Lubrizol Life Science – Beauty (LLS Beauty) is uncovering new benefits of Kelco-Care™ diutan gum for skin care, sun care and color cosmetics formulations.
“Our team of researchers and scientists continue to look for new ways to enhance our nature-based ingredients to meet sustainability goals and consumer expectations,” said Maxime Fougere, Global Marketing Manager, LLS Beauty. “We’re excited to have found new benefits for Kelco-Care™ diutan gum that meet these needs.”
Key skin care benefits include:
• Immediate moisturizing effect that lasts all day long making it a truly multifunctional ingredient for skin care formulations
• Excellent stability at high temperature, maintaining the viscosity of sunscreens during the summer season
• Strong pigment suspension capabilities to meet the growing demand for natural-derived makeup
Kelco-Care™ diutan gum, which entered the market last year, is a microbial polysaccharide produced by fermentation and is an ideal stabilizer in skin care, sun care and color cosmetics formulations.
