Xylitol can offer some interesting skincare effects. For instance: there are some studies showing it can be very useful for who has atopic dermatitis. It can be a great ingredient in cosmetics for sensitive skin.

I don’t feel a very refined mineral oil leaves a greasier sensation than vegetable oils… In fact, I personally think it has a better “texture” than many vegetable oils. A good mineral oil spreads extremely well, isn’t tacky and wouldn’t need antioxidants to be preserved… I personally prefer mineral oil over natural oils in many cases.
Well, silicones are also “foreign substances”, I don’t think it’s a problem… -
SK-Influx, sold by Evonik, can be what you’re looking for:

Belassi: I have similar experience with them. Some big companies, like L’oréal, are launching this kind of product in western countries like US, but maybe it’s more toward to Asian expats.

It’s a new shampoo from Unilever to the Brazilian market… It claims to moisture the scalp, “respect” the pH of your skin etc.
But L’oréal has been using a bit of soap in their shampoos as well (sodium cocoate). An example:Aqua/ Water,Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Dimethicone, Coco Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Glycol Distearate, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Cocamide Mipa, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Hydroxide, Arginine, Salicylic Acid, Limonene, Linalool, 2-Oleamido-1, 3-octadecanediol, Carbomer, Methyl Cocoate, Citric Acid, Hexylene Glycol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Parfum/ Fragrance.It’s a very low amount, but may still have a “foamy impact”. -
June? Remember you’re in Latin America, maybe the most bureaucratic of the world. Nothing is quick here. I’m not sure about Colombia, but in Brasil just to register a product at ANVISA can take many months. For stability tests you will need many days as well…

Lanolin is very rich in cholesterol.
Croda sells cholesterol:There are cholesterol derivatives as well. Exceparl IS-CE A for instance (Cholesteryl isostearate) from Kao. -
Just curious: why so much oil in an anti-acne product?

TKS Ozgirl.

Maybe UV filters in shampoos are used more for marketing…

TKS guys. Anyway, here is the full study: http://www.ijtrichology.com/article.asp?issn=0974-7753;year=2014;volume=6;issue=3;spage=95;epage=99;aulast=Gavazzoni#ref12

Totally agree with you. It’s very hard to find a good lip balm with high SPF in the market. I guess it’s due the taste I high SPF lip balm would have. Some years ago I tried a SPF 50+ lip balm and it tasted HORRIBLE!
The only lip balm with a decent SPF and no bad taste that I could find is this - but its UVA protection isn’t really great:Ingredients here: -
In Japan usually is used Isopropyl Methylphenol (IPMP), an isomer of thymol.
-
The three ones, actually, can decrease the volume of your foam.
-
Anyway, don’t forget to put a disclaimer in your label. Something like “due natural ingredients color variations can occur”.

Yes! I’m totally sure! China is going be to the second largest cosmetic very soon and Chinese people are very entrepreneurial.
Another thing that can be positive: to export to China is bureaucratic, to sell in the Chinese market some Western companies prefer to manufacture in China because it’s easier than export to China… so, you can get some Western clients as well. -
I have to say I personally like the sulfate-free trend. Of course everything it too relative, but in general these amino acids based surfactants, specially the ones from Ajinomoto, leave the skin with a very comfortable feel after the cleansing process. And they foam up very beautifully.
-
The vitamin C… It’s very hard to avoid vitamin C oxidation.
-
Tinosorb S (not approved in the US yet). But is better not using octinoxate with AVO even with stabilizers.
-
Ruben: yes, they’re.

Speanking in NMF… I’ve just read an interesting article: http://www.shiseidogroup.com/rd/uptodate/sc2011_02.html

I think you meant TEWL… I guess glycerin, but urea will add benefit that glycerin won’t. Usually you use multiple ingredients to obtain multiple benefits.

TKS Vitalys. I didn’t knew azulene is so expensive… Anyway, I think about 0.05% is enough to give a blue color…
