Crodaderm B

Proven Viscosity Enhancer

Crodaderm B and Crodaderm S are two distinctive products in the Croda line of multifunctional emollient esters.  They are sucrose-derived esters that possess the traditional properties desired in an emollient, but they also possess some outstanding additional benefits such as film forming, imparting suppleness and wash and wear resistance. 

In addition to these, CRODADERM B, when blended with various emollients, forms stiff gels that will stay where applied and still have great skin feel.  As the art of forming thick, rich emulsions can be a challenge, this is an exceptionally useful benefit.  A table showing the rapidly increasing viscosities of blends created with increasing levels of CRODADERM B is below:

CRODADERM B BLENDS:

CRODAMOL GTCC (Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides) 95.0% 92.0% 90.0% 85.0% 80.0%
CRODADERM B 5.0% 8.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0%
Viscosity, cps1 7,400 11,600 15,000 142,600 200,000
CROMOLLIENT DP3A
(Di-PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Adipate)
95.0% 92.0% 90.0% 85.0% 80.0%
CRODADERM B 5.0% 8.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0%
Viscosity, cps1 9,600 32,000 50,400 NA2 NA2
1 Brookfield RVT, spindle TD, 10 rpm @ RT
2 Viscosity was higher than can be measured with testing apparatus
In both blend combinations, the viscosity ramped very quickly, but the gel made the skin soft, smooth and moisturized.
