NIKKOL Nikkomulese® 41S

Lamellar gel network emulsifier for water-resistant O/W sunscreen.

INCI name: BEHENYL ALCOHOL, POLYGLYCERYL-10 PENTASTEARATE, SODIUM STEAROYL LACTYLATE

Keep SPF by Water-proof Film

NIKKOL Nikkomulese® 41S is a natural O/W emulsifier complex and enables gel network structure for stabilizing oil particles. SPF water resistance was measured in vivo on sunscreen creams emulsified with NIKKOL Nikkomulese® 41 and EO after immersing in water for 40 minutes. Sunscreen with NIKKOL Nikkomulese® 41 kept 94% of the SPF score, showing high water-resistance. In addition, when the sweat-proof property of the sunscreen film was evaluated in vitro, SEM images showed that a film was maintained.

  • In-vivo SPF score after 40 min (Tested by US FDA water resistance method)
  • Sweat-proof Result (in-house method)

*These tests are conducted by using sunscreen with NIKKOL Nikkomulese® 41 grade.

Natural Film Former with Inorganic UV Filter

Because oil particles containing organic absorbents and inorganic filters are dispersed between the gel network structures, when applied to the skin, it spreads evenly and effectively blocks UV rays. In addition, the gel network structure beneficially prevents transepidermal water loss for moisturizing efficacy.

Tested Mineral Sunscreen Formula

Herbal UV Protection Milk, SPF32 PA++ (in-vivo, 3 subjects)
・Natural Origin Index =99% (Including water, ISO16128 compliant)

Soft and smoothly spreading sunscreen milk. Clear finish without leaving white cast. Macadamia nut oil and natural derived squalane give emollient. Formulate high ratio of natural origin ingredients.

When using a fine particle UV mineral filter with a hydrophobic surface, combining it with the anionic surfactant NIKKOL SMT* improves powder dispersibility due to the repulsive force of the static electricity of the load, making it easier to create a stable emulsion.

NIKKOL Nikkomulese® LC-EF

Skin mimetic emulsifier that can improve skin barrier function.

INCI name: STEARYL ALCOHOL, BEHENYL ALCOHOL, PHYTOSTEROLS, GLYCERYL STEARATE, POLYGLYCERYL-10 MYRISTATE, HYDROGENATED LECITHIN, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE

Second Skin Structure Hydrate for 24h

NIKKOL Nikkomulese® LC-EF is a natural O/W complex emulsifier that forms a lamellar liquid crystal structure similar to lipid bilayer, improving barrier function and providing excellent moisturizing effect.
Since the lamellar structure can be maintained even at various temperatures (28-40 ℃) and in the presence of salt, NIKKOL Nikkomulese® LC-EF can create a very stable lamellar structure.

Second Skin Structure Hydrate for 24h
Suppression Effect on Barrier Function Deterioration

Lamellar cream applied to skin showed significantly better TEWL than that of the control cream.
It was confirmed that cream with NIKKOL Nikkomulese® LC-EF significantly improved the barrier function and epidermal water content.

NIKKOL Nikkomulese® LH

Cellulose-based emulsifying complex with good salt tolerance.

INCI name: Glycerin, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Stearoxy Ether, Squalane, Sodium Methyl Stearoyl Taurate

Build Viscosity Even If Incorporating Mineral UV Filters

Tolerance to NaCl

NIKKOL Nikkomulese® LH is a natural O/W gel emulsifier and is salt-tolerant. Graph shows the viscosity of aqueous solution containing 4.5% NIKKOL Nikkomulese® LH was influenced less by adding NaCl than that of other polymer emulsifying complexes.
Since mineral UV filters affect viscosity built by polymer emulsifiers, this salt-tolerant property is essential for stable UV emulsions.

Mineral Sunscreen Formula

Sunscreen Cream

Mainly composed of light weight natural esters. NIKKOL Nikkomulese® LH provides viscosity and creamy texture.

NIKKOL SMT supports good dispersion of mineral filters.

NIKKOL Nikkomulese® WO-NS

Natural W/O emulsifier complex that allows cold-process formulas.

INCI name: POLYGLYCERYL-6 POLYRICINOLEATE, POLYGLYCERYL-2 ISOSTEARATE, DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE

Mineral Filter Dispersed in Oil Spreads and Adheres Closely

NIKKOL Nikkomulese® WO-NS is a natural W/O emulsifier that combines organically modified hectorite and polyglycerin fatty acid esters. W/O pickering emulsion is formed by organic hectorite, and water can be stably emulsified in oil. Non-silicone oils such as ester oils, vegetable oils, UV absorbers and hydrocarbon oils are suitable as oils phase and are perfect for silicone-free and natural concept formulations.
Because the outer oil phase contains polyglycerin fatty acid ester, which has excellent powder dispersibility, as a component, NIKKOL Nikkomulese® WO-NS alone can stably formulate inorganic UV filters. Since the outer phase is the oil phase, sunscreen cream adheres to the skin with a water-proof film.

Mineral Sunscreen Formula

Natural W/O Sunscreen

Only natural and mineral ingredients are applied in this W/O sunscreen cream. Rich texture adheres to skin and protect skin from UV rays.
