Symrise has introduced a new PEG-free solubiliser – SymSol PF-3. 

The company has applied for a patent on the material which can be used to solubilise lipophilic substances, such as perfume and essential oils, actives and vitamins in pure aqueous and aqueous alcoholic product formulations.
But Symrise says SYMSOL PF-3 is more than just a PEG-free solubiliser, recommending it for many kinds of fragrance, hair or body care applications.
SYMSOL PF-3 is said to allow a clear solution of oil soluble substances in pure aqueous and aqueous alcoholic product formulations.

SYMSOL PF-3 can also be used as an emulsifier or co-emulsifier in o/w formulations, says Symrise.
In comparison to PEG-containing products SYMSOL PF-3 is claimed to show excellent solubilising performance while excelling against other PEG-free solubilisers on cost efficiency, colour and odour.

Recommended for use in hair and body care products as well as gels, wet wipes, after shaves and fragrances, SYMSOL PF-3 is recommended for use at levels of up to 5% in rinse-off products and up to 3% in leave-on products.
The proper incorporation of oil-soluble actives or botanicals is key for their performance. 
Achieving a clear formulation can become a challenge when formulating aqueous or hydroalcoholic products. 

Solubilization of fragrances in aqueous based cosmetic products is a prerequisite for a stable formulation. 
SYMSOL PF-3 solubilizers are optimized blends of amphiphilic substances giving synergistic solubilizing efficacy.
On a market largely dominated by polyethoxylated solubilizers, SYMSOL PF-3 innovates by launching a PEG-free compound. 

The material, Symsol PF-3, is a mixture in pentylene glycol and water of several anionic surfactants chosen for their excellent tolerance.
Products performances are up to the requirements of formulators. 
In addition to being liquid, odourless, colourless, of allowing the solubilisation of a wide range of lipophilic compounds (perfume, essential oils, active ingredients, vitamins,...), SYMSOL PF-3 enables to formulate transparent products. 

The Suggested use levels of 3 to 5% are also slightly lower than those of market benchmarks such as the PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil used between 5 and 10%.
SYMSOL PF-3 is an novel product that can only delight supporters of PEG free products. 
With the market showing that their number was increasing by the day.

A widely-used type of personal care formulations are emulsions found in skin care, sun care, body care and color cosmetics. 
Emulsifiers are the most important ingredients in order to guarantee stable emulsions.
Beyond this basic requirement, emulsifiers have a remarkable influence on the sensorial skin feel depending on their composition and the way they are formulated. 

By changing the emulsifier, the formulator can tailor attributes like texture, appearance, pick-up and the distribution of an emulsion.
