Within the last three years, the CosmetAgora trade fair in Paris has become one of the most important trade fairs for cosmetic ingredients. The fair provides a platform – particularly for medium-sized and small companies – to present the latest trends and products in raw materials, textures, toxicological tests and many other areas
On 18 and 19 January 2012, KahlWax will participate at CosmetAgora for the 3rd time, where the wax specialist will show its latest developments for lipsticks and for skin and hair care products.
Green ingredients are in high demand with the consumer – especially when it comes to skin care. With Kahl VegoJelly 7036, KahlWax offers a high-quality, vegetable alternative to classic petroleum jellies for skin and hair care products. Kahl VegoJelly 7036 is fully plant based and offers numerous benefits in terms of application and usage.
Sun care products should be safe, even for daily use. They should leave a pleasant and effective film on the skin without feeling sticky. And they should be easy to apply. KahlEmulsion SE 620 is an ingredient for sun care products offering exactly what the consumers want. As a natural product based on sunflower seed and carnauba wax, KahlEmulsion SE 620 is a modern wax formulation for use in sun, hair and skin care products. KahlEmulsion SE 620 offers superior performance, doubling the SPF and, as a natural film former with enhanced sensory properties, significantly improving the way the end product feels on the skin.
Cream-wax formulations for hair care, which deliver a light and natural hold, are in high demand with consumers. KahlEmulsion BE 820, based on beeswax and carnauba, is the perfect ingredient to meet the requirements of modern hair care. KahlEmulsion BE 820 is non-sticky and is easy to apply, offering the ideal balance between a waxy, rich consistency and perfect softness during application.
Lipsticks should have a long-lasting shine, feel pleasant to wear and nourish the skin – the very qualities that define KahlWax 6607L. KahlWax 6607L is obtained by carefully refining sunflower seed oil and is not chemically treated. It considerably improves viscosity in oil gels, water-in-oil creams and lotions. When used in creams, KahlWax 6607L feels very elegant on the skin. In stick preparations, such as lipsticks and lip balms, KahlWax 6607L excels not only as a stabilizer, but also provides exceptional shine.
KahlWax 6290 from KahlWax is ideal for lipsticks, lipbalm and other stick preparations. The 100% vegetable-based berry wax is manufactured from the fruits of sumac trees and works as a gelling agent for oils, particularly castor oil and other ester oils. KahlWax 6290 is a soft, easily emulsifiable wax that acts as an excellent superfatting agent for water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions.
“Providing each market with just the right wax in just the right form is especially important to us. Our product line includes finely dispersed, highly concentrated wax emulsions that are nevertheless low in viscosity and, as such, pourable, yielding highly satisfactory films. Not only can these emulsions be easily integrated into our clients’ final products – they also reduce customers’ energy consumption and, in so doing, contribute to a more sustainable energy balance,” says Dr. Uwe Zimmermann, technical marketing manager at KahlWax.
