MIGLYOL® 8810 ECO – The water-light Feel-Good-Emollient goes green

It’s no secret that the important ozone layer is constantly getting thinner and the protection against harmful UV radiation decreases as a result. Protecting our skin is therefore more important than ever in order to prevent the risk of skin cancer. In addition to the right clothing, primarily sunscreen lotions with a high sun protection factor provide protection.. The formulation of these sun creams is primarily characterized by the use of chemical and synthetic ingredients. With MIGLYOL® 8810 ECO, however, we give your formulation a real ECO boost!

Sunbathing in a hammock looks relaxing but is hard work for our skin. In response to the incoming sunlight, our body produces the tanning pigment melanin and the stratum corneum thickens. Protecting the skin with appropriate clothing and sunscreen are the most important measures to prevent harmful sunburn.

In our blog “MIGLYOL® 8110 – Walking on Sunshine“, we talked about how lightweight formulations with a high SPF are possible. Now we have given our ever-popular water-light feel-good emollient an “ECO” that makes our MIGLYOL® 8810 ECO 100% natural! Because consumer demand for natural ingredients is no longer just a trend, but an expectation.

Give your formulation a true ECO boost!

For the production of one metric ton of MIGLYOL® 8810 ECO, we reduce the CO2 footprint by 40% in direct comparison to MIGLYOL® 8810. With the raw materials from corn, wheat, RSPO MB palm oil and coconut, we achieve a Natural Origin Index (according to ISO 16128) of 1.0 (100% natural). The properties of the product remain unchanged, but the end product is given more naturalness! In detail, the similarities / differences look like this:

MIGLYOL® 8810 ECO now with new data

We commissioned an external laboratory to carry out a series of tests to prove the effectiveness of MIGLYOL® 8110 ECO under controlled conditions. For this purpose, a basic emulsion with 20% MIGLYOL® 8810 ECO without any other additives was examined by means of corneometry. The result confirms that our product achieves the desired performance: the lotion is quickly absorbed by the skin and the skin’s moisture level increases rapidly.

The same formulation was dermatologically examined for its effect on improving skin smoothness. This result also confirms that MIGLYOL® 8810 ECO contributes to improving the skin’s appearance.

Of course, the emotional component of the results is just as important to us. Therefore, a consumer panel survey was finally carried out. Here, too, the result was clear and underpinned the results.
