SKIN CARE

Zschimmer & Schwarz produces a wide range of performance and functional ingredients, from the high-quality ZETEMOL emollients to the sophisticated emulsifiers of the SEBUMOL (W/O) and PROTELAN (O/W) product lines.

Selecting the right ingredients is the key to creating the desired features of a cosmetic product. The skin care portfolio of Zschimmer & Schwarz offers product developers a comprehensive range of ingredients from high-performance emulsifiers to top-quality emollients which give a pleasant touch and provide the required texture to cosmetic formulations.

Creams and lotions, body serums

The skin is the body’s largest organ. It is exposed to innumerable harmful influences on a daily basis and therefore requires special protection. Skin care should therefore be part of your daily routine. Emulsions play an important role in this context as they provide special care effects to the skin. They come in very different viscosities: in liquid form, they are called lotions, while (highly) viscous formulations are called creams. Numerous emulsifiers are available to develop sophisticated formulations containing oils or active ingredients.

 

Emulsifiers

The pleasant skin sensation as well as the stability of cosmetic emulsions strongly depend on the formulation’s emulsifier system. We offer highly effective solutions, from our classic MULSIFAN range to the outstanding efficacy of the PROTELAN and SEBUMOL ranges, which are suitable for any O/W and W/O emulsions.

 

Emollients

Zschimmer & Schwarz offers an extensive portfolio of emollients. When they are combined, a wide variety of sensory effects, textures and other properties can be achieved: from light to heavy consistencies, and from short to medium playtime.

 

Polymers

Polymers created in our patented wax-grafting process contain a crystalline portion that provides barrier functions to the skin. At the same time, this technology ensures optimal moisture retention, elasticity and tactile properties, such as smoothness and comfortable wear. The grafted, amorphous portion achieves film formation, adhesion and substantivity.

 

Humectants

Humectants are hydrophilic ingredients that pull water from the dermis, the second layer of skin, to the epidermis, the top layer of skin. This process increases the level of moisture in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin.

Sun care

Throughout the year, but especially in the warmer months, it is important to protect our skin from harmful UV rays with the right sun care products. Our emulsifiers and emollients help you to create sunscreens that are efficient and feel good on the skin.

 

Emulsifiers

The pleasant skin sensation as well as the stability of cosmetic emulsions strongly depend on the formulation’s emulsifier system. For sun care applications, we recommend our PROTELAN range for an outstanding stability of O/W sunscreen formulations as well as our SEBUMOL range for extra hydration and a boosting effect on W/O emulsions.

 

Emollients

Zschimmer & Schwarz offers an extensive portfolio of emollients. When they are combined, a wide variety of sensory effects, textures and other properties can be achieved: from light to heavy consistencies, and from short to medium playtime.

 

Sunscreen solubilisers

Zschimmer & Schwarz offers a wide range of emollients for sun care, including sunscreen solubilisers. Since ZETEMOL OSB and ZETEMOL AB are compatible with sunscreen, they can enhance the SPF and thus maximise skin protection. Thanks to these emollients, it is possible to increase the performance of a sunscreen without adding more filters and to leave a nice after-feel on the skin.

 

Polymers

Speaking about sun protection, two key points are important: the SPF of the product as well as its water resistance. The acrylic polymers of our SYNTRAN® line are able to enhance the water resistance of your sunscreen formulations. And our wax-grafted polymer technology boosts the performance of UVA/UVB sunscreen products.

Face care

A good skin care routine is only as good as the products that are used. Since the skin on the face in particular needs special care, products for face care must meet the highest demands in terms of performance and skin compatibility. Zschimmer & Schwarz helps formulators create the perfect face cream for any skin type.

 

Emulsifiers

The pleasant skin sensation as well as the stability of cosmetic emulsions strongly depend on the formulation’s emulsifier system. We offer highly effective solutions for face creams: from our classic MULSIFAN range to the outstanding efficacy of the PROTELAN and SEBUMOL ranges for any O/W and W/O emulsions.

 

Emollients

Zschimmer & Schwarz offers an extensive portfolio of emollients. When they are combined, a wide variety of sensory effects, textures and other properties can be achieved. From light to heavy consistencies, and from short to medium playtime: give your face cream exactly the desired properties.

 

Polymers

Our special skin care polymers indulge the skin in a unique manner. They provide it with sufficient moisture, protect it from harmful influences and effectively reduce wrinkles. The patented bimodal technology forms a unique interpenetrating network which strengthens and firms the skin without flaking and powdering. The polymers guarantee an overall appealing look of the skin.
