New Products
IGI introduces a set of replacement products for mineral
oils called IGI Lipid Oils. IGI Lipid Oils are natural
vegetable oil replacements for mineral oils in cosmetic
applications. They have been developed to give similar
viscosity profiles in creams and lotions. IGI Lipid Oils
have high amounts of saturated fatty acids in their
profile to provide similar skin feel properties to mineral
oils.
IGI launches a new natural based vegetable derived
petrolatum replacement called Sebapet. Sebapet mimics
the fatty acids and esters found in natural skin sebum.
Sebapet uses specifically selected vegetable oils and
natural thickeners to make a product which can be used
in applications where the moisturizing properties of
petrolatum are required but a vegetable source is
necessary. Sebapet will find applications in creams,
lotions, lip care products, body washes and may other
applications where its occlusive properties can benefit
the formulation.
IGI's latest addition to our line of products is Synthetic Beeswax. IGI Synthetic Beeswax is formulated to replace beeswax in formulations where emulision stability is important. IGI Synthetic Beeswax will provide emollent skin feel as well as good pay off in lip sticks and lip blams.
IGI has developed a repalcement for plant based Candelilla Wax. IGI Synthetic Candelilla Wax has all the properities of Candelilla Wax but without the resin. IGI Synthetic Candelilla Wax will give structure and gloss to lipsticks formulations.
IGI ISO-Polymers are highly branched polymers that can be used as gelling agents and film formers. Their unique combination of high molecular weight and low melting points make them suitable for numerous cosmetic applications.
IGI introduces new hybrid petrolatum. IGI Hybrid Petrolatums are the newest innovation from our applications chemists. They have come up with the best of both worlds. They have taken the best qualities of petrolatum and combined it with a vegetable source. The resulting eco-friendly products are Hybrid Petrolatums which have significantly different esthetics than conventional petrolatums.
