The Florasolvs group of ingredients includes five botanically-derived products that work especially well in high-clarity applications in skin, hair and toiletry applications. Derived from either Jojoba, Sunflower or Macadamia Oil, these products combine natural origins with the efficacy of traditional emollients, solubilizers and secondary emulsifiers.
Get the Benefits of Natural, High-Performance Functionality
Hallstar offers the leading platform of functional naturals. Our portfolio applies advanced technology to naturally derived ingredients from sources such as fruits and leaves. The fatty acid composition of our functional naturals closely matches that of human skin, allowing for light, nourishing ingredients with exceptional sensoriality. The result is products that can support both natural and functional claims, with benefits backed by rigorous clinical tests.
| Functional Bases
Hallstar’s biomimetic emulsifiers generate liquid crystal structures that mimic the stratum corneum organization of the skin, providing deep moisturization with excellent spreadability. Functional bases form fluid (even sprayable) lotions or enhance the texture and viscosity of formulations, improving emulsion stability, sensorial profile and dermatological compatibility. Our newest cold process emulsifier, Olivem® 2090, is a water-in-oil, nature-derived ingredient. |
|
| Water-Soluble Emollients
Our water-soluble emollients offer sebum recovering (refatting) activities for distinctive skin smoothness and long-term moisturizing upon rinsing of cleansers. |
|
| Dermollients
Hallstar’s botanically-derived dermollients have a fatty acid content that chemically mimics that of the hydrolipidic film of the skin, with exceptional skin compatibility. Our dermollients deliver various effects, which may include an elegant, silicone-like or silky touch while improving skin’s hydration, elasticity and barrier functions. |
|
| Surfactants
Our mild surfactants act as primary cleansers in facial wipes or as secondary surfactants in foaming skin cleaners for greater skin compatibility. |
|
| Stabilizing Agents
Hallstar stabilizing agents, derived from natural olive chemistry, can solve compatibility issues and are suitable for use in a variety of beauty and personal care applications. They appear as flaked wax but have different chemical structures that satisfy diverse formulating needs. |
Solutions for Functional Naturals
The Olivem® line of ingredients is designed by combining the biocompatibility properties of natural olive chemistry and Hallstar's technical expertise to deliver superior benefits to formulations.
The Oliwax® line combines natural olive chemistry with Hallstar’s expertise in personal care ingredients and applications. This combination provides options to structure, stabilize and in some cases imparts additional sensory attributes through promotion of liquid crystal structures.
Sensolene is a line of dermollients combining unique sensoriality with strong clinical benefits for the skin. The Sensolene concept is based on building blocks that specific alcohol generates different sensorial profiles based on chain length and branching.
This line of gentle, natural origin surfactants is the newest brand in our product portfolio. Like our other Functional Naturals, bio-based Surfinesse ingredients leverage Hallstar’s expertise in olive oil chemistry.
