Creating the WOW factor to your formulations: an innovative emulsifier package which enables the formulation of W/O/W (water-in-oil-in-water) emulsions in just one step through a direct emulsification process.
Our ACT product range is developed within the INCITE project, which is aiming to accelerate a transition to a more flexible and sustainable chemistry by taking novel integrated upstream and downstream processing. Our demo plant at Oleon Oelegem is the icon for the actions we are taking now to increase our future impact. And we are taking a new step forward towards more sustainable, zero-carbon solutions.
Oleon has developed a water-dispersible emollient to create mild formulations as it has effective cleansing properties and decreases the concentration of surfactants needed in formulations. Jolee 7244 is based on renewable raw materials and readily biodegradable.
Due to a growing focus on eco-friendly materials and processes, Oleon has developed a range of cold process emulsifiers. Cold processing of emulsions describes the process of formulating without the use of any external heat. These emulsifiers do not only reduce the energy demand but also the required manufacturing time.
Oleon offers silicone-like solutions as green alternatives for the silicones on the market. These silicone alternatives have a broad range in viscosity and originate from natural feedstocks such as rapeseed, corn, palm, wheat and caster oil.
In all cosmetic products containing water, there must be a humectant. The best humectant is glycerin, as it shows extremely good skin compatibilit, but. Proplylene glycol proves to be a worthy alternative, being a powerful solvent with extended compatibility with aqueous solutions. It acts as a carrier, dispersant, and wetting agent, reducing water activity and providing a light skin feel.
Green Chemistry is the heart of our company. We use bio-based materials to supply our customers with the most environment-friendly and safe products.
