Frequently Asked Questions
What is Uniox Cristal, and what is its concept as a fourth-generation cosmeceutical vehicle?
Uniox Cristal is a plant-derived, nonionic self-emulsifying wax designed for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions.
It represents the fourth generation of cosmeceutical vehicles (“smart bases”), in which the formulation base goes beyond simply acting as a carrier for active ingredients and begins to provide active skin care benefits.
This technology combines stability, compatibility, safety, and highly effective moisturization.
What is the composition and suggested INCI Name of Uniox Cristal?
Uniox Cristal consists of a blend of sucrose fatty acid esters derived from fatty alcohols and polyols.
The suggested INCI Name is Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Polysorbate 60 (and) Cetearyl Glucoside.
How does the lyotropic liquid crystal structure formed by Uniox Cristal work?
Uniox Cristal has the ability to form lyotropic liquid crystals, organized into a series of lamellar bilayers of emulsifier molecules surrounding the oil droplets.
This rigid structure prevents droplet coalescence, ensuring high physicochemical stability of the emulsion.
