Possible applications
EMOGREEN™ are non-oxidisable, stable, highly pure, inert and non-comedogenic... and therefore versatile. Emogreen™ are not only easy to incorporate into formulations because they are very liquid and thanks to their transparency, but they are also compatible with all types of oil phases (vegetable oils, esters, silicone oils, mineral oils...). Moreover, we have carried out numerous tests proving that Emogreen™ can be used for all cosmetic applications (skincare, hair care, sun care, make-up, cleansing, etc.). We describe these in more detail below:
Hair care
The nourishing leave-on conditioner has been formulated according to COSMOS Natural rules. It nourishes your hair without weighing it down. This formulation can be applied to wet, well-wrung or dry hair and ensures that your hair remains shiny and silky. EMOGREEN™ L15 makes it easier to apply the product to the strands and protects them from external aggressions.
Cosmos Leave-on Conditioner
This conditioning oil is a refined blend of marine-based active ingredients and natural oils to protect and enhance your hair! EMOGREEN™ L15 strengthens the capillary structure and brings shine.
Natural hair care oil
The effect of EMOGREEN™ L15 in hair care products has been proven in various tests: It improves shine, protects the hair fibre, including from repeated mechanical stress, provides heat protection up to 220°C, offers Volume&Frizz control and improves both wet and dry combability. All tests were carried out in comparison with different silicones.
Skin and body care
This multifunctional moisturiser was developed according to the COSMOS NATURAL standard and uses ingredients from by-products of industrial manufacturing processes. EMOGREEN™ L15 combined with LANOL 2681 provides a light and non-greasy skin feel. This combination gives a unique gliding sensation and a powdery and soft finish.
WeLL: Waste Less Lotion (Cosmos)
On contact with the skin, this natural marine body cream gel becomes truly watery, like a wave of freshness flooding your body! EMOGREEN™ L15, an efficient alternative to silicone oils, brings ease of application and leaves a soft, powdery finish.
Natural Marine Body Cream Gel
The EMOGREEN™ range has particularly good spreadability, making it easier to spread emulsions. Sensory panel evaluations show a characteristic powdery finish that feels slippery and fresh after application, similar to Cyclopentasiloxane & Cyclohexasiloxane. EMOGREEN™ L15 has the fastest reduction in shine and imparts a matte finish comparable to isododecane and isohexadecane and is suitable for an instant matte effect on the skin.
Skin care - focus on very dry and sensitive skin
This hand cream is an excellent moisturiser and protector for the skin thanks to EMOGREEN™ L19 and 20% shea butter. It repairs even the most damaged hands. EMOGREEN™ L19 facilitates the application of the hand cream by bringing good glide.
"My Iconic Hand Cream"
In-vivo studies show that EMOGREEN™ L19 improves the appearance of very dry skin and shows a significant firming effect after 1 and 6 hours after a single application.
Another in vivo study provides information on the evaluation of the skin microbiota. The EMOGREEN™ L19 formulation increases the population of 3 genera (Staphylococcus, Cutibacterium and Corynebacterium), favouring a restored hydrolipidic film, the first step in improving skin hydration. Note: the balance between Staphylococcus species remains unchanged for the healthiest skin possible.
Another in vivo clinical study shows the visible improvement of the skin barrier. The EMOGREEN™ L19 formulation shows a significant effect on improving the hydration aspect of the skin (+10%*), softness (+15%*) and smoothness (+11%*) after 28 days. The EMOGREEN™ L19 formulation is highly appreciated: 91% of the study participants felt a decrease in skin discomfort after 28 days of treatment.
EMOGREEN™ L19 and bisabolol create a synergy for a restructuring effect (+8%*): the combination of these two ingredients enhances the formula's repairing effect!
Sun care
Our Protect-up is a mineral sun care formulation developed with COSMOS approved ingredients, with a non-greasy, fresh and gliding skin feel! Thanks to EMOGREEN™ L19, sun filters are well dispersed and the stickiness of sunscreen filters is minimised!
"natural, mineral sun care"
EMOGREEN™ shows very good dispersing properties and increases the stability of formulations with inorganic as well as organic sunscreen filters. EMOGREEN™ can replace C12-15 alkyl benzoates without affecting the sensory properties or SPF.
An anti-sand claim is also possible: internal tests confirm that the formulas containing EMOGREEN™ have the same results as the market benchmark claiming an anti-sand effect!
Make-up
This natural O/W foundation unifies the complexion thanks to a high content of hydrophilic pigments. EMOGREEN™ L15 provides a good glide and a pleasant powdery afterfeel that increases skin affinity.
