Tripelargonin/Emotion light is a sustainable choice for formulators as a unique ester to be largely employed in cosmetic formulations as softening and smoothing agents. Due to their outstanding properties in terms of solubilization and dispersion of UV filters and pigments, esters turn out to be particularly suitable for sun care and make-up applications. In lipsticks and mascaras, Tripekargonin has been proved to confer high color intensity to the formulation, tint homogeneity, good texture, bright and glossy effect.  It is used in most applications as skincare, make-up, sun care, and hair care. Nowadays, several categories of esters are in the eye of the storms because of their food chain origin. To avoid that, esters’ producers have two different choices: to reduce environmental impact by using vegetable oils from a controlled supply chain or to produce by starting from different sources. Tripelargonin is a proactive alternative esters coming from European renewable crops. An industrial plant, completely converted to “green chemistry” allows the creation of high-purity Pelargonic acid (above 98%) from cardoon seed extract, by local cultivar in marginal lands. EMotion represents the ethical choice for formulators looking at reaching remarkable sustainable results in the formulation. This product enriches the formula’s texture with a pleasant natural touch and with a positive Environmental-friendly impact (readily biodegradable according to OECD 301 method).
