Symrise expands its portfolio of cooling substances with the patented Frescolat X-cool. The active ingredient gives skin care products a long-lasting cooling effect.
With Frescolat X-cool, Symrise has brought a substance to the market that fulfills consumers’ demand for refreshing and gentle cosmetics. It improves the sensory effects of products for hair, face, and personal care as well as sun protection and shaving. On the one hand, it works quickly – refreshing the skin immediately after application. On the other hand, the effect can last up to 30 minutes. And Frescolat X-cool feels comfortable and is safe for skin. It is odourless and especially suited for formulas with pH values from four to seven. “Consumers today expect intense refreshment and care from their vitalising cosmetics,” says Cécile Kalem, global product director cosmetic ingredients, Symrise Paris. “Demand for products with refreshing effects has been increasing globally for years. North Americans link the cooling sensation with health, Asians connect it with purity, and Europeans with skinfirming effects. Frescolat X-cool therefore offers our customers numerous possibilities for new product concepts.”
