DOW CORNING HY-3050 SOY WAX

DOW CORNING HY-3051 SOY WAX BLENDCreative formulating options for skin care, color cosmetics,

hair care and underarm products

Today more than ever, formulators

need new ingredient alternatives.

Natural products remain popular, and

economic realities point to the

need for sustainable materials.

Meanwhile, function and sensory

properties are foremost

consumers expect superior

performance from natural productswithout sacrificing benefits like

moisturization, emolliency and aesthetics.

Natural solutionsDow Cornings soy-based waxes bring new formulating

options (Table 1).

Dow Corning HY-3050 Soy Wax

A soft wax that can be used as a structurant for a range

of cosmetic oils. Semi-occlusive on the skin; can act as

conditioning agent for moisturization and emolliency.

Petrolatum has a long history as a widely-used, low-cost

ingredient in personal care products. Although future

availability may be limited and costs higher, formulators

have not had an acceptable alternative until now:

Dow Corning HY-3051 Soy Wax Blend

A blend ofDow Corning HY-3050 Soy Wax and

hydrogenated soybean oil. Can be used as an alternative

to petrolatum. Semi-occlusive on the skin; also imparts

smoothness. As a hair conditioning agent, can be use

to add shine and control frizz.

The performance andflexibility you need

Dow Corning HY-3050 Soy Wax can form a

more pliable stick or soft solid compared to

other waxes (Figure 1). To achieve the level

of hardness you need, simply increase its

concentration. Structuring possibilities are

almost endless; the wax is compatible with a

broad range of cosmetic oils.

Skin moisturization withDow Corning HY-305

Soy Wax Blend and petrolatum is comparable

over six hours (Figure 2). In a prototype skinlotion, sensory characteristics of the two

materials are similarbut the soy wax blend

imparts a smoother feel with better slip after

absorption (Figure 3).

For even greater flexibility and synergy, add

Dow Cornings silicones for improved benefits

and the distinctive silicone feel.
