Cetearyl alcohol is a mixture of cetyl alcohol (hexadecanol) and stearyl alcohol (octadecanol). These two components are often obtained from vegetable fats or oils. For this reason, the two alcohols are called fatty alcohols. However, cetyl alcohol (hexadecanol) and stearyl alcohol (octadecanol) can also be obtained by the hydrolysis of waxes. Cetylstearyl alcohol is used in many cosmetic compounds as it increases the stability of emulsions and the texture of compounds. Cetearyl alcohol forms a solid white mass which serves as a water-binding, consistency-giving component.

Cetearyl Isononanoate is the ester of Pelargonic Acid and Cetearyl Alcohol. Its main part is based on a renewable, plant-based (palm- and/or palmkernel oil) source. A smaller portion of the molecule is sourced via petro-chemical feedstock. Cetearyl Isononanoate is a medium viscous with strong hydrophobic (water repellent) properties that soften and smoothen rough skin.

Creatine, a body’s own amino acid derivative, plays a central role in cellular energy supply. Cells attain their physiological levels of Creatine by biosynthesis from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine and/or alternatively by ingestion of meat and fish. Creatine plays a key part in our body’s energy supply, as it acts like a battery that buffers, transports and releases energy, helping to cope with alternating energy demands.

This ingredient belongs to the group of preservatives, allowed for use in cosmetic products and are part of a positive list (Annex V of the Cosmetics Regulation EU). Preservatives - like the one searched here - are designed to protect cosmetic products. These ingredients play an essential role in keeping cosmetics safe against spoilage and contamination by micro-organisms during storage and continued use. This is important for consumers' safety. Product safety is the number one priority for the cosmetics industry and we therefore provide products that have been formulated to prevent contamination by microorganisms. Bacteria, yeasts and moulds are always present on our skin, in the air around us and even in the water we drink. These can get into products during normal use. Contamination of products, especially those used around the eyes and on skin, can cause significant problems if the level of contamination is high. Preservatives can prevent these problems by stopping micro-organisms from multiplying in the product. The most used preservatives in our products are phenoxyethanol and parabens.

This ingredient belongs to the group of UV-filters (UV means ultra-violet), being allowed for use in cosmetic products in the EU and is listed on the positive list of UV filters (Annex VI of the Cosmetics Regulation). UV filters are essential ingredients that protect the skin against sun damage and prevents the risks of skin cancer as well as sunburn, premature skin aging, or the appearance of spots. In general, there are two types of UV filters: Organic filters absorb UVA and UVB rays and transform energy into heat. Mineral filters, on the other hand, consist of tiny particles that form kind of a shield on the skin and reflect mainly UVB radiation and less UVA radiation. Each UV filter provides a specific type of protection against UV radiation, which is why sunscreen products and daily skincare products with SPF are usually composed of a combination of different filters to ensure broad spectrum protection.
