Hydresia™ Dulcé offers unique aesthetic performance benefits

Botaneco Specialty Ingredients Inc. has announced the launch of Hydresia Dulcé

(INCI: Prunus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oleosomes + Glycerin + Water) at the InCosmetics 2009 exposition in Munich on April 21st. Hydresia Dulcé, a natural emulsion base isolated from sweet almonds, retains all of the functional properties of Botaneco’s safflower derived Hydresia™ and Hydresia™ G2 while additionally offering the skin feel benefits of sweet almond oil. Hydresia Dulcé has already been authorized by ECOCERT^® as an approved raw material, complying with the standards for ecological and organic cosmetics and is identified as 99.55% natural by the organization.

“With the launch of Dulcé we are offering our customers another way to benefit from the unique properties of Oleosomes,” said Botaneco President and C.E.O. Andrew Baum. “Almond Oleosomes will further enhance our customer’s ability to develop products with superior aesthetics and moisturization in a natural format.”

Hydresia™ Dulcé, as well as Hydresia™ and Hydresia™ G2, allow personal care, OTC and topical pharmaceutical formulators to develop new products using “cold-processing” which reduces formulation and processing time dramatically. Botaneco’s proprietary ingredients Hydresia™, Hydresia™ G2, and now Hydresia™ Dulcé are natural emulsifiers comprised of Oleosomes, natural oil carrying structures derived from seeds.

Oleosomes are nature’s storage facility for the emollient oils, antioxidants and natural moisture barriers that serve to keep the skin soft, supple and young looking. Using a proprietary non-solvent aqueous extraction process, these Oleosomes are isolated from the seed fully intact, and when used in skin care applications can provide lasting protection to the skin. Hydresia™, Hydresia™ G2, and Hydresia™ Dulcé are natural, renewable replacements for hydrocarbon derived petrolatum, mineral oil and non-ionic surfactants.
