StarDesign™ Power by Cargill Beauty is composed of two starch technologies extracted from waxy corn.  It is a new optimized & patented complex developed using hydrophilic & lipophilic modified starches. That non soluble starch granule adsorbs at the interface which is characteristic of a “Pickering-like” behaviour that allows a strong stability for a high oil content emulsion over time and at different temperatures. StarDesign™ Power is one of more powerful emulsifiers of the market for high oil content up to 60% whatever the polarity giving unique sensory.

StarDesign™ Power creates a high oil content formula that brings hydration properties to the skin without any active ingredients and without any occlusive effect.

Strong viscosity increases by increasing the % of oil. This performance is unique due to the specific 3D network promoted by StarDesign™ Power. Unique propriety can be achieved by combining StarDesign™ Power with Emultop™ Velvet IP: fluid texture with high oil content.

Grapeseed Oil Crude or Deodorised (Organic)

Throughout history grapes have long been used by humans. They have enjoyed the health and beauty benefits in abundance that this plant has to offer. From simply the delicious taste of a fresh grape plucked from the vine, or a glass of indulgent wine, there is so much more that this ancient fruit has to offer.

The area where the grapes are grown in South African are from a very old culture that was planted in the late 1600. The crop is harvested from February to April. This takes place in the early morning when the sugars are perfect. The crops are all hand-picked to ensure the best quality grapes are harvested only. From the seeds of the grapes, a cold pressed extra virgin oil is extracted, that is directly manufactured at the facility of our Grapeseed Oil supplier.

No additional ingredients or inputs are used, the soil is kept healthy thanks to an organic program in place and specialized viticulturists. Moreover, very little water is needed for the crops.

Mainly used as an emollient for skin care products, Grapeseed Oil is suitable for many cosmetic applications extending to hair care.

It is described as a light, smooth, very fluid and very spreadable oil. It is quick penetrating while delivering a dry skin feel.

Thanks to its high content of omega-6 (C18:2 Linoleic Acid), the main fatty acid here, and the presence of omega 9 (C18:1 Oleic Acid), it is claimed to soften and promote the skin elasticity. It also contains unsaponifiable such as tocopherol and some polyphenolic compounds such as flavonoids, well known for their antioxidant properties.
