(the revolutionary botanical base used in Sun PuttyTM):
Botanical extracts continue to be used by cosmetic and personal care formulators as natural-based
ingredients with multiple benefits. Vegelatum® Clear RM is a novel botanical emollient that is superior to
petroleum based emollients such as petrolatum and petroleum jelly (which are by-products of the crude
oil industry). It is important to note petroleum jelly has been listed as a probable human carcinogen on the
European Union's Dangerous Substances Directive due to its potential to contain harmful impurities.
Not only does Vegelatum® Clear RM provide a safer alternative to petroleum based emollients, it is
also an excellent source of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). Scientific research continues to indicate the
nutritional benefits associated with EFAs are important for healthy looking skin and hair.
The entire range
of Vegelatum® products are created from non-transgenically modified canola oil that is rich in EFAs and
vitamin E. This novel line of emollients help to soften, smooth and protect the epidermis/hair cuticle
through the retention of the body.s natural oils and moisture. Vegelatum® products allow for the
replacement of petroleum jelly with a plant based ingredient that is high in EFAs.
Vegelatum® Clear RM Description:
Vegelatum® Clear RM is an emollient produced from canola oil [Canola Oil and Silica and Zea Mays (Corn) Starch]
that is later supplemented with Rosemary extract (anti-oxidant). As a plant-
based mixture of hydrocarbons Vegelatum® offers a far superior alternative to petroleum based emollients along with the
added benefits of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). Vegelatum® Clear RM has little to no odour and its clear appearance allows for the
widespread use in a number of applications where clear and transparent appearances are desired. The skin smoothing/hydrating properties
and EFAs within Vegelatum® Clear RM is also associated with a decrease in fine lines on the skin.
Functionality:
Vegelatum® Clear RM is an ideal ingredient in cosmetic formulations as it can be used as a skin conditioner, emollient, film former, viscosity
controlling agent and a viscosity building agent.
Applications:
Vegelatum® Clear RM coats the epidermis when applied to the skin, thus it is an excellent moisturizing ingredient in creams, lotions, scrubs,
sunscreen, and cosmetics. Vegelatum® Clear RM performs particularly well in skin care, hair care and sunscreen formulations, which include
baby creams, emollient creams, cold creams, conditioning creams, protective creams, sunscreen and self-tanning lotions, lip balms, lipsticks,
eye-shadows and bar soaps, where little to no fragrance is a formulating requirement.
