ECOGEL™

FIRST NATURAL GELLING- EMULSIFYING AGENT

FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS

SLIDE 2

Key points

Patented gelling ingredient with emulsifying properties
With soy lysophospholipids
For natural gel-cream textures
Polyvalent and universal

INCI name Lysolecithin (and) Sclerotium Gum (and) Xanthan Gum (and) Pullulan

SLIDE 3

First natural gelling-emulsifying agent

Emulsifying properties

Lysolecithin (Hydrolysed lecithin)
Higher HLB value to create smaller droplets and more stable emulsions
Phospholipid touch

Gelling properties Combination of 2 polysaccharides

Sclerotium gum + Xanthan gum

Texture innovation Synergetic combination with a third polysaccharide

Pullulan
Film-former
Good adhesive properties

Sensorial profile

Protocol

Sensorial profile by an external expert panel
1% Ecogel™
Statistical analysis of the results

SLIDE 5

Sensorial profile

Silicone-like skin feel !

Ecogel™ characteristics:

Low picking
High slipping
Coolness
No whitening at application
High spreadability
Low tackiness

SLIDE 6

Characteristic property

Low picking

SLIDE 7

Rheological characteristics

Viscosity is Ecogel™ concentration-dependant

Fonctionality of Ecogel™ depends on its concentration

SLIDE 8

Compatibilities

Wide range of pH

Ecogel™ is stable from pH 3 to 10

SLIDE 9

Compatibilities

Maximum compatibility with electrolytes

Viscosity is not affected by up to 2% of mono or divalent ions

SLIDE 10

Compatibilities

Compatible with various types of preservatives and additives

Rheology and viscosity are not affected by most additives

SLIDE 11

Compatibilities

Compatible with surfactants

SLIDE 12

Compatibilities

Compatible with surfactants
Decrease the picking of the formula

Ecogel™ thickens toiletries and enhances their sensoriality

Shampoo without Ecogel™ Shampoo with Ecogel™

SLIDE 13

Compatibilities

Ecogel™ is compatible with all types of oil phase
Ecogel™ at 2% emulsify  10% oil phase
Ecogel™ is compatible with sun filters
As Ecogel™ doesn’t contain acrylate derivatives it is perfectly compatible

with pigments and sunscreens

Ecogel™ is compatible with up to 10% ethanol

Ecogel™ is the new key ingredient for both natural and conventional formulas

SLIDE 14

Competitor study

Sensorial profiles by an external expert panel compared to both natural

and conventional thickeners

1% Ecogel™
Natural competitor = pure sclerotium gum at 0.5%
Synthetic competitors

‐ Acrylates copolymer at 0.15% (C10-30 alkyl acrylates crosspolymer) ‐ Acrylate at 0.5% (Polyacrylamide (and) C13-14 isoparaffin (and) Laureth-7)

Statistical analysis of the results

SLIDE 15

Natural competitor study

Gel sensoriality is enhanced and Ecogel™ reduces risk of lumps

SLIDE 16

Synthetic competitor study

Skin feel with Ecogel™ is as sophisticated as in synthetic textures

Similar results on most

application items!

No differences on:

‐ Brightness ‐ Slipping ‐ Whitening on application ‐ Spreadability ‐ Tacking ‐ Softness ‐ Penetration

SLIDE 17

Tolerance studies

Skin Irritation (single patch test) (concentration tested: 4%)
Eye Irritation (concentration tested: 4%)
Phototoxicity

Ecotoxicity studies

Biodegradability
Aquatic toxicity

Excellent Safety Profile

Product information

INCI name Lysolecithin (and) Sclerotium Gum (and) Xanthan Gum (and) Pullulan Appearance Beige powder Recommended dosage 0.3 -2% Ecocert/Cosmos status Registered

SLIDE 19

Product information

Formulation Hot process Hydration step of phospholipids Strong stirring to fully develop the gel Optimum pH 3 - 12 Applications

1.5 - 2%: Main gelling and

emulsifying agent for gel-creams

>1% : Stabilizer and viscosity

adjuster for all kind of emulsions

>0.3%: Skin feel enhancer

SLIDE 20

Process

Step 1. Add Ecogel™ into water phase under mechanical stirring

SLIDE 21

Process

Step 2. Keep under stirring for 20 minutes minimum to hydrate

phospholipids and develop the gel

SLIDE 22

Process

Step 3. Add oil phase

SLIDE 23

Process

Step 4. Homogenize at maximum stirring speed

SLIDE 24

Process

Step 5. Cool down under stirring

SLIDE 25

Process

Final viscosity is reached a few time after manufacturing due to the shear thinning behavior of the gel

SLIDE 26

Sustainable green process

Green processed ingredients
Lysolecithin obtained by biotechnology from crude lecithin which is a by-

product of the food industry

Xanthan gum, sclerotium gum and pullulan obtained from micro-
rganisms with biotechnological processes
Cold and dry process manufacturing

Preservation of natural resources Saved energy Reduced waste

SLIDE 27

Advantages of Ecogel™ compared to other gelling agents

100% natural active matter
Easy-to-use
High resistance to electrolytes
Natural gel-creams textures
New natural sensoriality - Silicone-like skin feel !!
