Trade Name Cegesoft® SB Description The new Shea butter is delivered in a natural form that doesn't compromise on quality. It is a white to slightly off-white, semi solid, almost odourless wax, ideal for "green" concepts and for all products where a high concentration of Shea butter is required. The melting point of Cegesoft® SB corresponds to the normal body temperature which causes it to melt on the skin; leaving the skin feeling soft and velvety – even at a smaller concentration in an emulsion.

Trade Name Cutina® PES Description Cutina® PES challenges standard consistency waxes such as Cetearyl Alcohol and Glyceryl Stearate by building up good viscosity and stability of o/w emulsion with different emulsifier systems (ionic/non-ionic), while at the same time also creating a non-waxy, caring skin feel. This applies for emulsifier-free formulations based on emulsifying polymers as well as for those containing emulsifiers of different types including EO–free, APG based systems. As Cutina® PES shows highest flexibility in use with regard to formulation ingredients it is suitable for a huge number of skin care applications and the different skin care market segments.
