Vitamins and Nutrients for Personal Care
Vitamins help to provide a beneficial environment for the protection,
correction and renewal process of hair, skin and nails. Addition of vitamins
at the relevant levels and in scientifically formulated vehicles can enhance
the performance of personal care products by increasing their performance, and
functionality. Of particular interest in personal care are vitamins A, E, C,
D, Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) and vitamin B6. Also, Phytantriol and Omega-6
Oils (Borage Oil and Evening Primrose Oil) are very useful in enhancing the
performance of personal care products.
UV filters are ingredients, which absorb, reflect, or block harmful
ultraviolet A and B radiation. They are formulated into
sun care products to give a specific SPF number. The damage to skin and
hair resulting from daily exposure to sunlight is increasing, as a result UV
filters are becoming popular in day care products, such as moisturisers,
shampoos and conditioners. UV filters are also used to protect the integrity
of cosmetic products, ensuring the colour and the fragrance do not change over
time. DSM's UV filters are marketed under the exclusive PARSOL®
brand.
Emulsifiers enable the harmonious integration between the oil phase and
the aquenous phase resulting in cosmetic products that give an elegant feel
and a brilliant shine. DSM's emulsifiers are marketed under the exclusive
AMPHISOL® brand.
