As of July 2016, Brenntag UK & Ireland has been appointed as a distribution partner of Stephenson Group for their Durosoft range of patent pending emulsifiers.
The emulsifiers use naturally-derived polyglycerol esters to produce ingredients for creams, lotions and foaming oil-based formulations offering specific value to producers of cold process products for sustainable raw material claims.
The unique patent-pending technology provides a wide HLB range of 4-14 for a greater stability profile. Lucy Simmonds, technical business manager, Stephenson Group, said: “Durosoft can be cold processed, which creates a number of benefits for the personal care and cosmetics formulator – from achieving tighter energy standards through to reduced energy consumption - as they seek to meet key product performance criteria and improve the sustainability of their business.”
The Durosoft range enhances Brenntag UK & Ireland's rapidly expanding portfolio of specialty cosmetics ingredients which include ultra mild surfactants, preservatives, silicones, chelates, novel fragrances, oils, texturing ingredients, emollients and pigments.
Nicola Boulter, commercial director (Specialties) Brenntag UK & Ireland, said: "We are delighted to form an alliance with Stephenson Group on their unique range of personal care emulsifiers, bringing together the expertise, infrastructure and creative innovations capabilities of Brenntag’s team and the technical advances of Stephenson Group. We look forward to further developing relationships with our existing and new customers, meeting the needs of their formulation requirements and generating new product development projects".
