Resconcept PGF Green - Kinetik

RESCONCEPT ® PGF GREEN:
a natural way to formulate
RESCONCEPT ® is a new way of
approaching the manufacturing process
of cosmetic emulsions.
RESCONCEPT ® products are extremely
stable concentrated cosmetic emulsions
that can be used as frame emulsions for
the production of any type of cosmetic
product. RESCONCEPT ® products are,
in fact, the result of our experience with
Wet Wipe concentrated emulsions.
Further studies show how they can be
used to make excellent quality cosmetic
emulsions of any viscosity through the
simple use of rheological agents.

RESCONCEPT ® PGF GREEN
RESCONCEPT ® PGF GREEN is a preservative free and PEG-free concentrated
emulsion with low water content. It was designed to be used diluted, in cold
process, and personalized through the addition of actives for the production of a
wide range of modern and green skin products.
Application studies performed by Res Pharma Industriale laboratories result in several
formulations based on RESCONCEPT ® PGF GREEN that show versatility and performance
of the product.

NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC RHEOLOGICAL ADDITIVES

THE ADVANTAGES OF THE “RESCONCEPT” CONCEPT
COLD EASY FAST PROCESS
RES CONCEPT ® products do not require heating during
the manufacturing process.
Both liposoluble and hydrosoluble ingredients or phases can
also be added cold.
FASTER LAB DEVELOPMENT TIME
Thanks to their ease of use, the development time required
to produce a lab formula is drastically reduced.
The formulator can therefore offer a wider choice of
formulations to the customer/marketing department.
INCREASED PRODUCTION CAPACITY
A cold production process requires less time than a traditional
emulsion manufacturing process, allowing to produce multiple
batches per day.
ECONOMICAL FORMULATION
The efficacy of these ingredients means they can be used in
quantities ranging between 5 and 30% to produce quality
cosmetic emulsions and consequently lower total formula costs.
VERSATILITY
The same RES CONCEPT ® ingredient can be used to
manufacture cosmetic emulsions of any viscosity: from spray
emulsions, such as deodorants or sunscreen products, to
thick creams, such as day or night creams or moisturizing
creams.
LOGISTICAL SAVINGS
As the same emulsion concentrate can be used to manufacture
a whole range of finished products, the number of raw
materials purchased, transported and stocked can be reduced.

The product is presented together with a rheological study
based on RESCONCEPT ® PGF GREEN and RESIL ® GX, a complex
of natural rheological agents

Rheology
Res Pharma Industriale’s laboratories perform a study
on natural thickening agents (or from natural sources)
concluding that the possibilities are very few and
chose the “green way” often means to achieve weak
rheological and sensorial performances.
Starting from studies performed in food field (1) , we
decided to test the properties of mixture Guar/Xanthan
gum: rheologists know very well that they have a
sinergic effect in thickening acqueous solutions in
cold processing.
From the two polymer Idrossipropilguar (G) and
Xanthan gum (X) we prepared different mixture
changing the relative amount. Viscosity of the different
mix has been tested with viscosimeter increasing
shear rate from 1 a 1000 s -1 (Flow Curve Analysis).
For all products viscosity decrease with the increasing
of the flow in logarithmic way (shear thinning
behavior), as reported in Picture 1:
Formulation
Concentrated emulsion ResConcept PGF Green,
diluted in water, has been added with Resil GX
mixture already optimized with cold processing.
The emulsions obtained this way, analyzed with
viscosimeter, showed the same behavior as to the
one in Picture 1, proving a good structure of polymeric
network, able to stabilize the small drops in the
dispersed phase.
Besides the viscosity those emulsions has been
evaluated regarding their stability (oven 45°C, fridge
4°C, RT) and the sensorial characteristic (in use, pre
and post application). Three combination areas have
been underlined, as shown in Picture 2:
A: Resconcept PGF Green 3% / Resil GX 0.8%
B: Resconcept PGF Green 4%/ Resil GX 1.3%
C: Resconcept PGF Green 5%/ Resil GX 1.5%
High viscosity at low shear rate assure resistance to
sedimentation and long shelf life stability. At the
same time a low viscosity at high shear rate means
good application and pleasant sensorial effect.
All the Flow Curves has been fitted with a Ostwald
Model (y = k x n ) allowing the confront between the
different formulation through the values of parameters
k (consistency factor) and n (flow behaviour index).
This way has been possible to reach the “optimum”
in mixture Resil GX formulation.
Starting from each standard formulation several
products have been prepared, adding oils, moisturizing,
actives, powders and preservatives. So we are able
to propose a wide set of complete formulations that
have successfully passed the stability and sensorial
tests.
Using ResConcept PGF Green and Resil GX in
the ratio closed to the proposed ones it’s possible to
achieve the best compromise between “green”
rheological additive, a good texture and great skin
feel. The products, in fact, appears to have increasing
and appropriate viscosity and with good capability of
absorption and use.
