Solubilizer Overview 3

What is Fragrance Solubilization? • Emulsion or dispersion characterized by particle size • Generally less than ~600A • Surfactant alone is water soluble • Fragrance generally soluble in the surfactant • High ratio of surfactant to oil • Usually tolerate infinite dilution 4

Fragrance Characteristics Odor Class Odor Class Relativ elative e Exa Examples ples Pola olari rity ty Floral High Jasmine, rose, lilac, carnation Fruity Medium Esters, aldehydes, fruity lactones Menthe Medium Peppermint, spearmint, menthol Spice/Herbs Medium/Low Spice oils (eugenol) Citrus Low Terpenes, limonene Woody Low Cedar, sandalwood, pinene Medicinal Low Camphor, thymol Animal Low Ambergris, civet, musk 5

Solubility Parameter • Measure of cohesive forces between molecules • Higher numbers tend to be more polar • Molecules with similar numbers will be miscible • Molecules with values >9 will tend to be easier to solubilizer into water • Polar oils are easier to solubilize than nonpolar oils 6

Solubilizer Overview Why are solubilizers made by ethoxylation? • Simple surfactants • Easily vary the HLB • Cost 9

Solubilizer Overview • A by-product of ethoxylation is 1,4-Dioxane: O O 2 O Ethylene Oxide 1,4-Dioxane 10

Naturally Derived Solubilizers 11

What is “Naturally Derived”? 12 Principles of Green Chemistry: • Major raws from renewable sources • No waste or toxic by-products • Safe process methods • Readily biodegradable • Non-toxic solvents Must produce products with comparable performance 12

Sorbitan Oleate Decylglucoside Crosspolymer (SODC) • HLB Value: 13 • 65% solids in water • Moderate foamer • Straw color • “Co”polymer of Decyl Glucoside and Sorbitan Monoleate, using biobased linker • Patented • Ecocert/COSMOS, NPA, NSF, 100% Biobased (USDA) 13

Heptyl Glucoside • 70% active in water • Non-foaming • Low color • Glucoside from castor oil-derived heptyl alcohol • Patented • Ecocert/COSMOS, Ecolabel, 100% Biobased (ACDV) 14

Sulfoacetate Blend • Aqua (and) Pentylene Glycol (and) Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (and) Sodium Oleoyl Sarcosinate (and) Sodium Chloride (and) Disodium Sulfoacetate (and) Sodium Oleate (and) Sodium Sulfate • 55% solids in water • Low foaming • Low color • Patent pending • Primarily PEG-free, no NGO approvals 15

Natural Glucosides Blend • Caprylyl/Capryl Wheat Bran/Straw Glycosides (and) Aqua (and) Fusel Wheat Bran/Straw Glycosides (and) Polyglyceryl-5 Oleate (and) Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate (and) Glyceryl Caprylate • 70% active in water • Moderate foam • Amber color • Suggested formulation pH 4.5 – 7.5 • Ecocert/COSMOS 16

Polyglycerol Ester Blend • Polyglyceryl-4 Caprylate (and) Decyl Glucoside (and) Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate (and) Diglycerin (and) Water • X% active in water • Moderate foam • Low color • Suggested formulation pH > 7 • Ecocert/COSMOS 17

Polyglyceryl Esters • Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate (and) Polyglyceryl-4 Caprylate (and) Polyglyceryl-4 Cocoate (and) Polyglyceryl-6 Ricinoleate • 100% active in water • Low color • Low foam 18

Conclusions • Naturally derived fragrance solubilizers with broad regulatory, NGO approvals increasing • Non-ethoxylated options offer similar, if not better performance than traditional offerings • Formulators must be mindful of advantages and drawbacks for each technology 24
