Project Pragati

The Rambutan program In Vietnam

BASF Beauty Creations is on the constant lookout for what nature can offer. We believe that its infinite resources and miracles are within our reach if we respect and protect it. While working with a local long-time partner in Vietnam, BASF initiated the exploration of rambutan tree’s various cosmetic properties. With the ambition to ensure a sustainable use of the resource and generate a positive impact on the supply chain development, this program would trigger a real social and environmental engagement.

Protecting our skin from UV light and blue light.

Exposure to UV light from the sun as well as blue light from electronic devices can be damaging to the skin and accelerate skin aging. The team at BASF Care Creations bring you innovative solutions such as Z-COTE® zinc oxide mineral UV filters in a variety of formats and Ciste'M™ - an active-containing extract from rockrose flowers.

Cosmedia^® Ace

BASF Personal Care introduces Cosmedia® Ace by Care Creations - a new innovative skin care ingredient that offers strong emulsifying properties with elegant textures and velvety skin after feel. This liquid dispersion polymer demonstrates a strong thickening ability across a broad PH range and can be added easily to any stage of a formulation, hot or cold.

Back to Basics - Rheology Modifiers

At BASF Care Creations we understand the need for formulation expertise. In this video, we will take a trip back to basics and explore the use of Rheology Modifiers in thick styling products. Rheology modifiers are polymers commonly used in hair styling products to provide changes in product texture and thickening. This video will discuss the swelling mechanism of ionic and non-ionic polymers. Although we will discuss the macroscopic behavior of the polymer in the absence and presence of a neutralizer, we will also discuss the behavior of the polymers in the molecular level. The mechanisms will be illustrated by BASF thickening polymers in aqueous solutions. We will then highlight liquid dispersion polymers, or LDPs, ready-made blends of hydrophilic, swell-able polymer micro-particles; a lipophilic carrier; and an emulsifier. LDPs facilitate the cold-processing of emulsions by taking the “guess-work” out of mixing the correct ratios of emulsifiers, emollients, and thickeners. Similarly to thickening polymers, a sample BASF LDP product will be used to thicken an aqueous solution.
