DUB SSIC is a multifunctional ester particularly suitable for the formulation of foundations containing a high concentration of pigments.
By combining a better yield of pigments and a lower viscosity of dispersions, DUB SSIC allows you to obtain excellent coverage and create fluid and flowing emulsions with a rich and pleasantly powdery texture.
The choice of a good wetting and dispersing agent of the pigments is a fundamental point in the formulation of a foundation.
To help the formulator meet this challenge, Stéarinerie Dubois analyzed the dispersing capacities of 25 of its esters against 5 inorganic pigments widely used for the foundation formulation: red iron oxide, yellow iron oxide, titanium dioxide, black iron oxide and ultramarine. blue. Each ester was then compared with castor oil as the reference dispersing agent.
Benefits deriving from the use of DUB SSIC in the foundation formulation
The comparative study carried out by Stéarinerie Dubois made it possible to select DUB SSIC (Isocetyl stearoyl stearate) as the best dispersing agent against all the pigments analyzed and highlighted the following application benefits deriving from its use in the foundation formulation
Compared to castor oil, DUB SSIC has superior wetting properties against all the pigments considered.
- The best rheological characteristics of the dispersions obtained with DUB SSIC facilitate the process of incorporating the dispersion into the formulation and are very interesting for the creation of foundations containing a high concentration of inorganic pigments.
- The lubricity and smoothness conferred by DUB SSIC improve playtime and allow for a perfectly even foundation application.
- By combining better pigment yield and lower dispersion viscosity, DUB SSIC allows for fluid emulsions with excellent coverage and a pleasantly powdery texture.
- The plant origin of DUB SSIC makes it suitable for the formulation of organic cosmetic products.
