Sustainably Delivering Luxurious Aesthetics & Sensorial Profiles to Personal Care Formulations

Verdant have developed innovative methods for sustainably delivering desirable aesthetics and sensorial properties to a wide range of Personal Care formulations, whilst also enhancing functionality and performance. The MACKPEARL® Liquid Pearliser range provides a means of bringing high shine pearlescence to formulations (e.g. shampoos and body washes) but in a more sustainable way than traditional solid pearlisers. Due to their liquid nature, these MACKPEARL® products can be easily dispersed into formulations through cold process and simple agitation, which brings time, energy and cost savings to the formulator. The characteristics of the resulting pearlescence is tunable, with some MACKPEARL® products bringing a shiny, more translucent pearl, others bringing a more opaque pearl, whilst a handful provide pearl-free opacity. The MACKPEARL® Pearlisers not only bring a luxurious aesthetic to formulations, but they also bring secondary benefits, such as viscosity building and foam boosting, whilst the compositional flexibility of the range means that formulators can further meet the consumer’s sustainably needs, with sulfate-free, EO-free and alkanolamide-free options all being available.

The MACKSPEC™ OCC range are fully formulated performance concentrates that can again be introduced into formulations without the need for additional heat. They allow for high levels of natural oils (up to 30%) to be incorporated into a formulation, providing excellent sensorial benefits and long-lasting hydration and moisturisation to the end user. In a similar vein to the MACKPEARL® range, due to being composed of mild surfactants, they bring secondary benefits to the formulator, including a rich, creamy and stable foam, whilst also having the ability to suspend oils and beads in the formulation.
