Certified Natural Ingredients range
Certified Natural Ingredients range www.infinity-ingredients.co.uk Certified Natural Ingredients Range As the drive for natural, organic and certified organic products continues, we are proud to offer the following diverse materials for consideration when formulating within this category. Consumers are becoming ever savvier within this market sector, with demands for socially and responsibly sourced materials from renewable and sustainable sources. Recyclable packaging, low carbon footprint, Fair Trade and free-from claims continue along with the requirement for performance and price to be similar to synthetic versions. A tall order we know, but we are here to offer you inspiration from our range of effective actives and functional materials that fall within this category. Please check with us on an individual basis for compliance. www.infinity-ingredients.co.uk Certified Amisol™ Soft (INCI: Behenyl Alcohol (and) Glyceryl Stearate (and) Lecithin (and) Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols) is an optimised blend of Phospholipids, Phytosterols and vegetable Lipids which forms lamellar O/W emulsions for soft applications. This Biomimetic structure is particularly suitable for sensitive or stressed skins. Amisol™ Soft maintains the protective function of the Stratum corneum, reduces TEWL and optimises hydration. Ideal for sensitive skin, baby, sun care and make-up applications. Recommended use level: 3 - 6% Amisol Trio™ (INCI: Phospholipids (and) Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil (and) Glycolipids (and) Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols). An eco-friendly active biolipid complex, extracted from Soybean, ideal for sensitive and delicate skin and hair. Amisol Trio™ is composed of essential Biolipids present in each cell membrane, such as Phospholipids, Glycolipids, Phytosterols and Vitamin F (Linoleic acid). It provides super-fatting properties, offers protection and improves the moisture balance of the hair and the skin (even in rinse-off applications). Amisol Trio™ also nourishes nails. Recommended usage level: 0.5 - 1.5% Biophilic™ (INCI: BIOPHILIC™ H: Hydrogenated Lecithin (and) C12-16 Alcohols (and) Palmitic Acid; BIOPHILIC™ S: Lecithin (and) C12-16 Alcohols (and) Palmitic Acid). A patented natural lamellar O/W system based on the emulsifying properties of Phospholipids combined with other vegetable Lipids.
