▸ Penstia Powder is a novel polymer that imparts a silky, creamy feel to the finished product. It is a highly branched and terminated polyol crosslinked with a functional silicone,which provides elasticity and flexibility. The particles of Penstia Powder are porous spheres that allow for high oil loading, which is useful for active entrapment, stabilization and sebum absorption. These particles ‘roll’ rather than ‘drag’, adding exceptional slip to any formulation. The chemical composition of Penstia Powder gives it dry binding properties and also allows it to be used in both water and oil phases, resulting in improved formula stability and reduced tackiness.

Applications;

▸ Make Up (Foundation, Powders, Eye Shadow, Lipstick),

▸ Emulsion Products (Skin Care, Hair Care, Sun Care)


Formulation Guidelines;

▸ Penstia Powder can be formulated in the same manner as conventional cosmetic powders. High shear is generally recommended in creams and lotions. Penstia Powder has a synergistic effect with cyclic and linear silicones and low polar organic esters causing increased thickening. Wetting and mixing the product with these materials under rapid mixing will break up agglomerates and disperse the product. In powder applications, it is recommended to use spherical silica in the 1—3 micron range to balance dry flow characteristics with tactile appeal. DSP 250 silica is ideally suited for this purpose. To disperse Penstia Powder in water, it is necessary to disperse gum (xanthan, gum arabic, carbopol) before adding the powder. Penstia Powder can also be used in mild cleansing products, providing an elegant texture and gentle sebum absorption. The recommended use level of Penstia Powder is 3% to the desired effect.
