BACKGROUND OF ARGAN OIL POLYGLYCERYL-6 ESTERS:
Soavirols are formed chemically by esterification of mixture of fatty acids, obtained from vegetal oils, to one or several hydroxyl groups of polyglycerol (Tetraglycerol, Hexaglycerol and Decaglycerol).
Polyglyceryl esters are important non-ionic surfactants with various applications in cosmetic.
In fact Soavirols can be used to emulsify, control viscosity, disperse and stabilize the final mixture.
They can be incorporated into hair styling gels, skin treatment gels, skin cleansers, baby creams, long-acting hand creams, moisturizing sunscreens, and sun-protective sticks.
Because Soavirols consists of natural glycerol and fatty acids, they are highly safe and totally biodegradable.
INFORMATION ABOUT OF ARGAN OIL POLYGLYCERYL-6 ESTERS:
Ingredient on the basis of argan oil (argania spinosa kernel oil).
Argan Oil Polyglyceryl-6 Esters contains polymerised glycerin (as alcoholic component).
The number behind "polyglyceryl-" refers to the average number of glycerin units.
"Ester" or "esters" refers to an esterification product (condensation product of alcohol and acid) or a trans-esterification product obtained through direct reaction of fats (mostly triglycerides) with alcohols.
WHAT IS ARGAN?
Argan, from the Argania Spinosa family, is a spiny tree endemic to Morocco and Algeria.
The oil is extracted by manual pressing of its nut-like fruits.
WHAT ARE ARGAN OIL ESTERS?
An ester is an organic compound obtained through a transesterification reaction (or alcoholysis in this case) of argan oil and polyglycerin 6.
In transesterification, a triglyceride molecule, which is the main component in oil, reacts with an alcohol to separate water, resulting in fatty acid esters and glycerin.
WHAT ARE ARGAN OIL ESTERS USED FOR?
This type of naturally derived ester has various functions.
It can be used as an emollient for the skin, an emulsifier to mix immiscible liquids (such as water and oil), a conditioner to maintain healthy skin, or a surfactant to reduce the surface tension of cosmetics and improve product distribution for a more even application.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION OF ARGAN OIL POLYGLYCERYL-6 ESTERS ON USE IN COSMETICS:
Background information on use in cosmetics
Argan oil (INCI: argania spinosa kernel oil; hydrogenated argania spinosa kernel oil) is a very valuable oil which is obtained from the seeds of the argan tree.
The argan nut contains only approximately two to three seeds of the size of a sunflower kernel, so that the production is very expensive.
Approximately 30 kg of harvested fruits are needed to obtain one litre of argan oil.
The oil is used as foodstuff and remedy and also in cosmetics.
Here it is appreciated, more particularly, because of its caring properties in hair and skincare.
Argan oil contains many unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid.
It helps protect the skin against moisture loss and strengthens skin elasticity.
Moreover, the oil is supposed to have anti-inflammatory properties, so that it is also frequently used for flaky, dry skin tending to be irritated.
In addition, argan oil has a high concentration of antioxidants such as Vitamin E.
In haircare products, the oil prevents hair breakage and secures a nice gloss as well as good combability.
Vegetable oils are characterised by a high share of (poly) unsaturated fatty acids, which are characteristic for the liquid consistency.
As an admixture many vitamins, carotenoids and free fatty acids are present.
Surfactants are so-called detergent substances and have a major significance in cosmetics for the cleansing of the skin and hair.
Surfactants are substances which, based on their molecular structure, are able to reduce the surface tension of a liquid.
In this way it is possible that two actually not mixable substances, such as oil and water, can be finely mixed.
Because of their properties, surfactants have manifold uses in cosmetics: they can cleanse, produce foam and act as emulsifiers and mix substances with one another.
In shampoos, shower gels and soaps, surfactants are, for instance, used to wash fat and soil particles with water off from the body. Surfactants are also used in toothpaste.
Here they promote during tooth cleaning the rapid and full dissolution and distribution of the paste in the mouth.
The surfactants used in cosmetic products are primarily produced synthetically on the basis of vegetable raw materials.
Surfactants are often used in combination to equally meet all desired requirements – like dissolution of soil and formation of foam in combination with a good skin tolerance – in the best possible manner.
Through a skilled combination of a surfactant – viewed on its own – with unfavourable skin tolerance but a very good soil removal property with a very mild, skin protecting surfactant altogether a product with good cleansing properties and the same good skin tolerances is obtained.
Emulsifiers are often used in cosmetics as excipients.
They allow actually unmixable components like oil and water to be brought in a permanently stable emulsion.
In this way both aqueous and oily care and active ingredients can be used in one and the same product in cosmetics.
Emulsifiers are able to do that since their molecules consist of a lipophilic and a hydrophilic part.
In this way they can reduce the interfacial tension which actually exists between two incompatible substances like fat and water.
Emulsifiers are, more particularly, used for creams, lotions and cleansing agents.
At present emulsifiers are, however, more than only excipients which keep an emulsion stable.
Fatty acid esters on the basis of sugar, lecithin or glycerin monodistearate contribute, for instance, to improving the moisture balance of the skin and are, therefore, also considered as cosmetic active ingredients.
