Prolix RB®
In Harmony with Nature
Functionalized emulsifying system
CHARACTERISTICS
FOCUS INFO
PROLIX RB® is a non ionic emulsifier in harmony
with nature, which meets the requirements of a
market that prefers gentle products with
outstanding properties, respectful of the skin and
its environment.
INCI NAME
PROLIX RB® is an innovative combination of a special
polyglyceryl derivative of fatty acids from rice bran
oil neutralized with arginine, specially balanced to
offer outstanding emulsifying properties. The
particular linkage between hydrophilic part and the
lipophilic fatty chain gives the molecule perfect
stability and excellent resistance to hydrolysis.
It forms particularly fresh and light O/W emulsions
that are pleasantly velvety to the touch and
enriched with the eudermic functional properties of
rice bran oil.

FEATURES
HYDRA DAILY CREAM
LSIN4602*
PROLIX RB® responds to the current market trends
by offering a natural, pure, product whilst retaining
its skin-feel benefits of smoothness and lightness
with excellent spreadability.
• No ethylene oxide and chemical reagent or
organic solvents
• creates organized systems in liquid crystal
lamellar structures
• no use of other co-emulsifiers
• enhanced moisturizing effect
TECHNICAL BENEFITS
• A wide range of cosmetics oils, including mineral,
vegetable and silicone oils, can be used without
affecting the stability of the emulsion.
• Creams and milks can be produced by simply
adjusting the PROLIX RB® concentration.
• Possibility to formulate stable creams with a 100%
vegetable origin.
• Very small PROLIX RB® quantities are enough to
emulsify oils and other lipophilic ingredients, even
in presence of large quantities of oily substances.
• Emulsions obtained have a thixotropic nature
which is relatively slight, especially in comparison
with traditional, ethoxylated, self-emulsifying
bases.
• Stable creams can be realized without using
thickening agents or specific additives
• In sun care products PROLIX RB® has proved to be
not effected by the presence of liposoluble filters
and silicon oils.
• Very good toxicological profile.
