Emollients stand as indispensable components in cosmetic formulations, imparting distinctiveness to finished products through their technical prowess, performance, and sensorial allure. The cosmetic market boasts a plethora of emollients, each with unique characteristics and different origins. Consequently, navigating through this complex and intricate palette has become increasingly challenging. Figuring out which emollient is the most suitable choice has become a formidable task due to the intricate nuances of their characteristics. ROEMI HPC’s initiative aims to furnish formulators with a comprehensive guide on the optimal utilization of emollients portfolio within formulations. By providing technical insights, it is possible to facilitate the selection of the finest emollients for attractive cosmetics that are both sophisticated and refined.

Emollients are a nutritive essence for the skin, forming a protective layer that not only shields the skin from external environmental aggressors but also prevents trans epidermal water loss (TEWL). This prevention is a fundamental mechanism for sustaining the epidermis, disrupting the cycle of dry skin and preserving the skin's smoothness.

Their capabilities extend beyond these aspects. Indeed, emollients deliver a multitude of benefits, serving as a solubilizer for UV filters in sun care applications and as a dispersing agent for pigments in color cosmetics. Lastly, they possess the skill to infuse cosmetic formulations with endless and distinctive sensory experiences.

All these attributes arise from the inherent nature, chemical structure, and technical parameters unique to each emollient. In the reflective embrace of the new EMotion® brand, this collection of cosmetics esters stands as an epic fusion of excellence, performance and reliability. These are innovative ingredients designed for tomorrow's cosmetics, with a strong drive toward sustainability through manufacturing processes based on green chemistry or inspired by the noble art of upcycling.

With a deep focus on formulators' needs and the creation of finished products that are perfectly balanced in terms of performance and sensorial appeal, ROELMI HPC has developed a series of analyses capable of providing clear and effective insights into the features associated with each emollient in its portfolio. This study extends to products with similar properties outside the portfolio, offering a comprehensive view of the results, ensuring a thorough understanding of the performance and sensory aspects

In formulation, the key principle lies in employing diverse emollients to craft a tailored sensorial experience. To achieve this “sensory cascade”, five fundamental considerations are essential: performance, where understanding the optimal emollients with solubilizing or wetting capabilities is crucial for products targeting sun care or makeup applications; texture, where emollient selection varies based on the desired light or rich texture of the formulation, necessitating highly absorbing or nourishing emollients respectively; coverage area, where formulations for body creams require emollients with high spreadability, while those for face creams demand consideration of skin type; products targeting oily skin benefit from emollients with high absorption, whereas those for dry skin necessitate rich and nourishing alternatives. Following these considerations, it is fundamental play and mix together, at different dosages, the emollients in order to design the perfect formula.

Starting with a comprehensive market analysis to discern emerging trends and evolving cosmetic requirements, a critical examination of emollients was conducted to furnish formulators with a technical roadmap grounded in empirical and scientific evidence. This endeavor is indispensable for the selection of optimal ingredients to create the personalized sensorial cascade by synergizing emollients with different characteristics and texture. Thanks to this preliminary analysis, the customization of cosmetic offerings is possible, creating a paramount consideration in the post-Covid era where individuality and personalization are increasingly valued as integral to well-being.

ROELMI HPC's commitment to excellence is reflected in the EMotion® line's innovative formulations, seamlessly blending science and emotion. Our emollients are not just mere ingredients; they are conduits that transport you to a world where cosmetic formulation becomes an art, and each application if its products is a brushstroke on the canvas of your emotions.
