FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS ECOGEL FIRST NATURAL GELLING- EMULSIFYING AGENT Key points Patented gelling ingredient with emulsifying properties With soy lysophospholipids For natural gel-cream textures Polyvalent and universal

  1. FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS ECOGEL ™ FIRST NATURAL GELLING- EMULSIFYING AGENT

  2. Key points • Patented gelling ingredient with emulsifying properties • With soy lysophospholipids • For natural gel-cream textures • Polyvalent and universal INCI name Lysolecithin (and) Sclerotium Gum (and) Xanthan Gum (and) Pullulan

  3. First natural gelling-emulsifying agent Emulsifying properties • Lysolecithin (Hydrolysed lecithin) - Higher HLB value to create smaller droplets and more stable emulsions - Phospholipid touch Gelling properties Combination of 2 polysaccharides • Sclerotium gum + Xanthan gum Texture innovation Synergetic combination with a third polysaccharide • Pullulan - Film-former - Good adhesive properties

  4. Sensorial profile Protocol • Sensorial profile by an external expert panel • 1% Ecogel™ • Statistical analysis of the results

  5. Sensorial profile Ecogel™ characteristics: • Low picking • High slipping • Coolness • No whitening at application • High spreadability • Low tackiness Silicone-like skin feel !

  6. Characteristic property • Low picking

  7. Rheological characteristics • Viscosity is Ecogel ™ concentration-dependant Fonctionality of Ecogel™ depends on its concentration

  8. Compatibilities • Wide range of pH Ecogel™ is stable from pH 3 to 10

  9. Compatibilities • Maximum compatibility with electrolytes Viscosity is not affected by up to 2% of mono or divalent ions

  10. Compatibilities • Compatible with various types of preservatives and additives Rheology and viscosity are not affected by most additives

  11. Compatibilities • Compatible with surfactants

  12. Compatibilities • Compatible with surfactants • Decrease the picking of the formula Shampoo Shampoo without Ecogel™ with Ecogel™ Ecogel™ thickens toiletries and enhances their sensoriality

  13. Compatibilities • Ecogel™ is compatible with all types of oil phase • Ecogel™ at 2% emulsify  10% oil phase • Ecogel™ is compatible with sun filters • As Ecogel™ doesn’t contain acrylate derivatives it is perfectly compatible with pigments and sunscreens • Ecogel™ is compatible with up to 10% ethanol Ecogel™ is the new key ingredient for both natural and conventional formulas

  14. Competitor study • Sensorial profiles by an external expert panel compared to both natural and conventional thickeners • 1% Ecogel™ • Natural competitor = pure sclerotium gum at 0.5% • Synthetic competitors ‐ Acrylates copolymer at 0.15% (C10-30 alkyl acrylates crosspolymer) ‐ Acrylate at 0.5% (Polyacrylamide (and) C13-14 isoparaffin (and) Laureth-7) • Statistical analysis of the results

  15. Natural competitor study Gel sensoriality is enhanced and Ecogel™ reduces risk of lumps

  16. Synthetic competitor study • Similar results on most application items! • No differences on: ‐ Brightness ‐ Slipping ‐ Whitening on application ‐ Spreadability ‐ Tacking ‐ Softness ‐ Penetration Skin feel with Ecogel™ is as sophisticated as in synthetic textures

  17. Tolerance studies • Skin Irritation (single patch test) (concentration tested: 4%) • Eye Irritation (concentration tested: 4%) • Phototoxicity Ecotoxicity studies • Biodegradability • Aquatic toxicity Excellent Safety Profile

  18. Product information INCI name Lysolecithin (and) Sclerotium Gum (and) Xanthan Gum (and) Pullulan Appearance Beige powder Recommended dosage 0.3 -2% Ecocert/Cosmos status Registered

  19. Product information Formulation Hot process Hydration step of phospholipids Strong stirring to fully develop the gel Optimum pH 3 - 12 Applications • 1.5 - 2%: Main gelling and • >1% : Stabilizer and viscosity emulsifying agent for gel-creams adjuster for all kind of emulsions • >0.3%: Skin feel enhancer

  20. Process • Step 1. Add Ecogel™ into water phase under mechanical stirring

  21. Process • Step 2. Keep under stirring for 20 minutes minimum to hydrate phospholipids and develop the gel

  22. Process • Step 3. Add oil phase

  23. Process • Step 4. Homogenize at maximum stirring speed

  24. Process • Step 5. Cool down under stirring

  25. Process Final viscosity is reached a few time after manufacturing due to the shear thinning behavior of the gel

  26. Sustainable green process • Green processed ingredients • Lysolecithin obtained by biotechnology from crude lecithin which is a by- product of the food industry • Xanthan gum, sclerotium gum and pullulan obtained from micro- organisms with biotechnological processes • Cold and dry process manufacturing Preservation of natural resources Saved energy Reduced waste

  27. Advantages of Ecogel™ compared to other gelling agents • 100% natural active matter • Easy-to-use • High resistance to electrolytes • Natural gel-creams textures • New natural sensoriality - Silicone-like skin feel !!
