Minimalist Lipid Blends (Bulk, B2B)

Essentika is our library of minimal, compatible lipid blends engineered to establish asensorial window (texture, spreadability, absorption) from day one and reducevariables at concept stage. With squalane at the core, this architecture helpsteams move from idea to validated prototype faster, with documentation ready for transfer.

Technical clarity from the start

  • Short INCI & guided handling for predictable behavior.
  • Pre-tuned sensorial profiles to speed up prototyping and reduce back-and-forth.
  • Compatibility with esters and silicones for technical flexibility; the ISO 16128 natural index depends on the final matrix.
  • Lab-to-plant continuity through selected manufacturing partner, with process criteria and transfer notes.

Specs at a glance (for formulators)

  • Application formats: O/W, W/O, anhydrous.
  • Typical dosage: 10–50% (optimize per matrix and sensorial target).
  • Compatibility focus: esters, silicones, triglycerides; common A/Os.
  • Stability tools: Rancimat/Oxitest support, accelerated conditions, freeze–thaw.
  • Documentation: TDS/FT, CoA, SDS, and statements available on request.

Core Base Blends

Essentika establishes the technical baseline we then enrich (SEQUENZIA) and validate (Editions). Control first, then speed.

ESS BASIK

Function: Neutral, antioxidant-forward emollient base to support oxidative stability across formats.
Why use it: Provides a clean starting point for lipid phases wheresensitivity to oxidation is a constraint.
Where it fits: O/W, W/O, and anhydrous systems requiring light emolliency and smooth spread.
Notes for scale-up: Predictable handling; supports early rheologylock-in when paired with your chosen Edition.A minimalist, antioxidant-forward base that helps protect sensitive lipids and bolster oxidative stability across formats. It maintains lightweight emolliency and excellent spread, easing scale-up in O/W, W/O, and anhydrous systems.

ESS CALM

Function:High-purity calming system with antioxidant reserve for comfortable, low-dragsensorial profiles.
Why use it: Helps maintain a composed sensory experience in routinesdesigned for reactive contexts, without heaviness.
Where it fits: Daily moisturizers, serums, and after-care concepts thatneed gentle, uniform pay-off.
Notes for scale-up: Blends in cleanly; maintains finish consistency across pilot batches.

ESS SILK

Function: Synergistic emollient blend with “silk-glide” slip and a refined satin finish.
Why use it: Enhances spread and pay-off while keeping textures elegantand non-heavy.
Where it fits: Color, sun, and treatment bases where refined glide andfinish are non-negotiable.
Notes for scale-up: Maintains sensorial consistency across fill temperatures.

ESS GLOW

Function: Controlled technical sheen with robust oxidative reserve for long-wear orheat-exposed runs.
Why use it: Elevates film uniformity and maintains texture fidelityunder stress.
Where it fits: Premium creams, balms, hair treatments needing a velvetycushion and stable finish.
Notes for scale-up: Supports film integrity in higher-temperature processing.

ESS OLIVE

Function: Olive-inspired lipid architecture with a fast, clean dry-down and daily-wearafter-feel.
Why use it: Efficient lipophilic carrier that distributes oils andoil-soluble actives evenly.
Where it fits: Lightweight day creams, serums, and leave-ons builtaround a Mediterranean lipid narrative.
Notes for scale-up: Helps reconcile light textures with uniform actives dispersion.

ESS DRY

Function: Plant-based, ultra-dry-touch alternative to volatile silicones.
Why use it: Delivers immediate glide with a weightless after-feel andreduced residual tack.
Where it fits: Sprays, serums, leave-ons, face/body/hair formats where a quick-drying finish is key.
Notes for scale-up: Useful as a sensorial corrector in bases with high actives load.

Workflow

How We Work With You

  • Brief & constraints. Define success metrics, guardrails, and documentation needs.
  • Edition selection. Pre-set HLB route, pH window, and rheology targets early.
  • Pilot & transfer. Finalize CPPs/CTQs, confirm packaging compatibility, prepare transfer dossier in coordination with your CM.
  • Post-launch evolution. Monitor, adjust, and iterate without breaking the sensorial window.
  • Prototype & gate. Validate through SEQUENZIA  gates with stability/compatibility evidence.

Regulatory & Technical Library

Documentation & Support

  • Technical file set: TDS/FT, CoA, SDS, and supporting statements.
  • Regulatory backbone: ISO 16128 baseline, REACH status and CLP compliance statement, ISO 11930 planning for prototypes (final cosmetic test remains the client’s responsibility).
  • Stability & performance: Accelerated stability profiles, Oxitest/Rancimat support, handling guidance.
  • Supply format: Bulk only; not for direct skin application or retail sale.
