Versatile esters

Available from Zschimmer & Schwarz are PROTELAN PCA-Esters which combine active ingredient properties with emollient effect to form multifunctional, oil soluble cosmetic raw materials.

Depending on fatty alcohol chain length and degree of branching they show interesting effects in special formulations, such as those for improvement of skin and hair moisture, reduction of stickiness in lip-gloss, and increase of water resistance in sun care formulations, and also coemulsification properties.

PROTELAN PCA-Esters can be used in a variety of leave-on and rinse-off formulations such as emulsions and personal wash products. However, their main field of application is in water-free systems. The performance of body and baby oils, sun protection oils, hair oils, silicon based shine sprays for hair, make-up formulations and other products can be optimised and significantly improved via the incorporation of PROTELAN PCA-Esters.
