The cosmetics industry is constantly on the lookout for innovative raw materials. Our French supplier, PolymerExpert, has therefore decided to make this its mission, in particular with the development of 2 ranges: ESTOGEL® and EXPERTGEL®.

ESTOGEL® are bio-based oil gelling polymers that replace macromolecules of fossil origin. These fully or partially biosourced polymers, depending on the grade, are derived from castor oil. These rheological agents produce transparent oily gels with suspensive properties. These highly natural gelling agents for polar to moderately polar oils are easy to use.

EXPERTGEL® are water-soluble polymers that are liquid at room temperature and gel at body temperature. Thanks to a unique and innovative technology, the gelling temperature of EXPERTGEL® can be easily adjusted to suit a wide range of applications. An SPF booster, this intelligent thickening agent makes it possible to create sprayable, film-forming products.

In the formula below, ESTOGEL® M and ESTOGEL® Green are used in synergy to form transparent sticks. The hardness of ESTOGEL® M is balanced by the softness of ESTOGEL® Green. This transparent stick formula glides onto the lips, leaving a thin layer of moisture.
ESTOGEL® M, which makes up the majority of this formula, stabilises the formula and gives it a soft, silky feel.
