Aristoflex® Eco T – Clariant raises the bar for performance of biodegradable rheology modifiers

Details

  • New rheology modifier Aristoflex Eco T is a next-generation patented technology that combines performance of synthetic polymers with the environmental profile of biopolymers
  • Aristoflex Eco T delivers strong thickening and stabilizing performance while also being readily biodegradable and naturally derived, with a renewable carbon index (RCI) of 71%
  • Provides skincare formulators the chance to offer outstanding rheology without having to trade off on biodegradability

This new rheology modifier Aristoflex Eco T, provides skincare formulators the opportunity to make luxurious, pleasant texture formulations without compromise on biodegradability. 

Rheology modifiers are a key ingredient in skincare formulations. They influence texture, viscosity and formulation stability, and have an impact on skin feel and overall sensorial experience. Traditionally, synthetic polymers offer good performance but are not natural or biodegradable. Conversely, natural biopolymers often suffer performance drawbacks that can present a challenge to formulators aiming to create products with luxurious textures and skin feel.

Clariant aims to provide the beauty industry with increasingly environmentally sustainable and natural ingredients, while reducing the compromise on performance. Aristoflex Eco T is the first modified biopolymer approaching the performance of synthetics while also being readily biodegradable and naturally derived. Formulators require high-performance alternatives to synthetic rheology modifiers and Aristoflex Eco T delivers.

The new rheology modifier is readily biodegradable having a renewable carbon index (RCI) of 71%.

Aristoflex Eco T can be used across a range of applications including facial creams, body lotions and skin serums. It also works well in sun care products containing organic and mineral UV Filters due to the ability to stabilize pigments and olis.
