SOFTISAN® PG2 C10 – The game changer with a soft touch

The search for the next trend and highlight in the cosmetics industry is our stimulus. Of course, a wow effect is a must. With SOFTISAN® PG2 C10, we have an ingredient in our portfolio that can change everything.

Just imagine, the concept for the formulation of a rich and nourishing cream is created and a catchy name has also been found. The packaging from the graphics department promises long-lasting care with a WOW effect. But the consumer tests show a different picture. The product is found to be too waxy, too difficult to apply on the skin, and time is running out …

SOFTISAN® PG2 C10 is made from rapeseed, sunflower and castor oil, among other things, and corresponds to the INCI “Polyglyceryl-2 Caprate”. Like our two products SOFTISAN® 378 and WITARIX® MCT C8, SOFITSAN® PG2 C10 also transforms your formulation. Already 1 – 2 % lead to softer emulsions, changed texture and different pick-up.

For tests, we enriched a cream with 2 % SOFTISAN® PG2 C10 and compared it with a placebo cream. The creams were each applied to the forearm and evaluated during and after application.

Result – SOFTISAN® PG2 C10 leads to:

• higher spreadability
• less waxy sensory property
• significantly improved „Soft-Touch-Feeling“
• higher overall acceptance
• Scale: 0 (low) – 7 (high)

SOFTISAN® PG2 C10 has an antibacterial effect

*against gram positive Bacteria

SOFTISAN® PG2 C10 has a mild antibacterial effect and is therefore also suitable for deodorants. Our ingredient works differently than aluminium for antiperspirants and does not block the pores but counteracts the formation of the unpleasant odour. Fresh sweat has a neutral smell; the typical odour is only caused by bacteria (such as Gram+ Corynebacterium xerosis), which break down the odourless sweat into odour-intensive molecules. With SOFTISAN® PG2 C10, natural deodorants can be formulated apart from the well-known actives (e.g., ACH).

Method:
Minimalist roll-on deodorant formulation with 0.5 % SOFTISAN® PG2 C10
Tested against Corynebacterium xerosis

Result:
SOFTISAN® PG2 C10 is effective against C. xerosis, which is responsible for the unpleasant smell.
