The Versagel HSQ product (Versagel HSQ 200T) offers a silicone-free alternative to oil-based and emulsion formulas. The gelled structure is based on Hemisqualane (C13-15 Alkane) combined with patented block copolymer technology. Hemisqualane is a non-volatile emollient derived from plant sugar and is inherently biodegradable, ECOCERT-approved, NPA Natural Seal Certified, and a USDA Certified bio-based product. It provides a light, non-greasy and silky feel, and serves as an effective alternative to petroleum and silicone- based ingredients. The gelled version provides additional benefits of a rheology modifier and a suspension agent for a wide range of cosmetic and personal care applications.

See this product in action in the VersaGroom multifunctional 2-in-1 hair and skin treatment formulation!

Properties

Efficacy testing of a Versagel Hemisqualane hair serum formulation (VG HSQ) demonstrated that VG HSQ improves key properties such as shine and frizz compared to a commercial benchmark (Frizz Ease) which had a high silicone content. Shine Improvement was measured using a Samba instrument while Frizz Reduction was measured via curl reversion after humidity chamber exposure.

Applications for Versagel HSQ

  • Hair Care: colorants, treatments, styling products, serums, oils, creams, moisturizers
  • Color Cosmetics: lip gloss, foundations, fluid illuminators
  • Skin Care: creams, cleansers, makeup removers, lotions, balms, moisturizers, butters
  • Sun Care: sunblock/sunscreen

It’s time for a better glycol. Safe + pure

Brontide is a natural butylene glycol of high purity (>99.7%). Made from renewable, non-GMO plant sugars, it contains no heavy metals at detectable levels

and has been shown in clinical studies to be non irritating at levels of up to 40% in formulations. It integrates into current formulations without sacrificing

quality or or the need for reformulation.

Naturally sourced Brontide butylene glycol is a high-performance ingredient used in a variety of personal care and cosmetic applications. It can also be used

as a solvent and stabilizer for extracts and actives. Personal care formulators no longer have to sacrifice performance for natural origin.

  • Conforms to ISO 16128-1 as Natural Ingredient with a natural index of 1
  • 100% Biobased; USDA Certified BioPreferred Program

Brontide natural butylene glycol is functionally identical to traditionally produced butylene glycol in personal care

applications. Use it as a drop-in replacement in existing formulations. To determine functional equivalency, Genomatica

used third-party laboratories to conduct comparative performance testing of the primary functional benefits.

As a multi-functional ingredient, it also stands up as the best in class for sensory experience by achieving superior

performance scores in the positive attribute categories of gloss/shine, spreadability and slipperiness with comparable performance in afterfeel and rub out.

Brontide is made in Europe from an innovative fermentation process which converts non-GMO plant sugars into an

ultra high purity butylene glycol, eliminating the need to use crude oil as a feedstock. Furthermore Genomatica carried out a life cycle assessment

(ISO:14040:2006) to quantify our environmental impact compared to petroleum-based butylene glycol that was peer-reviewed by an independent panel.

The impacts of Brontide natural butylene glycol are vastly lower.

What happens when you replace petroleum-derived butylene glycol with Brontide?

The fermentation process used to create Brontide, reduces global warming potential by 50% compared to a petroleum-based butylene glycol production

process. The production process used to create Brontide, uses 46% less non-renewable energy than the petroleum-based butylene glycol production process.

The seeds are not sterilized nor fumigated. It is highly suitable for cosmetics and toiletries due to its light color and mild odor.

Pumpkin seed oil has traditionally been used in Chinese medicine, and more recently in nutraceuticals since it is especially known for its high content of nutrients believed to be beneficial in maintaining a healthy prostate in men. This oil is also known to contain phytosterols and omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids, all beneficial to good cellular health.

Biochemica® Pumpkin Oil Refined Organic may be used in body care, soaps, facial creams, lotions and sunscreens to impart moisturization, particularly for dry, damaged skin (e.g., with eczema or psoriasis). Due to its great emolliency, it also makes for a very good massage oil, increasing the “play time” on the skin.

Suggested use levels are balms: 4 – 10%; body lotions & creams: 4 – 10%; topical ointments, nail treatments and after-sun products: up to 10%; hair conditioners: 3 – 5%; bar soaps: 2 – 7%; and hand and foot care products: up to 3%.
