darkening of the skin), chloasma
(discolorations caused by hormones) or solar lentigines (darkened spots caused by the sun). In addition, hyperpigmentation can be
caused by skin damage, such as remnants of blemishes, wounds or rashes. Skin-lighteners inhibit enzymes or other key components in
the melanin synthesis. Many treatments use a combination of melanin-inhibiting ingredients along with a sunscreen and a prescription
retinoid. Depending on how the skin responds to these treatments, exfoliants may also be used either in the form of topical cosmetics or
chemical peels. Since the production of melanin is suppressed only as long as the enzymes are inhibited, skin cells will eventually resume
producing and depositing melanin pigments once treatment with skin-lighteners has been stopped.

BASES
Bases are prefabricated, standardized mixtures of basic
ingredients for making cosmetic products in an easy and fast
way. With bases you dont need to formulate a product from
scratch but only need to add your favorite colors, fragrances
or other ingredients of your choice and your product is
complete. The cream bases are formulated specically to
allow the addition of additional active ingredients so that
the cream does not separate. However, we recommend not
to exceed a total of 15% (weight percentage) of additional
ingredients, otherwise the base becomes very thin. If you
still want to add more (up to 20% or even 25%) youd have
to add a thickening emulsier like GelMaker EMU to prevent
the base from separating and getting too thin.

Conditioners
Conditioners are special surfactants (quaternary ammonium compounds) carrying positive electrical charges, thereby
neutralizing the negative charges of the hair that occur especially on areas where there is weathering. The effect is a
reduction of static electricity on the hair and the y away associated with it. Not only does this improve the shine and luster
of the hair, the change in the hair surface enhances the depth and life of the hair color as well. Conditioners also improve
detangling and combing the hair, both wet and dry. Proteins in conditioners are able to repair damaged or permed hair by
relling shed cuticle scales.

Exfoliants
Exfoliants (or abrasives) are compounds able to slough away the top layer of dead epidermis cells of the skin, thereby leaving the skin to
appear smoother, fresher and less wrinkled (peelings). The result of exfoliation is to promote blood circulation in the skin and to increase
the turnover of surface skin cells. Exfoliation can be achieved either mechanically by scrubbing the skin with cleansers containing small,
hard particles (scrubs) or chemically by applying cleansers containing active ingredients with a peeling effect (e.g. alpha-hydroxy acids,
beta-hydroxy acids and others).
Please note: We do not support/sell polyethylene micro beads as they cause irreparable damage to the oceans: sewage and waste water
treatment plants cannot lter out these tiny particles so they are pumped straight into water courses and end up in the ocean. Marine
species mistake the beads for their natural food and ingest them, leading to a dangerous concentration of harmful plastic components
and environmental toxins in their stomachs. These species are part of the human food chain.

Surfactants
Based on their cleansing power, surfactants are classied into primary and secondary surfactants (co-surfactants), while the chemical
structure determines whether they are anionic, amphoteric, non-ionic or quaternary agents. The primary surfactants are the key
components in shampoos responsible for foam and cleansing. The low-foaming co-surfactants such as cocoamidopropyl betaine or
sulfosuccinate are used to reduce the irritant (eye burning) and drying effect of the primary surfactants.

Pigment Blends
Our pigment blends are a mixture of different iron oxides such as iron oxide yellow, red, brown, black and titanium dioxide. These blends
are typically used in foundations and face powders. When further mixed with mica pigments and other cosmetic colors, however, these
blends can also be used for making lipstick, lip gloss, eye shadow, blush and lip liner pencils. Many more shades can be created by
adding titanium dioxide, more of the various iron oxides, or simply by blending the different pigment blends with each other. When the
pigment blends are used to make liquid foundation they need to be well dispersed in an emollient using a mortar and pestle. Only then
the colors will develop fully. Likewise, for making powder mineral foundation the pigment blends need to be blended with mineral llers
using a mortar and pestle.

EMOLLIENTS
Emollience can be dened as the phenomenon perceived form that
the smoothing and softening effect a substance is able to create by
reducing skin roughness and enhancing the moisture content of the
skin. Emollience and moisturization, therefore, are properties which
go hand-in-hand. Emollience, however, is not only a moisturizer, it can
also measure skin topography and elasticity. Thus, emollients are very
important ingredients for formulating skin care products. There are a large
variety of both natural and synthetic emollients available including oils,
butters, silicones, hydrocarbons and others. Many of them also possess
superfatting, emulsifying and thickening properties.
Natural Butters
There are several kinds of natural (vegetable) butters which are extracted from various plants, trees, roots or seeds. They all consist of
solid or semi-solid fat oils (i.e. they remain solid at room temperature) making them excellent emollients, softeners and protecting agents.
Their composition of oils, fatty acids and active ingredients, however, is quite different so that each butter has different properties as, for
example, anti-inammatory, soothing, moisturizing or antioxidant activities.

EMULSIFIERS
Emulsiers are used in creams and lotions to mix water with oils. Since water and
oil do not mix but stay separated, an additional agent (emulsier) is necessary to
form a homogenous mixture keeping water and oil together. There are 2 types of
emulsiers. Oil-in-water (o/w) emulsiers keep oil drops packed in water, while
water-in-oil (w/o) emulsiers keep water drops packed in oil. W/O emulsiers
are used for a fatty feel (e.g night & sun protection creams). O/W emulsiers are
used more in moisturizing products (e.g. body lotions, day creams).

Fragrances
Our fragrances are components of the highest quality ingredients available and are produced and designed especially for personal care
and cosmetic products. Most fragrances are a blend of natural oils and specic aroma compounds which make it possible to create stable
fragrances and scents. All fragrances can be used in practically all personal care products. They are strictly undiluted, full-strength oils
or water-based mixtures that have not been cut with solvents. This allows you to use much less fragrance in your product. The level of
fragrance you will need to use varies according to the product type and what youre trying to produce: Typically, a face cream may contain
only 0.01% fragrance by weight, while a soap bar might range from 0.5-3.0% fragrance.

SUNSCREENS
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to produce erythema and pigmentation
on the skin. When directly exposed to the sun, there is 10 to 100 times
more exposure of UVA than UVB. UVB (considered the Burning Ray)
has an immediate, harmful impact on the skin within minutes. UVA
(considered the Aging Ray), which you do not feel, has been shown to
damage the skin by penetrating deeply into the dermis which has the
ability of producing premature aging, wrinkles and tumors.
Sunscreens are inactive ingredients that assist in avoiding chemical
or physical UV radiations (UVA and UVB) penetrating the skin layers.
Chemical sunscreens act by absorbing UV-light. Physical sunscreens
reect or scatter light in both the visible and UV-spectrum. Effectiveness
of sunscreens depends upon their UV-absorption, concentration,
formulation, and ability to withstand swimming or sweating.

THICKENERS
Thickeners enhance the consistency, volume and
viscosity of cosmetic products and provide more
stability and better performance. Some thickeners
also have emulsifying or gelling properties but the
majority of thickeners retain water on the skin and
act as moisturizers. Thickeners can be completely
natural like waxes but also synthetic or semisynthetic. They are derived from various sources
and consist of very different molecular structures
including polysaccharides, proteins, alcohols,
silicones or waxes.
