– Does the aqueous phase need to be made from H2O? –
GREENTECH presents a new range of pure waters coming from Glaciers, Volcanos or tropical and local fruits during this year´s SEPAWA. Ideal for replacing part of the water in the aqueous phase in order to give the formulation a modern twist or to increase the percentage of natural or organic ingredients.
Water is used in the formulation of virtually every type of cosmetic and personal care product.
A recent trend, again coming from Korea encourages formulators to replace the water in the aqueous phase by either water coming form special sources or by “No water” products such as floral and herbal waters or Fruit Juices.
- Water from certain regions vary from Himalayan origin, Mont Blanc and Volcanoes to the ocean.
- Water or Juices are obtained from fresh organic coconuts, Aloe Vera, Seabuckthorn or Birch.
- A large Variate of organic certified floral and herbal waters range from Anis to Ylang Ylang.
They are rich in minerals and have a low PH mainly between 3.5 – 4.5. They do not contain any Glycerin, they are just pure “waters” which guarantees them a top spot on top of the INCI.
These “Near water“ products improve the formulation with regards to the bio compatibility of the product with the skin.
Applications: Mists, Toners, Splashes, waterfree products, basically any type of cosmetic product. Dosage 5-95%
