Alland & Robert has launched DemeCare, a range of Cosmos-certified natural gums for the formulation of cosmetics products.
The range of composed of 12 products based on acacia gum, sterculia gum, and their blends which are patent pending. Each product is said to offer various functional properties and is available organic.
Acacia and sterculia gums have properties essential to the formulations of natural care products such as skincare, cleansing gels and make-up.
From mascaras, eye-liners and lipsticks to lotions by way of creams and haircare products, vegetal gums are considered by formulators as natural, completely harmless and healthy ingredients.
Thanks to their viscosity, rheological and texturing properties, they bring stability and texture to cosmetics. They can also be used as emulsifiers in lotions or serums which require specific textures.
“The properties of natural gums are manifold: they can therefore be used to great advantage as emulsifiers, texturing agents, tightening agents, technological aids, film-forming agents, suspensoid agents and sensory improvers,” said Lucie Birchler, cosmetic expert in the R&D team of Alland & Robert.
To create the DemeCare range, over 100 tests and experiences were carried out by varying the different gums and their proportions in various cosmetic bases. Alland & Robert has patented the blends of gums that are part of the range.
