New emulsifier from Lubrizol

Lubrizol Life Science – Beauty has introduces PemuPur Start polymer, a naturally derived polymeric emulsifier for skin and sun care applications

Lubrizol Life Science – Beauty has introduces PemuPur Start polymer, a naturally derived polymeric emulsifier for skin and sun care applications. This takes its name from ‘stability’ and ‘refreshing texture’, combining being naturally derived with a refreshing sensory experience.

“These characteristics, coupled with its limited surface activity, make it ideal for creating mild, fluid and sprayable emulsions suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin,” the company said.

PemuPur Start polymer is claimed to provide excellent emulsion stabilisation at low (0.5-1.0wt%) use levels and up to 50% oil content, limiting the need for co-emulsifiers. It has a Renewable Carbon Index of 0.96, according to ISO 16128 and is readily biodegradable (OECD 301F).
