Croda Inc has just launched two new products under the
names CrodaDerm S and CrodaDerm B. These names are distinct from other esters
that Croda sells and for good reason. CrodaDerms are sucrose-derived esters
that have the traditional properties of other emollients but also have other
outstanding properties:
-
Outstanding film forming (positively impacts
barrier function & moisturization)
-
Proven suppleness
-
Wash resistance
-
Wear resistance
-
Viscosity enhancer (CrodaDerm B)
-
Gel former (CrodaDerm B)
A panel study was conducted using a Gas Bearing Electrodynamometer (GBE) to
measure any changes in skin suppleness. The results of that study compare a
simple oil-in-water emulsion containing a 2% blend of CrodaDerm B and CrodaDerm
S at a 1:2.5 ratio against a leading commercial cleansing wipe-off milk. The
ratio appears to optimize the beneficial effect of the CrodaDerms in such
formulations.
It is believed that the small amount of surfactant in the commercial product may
have had a stripping effect on the skin and therefore be partially responsible
for a loss of suppleness as measured below.
