FSS Rice Lipids Plus

BACKGROUND

The 21st century has marked a steady increase in consumer awareness in regards to health conscious products. In part thanks to the calorie craze of the early 2000’s, consumers are paying careful attention to ingredient labels. Long chemical nomenclature is no longer acceptable as the mentality of “If I don’t recognize it, I’m not going to buy it” has taken hold. Formulators are now striving to develop more natural and naturally derived cosmetics with simple wholesome ingredients.

There are difficulties associated with this process, such as having to make concessions in terms of either product aesthetics or product function. FSS Rice Lipids Plus is able to provide both functional and aesthetic properties within a natural and understandable medium. These naturally forming lipids have been found to exhibit film forming properties, making them potent for preventing Trans-epidermal Water-loss (TEWL) which also leads to an increase in overall moisturization. Additionally, FSS Rice Lipids Plus has been found to be a superior binding agent for use in powdered products, useful for a variety of cosmetic applications.

SCIENCE

The use of rice derivatives in cosmetics is an excellent way to incorporate natural, active ingredients that have product driving consumer recognition. FSS Rice Lipids Plus have excellent film forming benefits and contribute to improvements in moisturization. The coefficient of permeability indicates that it will minimize TEWL, while the hydration potential confirms that FSS Rice Lipids Plus are an effective moisturizer. Waxes, silicones, oils and esters are typically used as binding agents, though the decision to use these products often varies. However, factors typically included in the consideration process are payoff, ease of spread-ability and specific company or market restrictions2

FSS Rice Lipids Plus was created for its versatility in formulations, an important property when working with raw materials. Specifically, as a binder in both liquid color cosmetics and powder based formulations, FSS Rice Lipids Plus can increase spread-ability whilst simultaneously proving moisturizing and antioxidant benefits for natural cosmetics. Having been standardized for Vitamin E, FSS Rice Lipids Plus is a potent antioxidant capabilities because Vitamin E is a powerful anti-oxidant that exists in eight forms. An important benefit of standardizing for Vitamin E is that it has the ability to regulate Vitamin A in the body, which itself is important for healthy skin. Additionally, because of its antioxidant activity, Vitamin E is vital in protecting skin cells from UV light, pollution, and other elements that produce cell-damaging free radicals3

BENEFITS

Due to the fact that free radicals play an important role in skin aging, the antioxidant activity is a desired benefit for skin care. When used as a binding system, FSS Rice Lipids Plus delivers ease of spread-ability to cosmetic preparations while also providing sufficient payoff in pressed powders. With its light weight and low viscosity, FSS Rice Lipids Plus can also be used as a binder in liquid color cosmetics as well. Its ease of use should also be taken into consideration, as unlike waxes, FSS Rice Lipids Plus does not need to be melted prior to use. There is an inverse relationship between barrier function and a coefficient of permeability. As a result, the low coefficient of permeability for FSS Rice Lipids Plus indicates that it is excellent for creating a barrier on the skin.
