Bringing waste products back to life: the green turn for cosmetics

Bringing waste products back to life:
the green turn for cosmetics

Imagine being able to create natural and sustainable creams, using ingredients from residual vegetable oils that would otherwise be destined for thermal destruction. Our company, Isuschem, has taken a step toward a greener and more innovative future.

Summer has made its triumphant transition, and now it is time to focus on how to protect and care for skin that has faced the scorching sun. Sunscreens have become indispensable, not exclusively for vacations, but also for the daily skin care routine. It is not just a matter of aesthetics; it is a matter of health. The damage caused by UV rays is real, and the cosmetics industry is tasked with offering advanced solutions that go beyond traditional sunscreen . In this context, Isuschem stands out as a pioneer in sustainable innovation. For companies in the skin care, hair care and sunscreen industries, innovation is key to staying abreast of market needs and satisfying increasingly environmentally conscious consumers.

How to ensure maximum effectiveness of these sunscreens?

That’s where Isuschem comes in with a pioneering approach, turning waste products into high-quality ingredients for personal care products.
After years of laboratory research and treatment of waste vegetable oils in particular:

from restaurant fry-ups
From non-food crops, so from plants such as tobacco, thistle and safflower

Our bio-ingredients go as far as providing 30 percent more solvent power than average. This means that our formula provides a greater ability to dissolve sunscreens, allowing for even distribution of the product on the skin and rapid absorption.
The result. A sunscreen that is highly effective in protecting against solar radiation.

But why is solvent power so crucial?

Some key points:

Homogeneity and stability:

Solvent power ensures even mixing of all sunscreen ingredients and keeps the formula stable over time. The result is a smooth product that applies evenly to the skin, keeping its protective properties intact.

Distribution of active ingredients:

Some active ingredients in sunscreens, such as UV filters or moisturizing agents, may have low solubility in formula components. The use of a potent solvent improves the solubility of these ingredients, ensuring even distribution on the skin during sunscreen application.

Skin penetration:

An appropriate solvent promotes penetration of the ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin, allowing them to perform their protective or moisturizing action more effectively.

Dryness and feel on the skin:

Some solvents have the ability to evaporate quickly, giving the sunscreen a light, non-greasy texture on the skin.

Improving the effectiveness of sunscreens:

The solvent power helps dissolve organic sunscreens, thereby improving their ability to absorb and disperse harmful UV rays. The result is superior sun protection.
