The New Generation Of Cosmetics
The products of Carbogreen Platform form stable polymeric structures capable of retaining large quantities of water that increase viscosity of cosmetic formulas with a unique texture. This exclusive technological platform developed by ASSESSA, allows the formation of Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (Interpenetrating Polymer Networks – IPN) using polysaccharides of botanical origin.
- CARBOGREEN EA is rapidly absorbed by skin, is 100% natural and doesn’t require any synthetic co-ingredient, such as alkalis or electrolytes, and can be used in formulas for sensitive skin.
- Carbogreen is a texturizer with coemulsifying properties that presents unique sensory in the skin and hair, with fast drying, film formation and excellent spreadability.
- Benefits
- Co Emulsifier, Sensory Agent/Texturizer
- Main Benefits
Low Tack, without an Oily Touch
Carbogreen EA adds texture with low tack, without an oily touch. Carbogreen EA provides a rich and nutritious feeling, with good spreadability.
- Carbogreen is a texturizer with coemulsifying properties that presents unique sensory in the skin and hair, with fast drying, film formation and excellent spreadability.
- Carbogreen range is made of 100%botanical sources and is fully biodegradable.
- Does NOT need neutralizers.
- Meets international CHINA and REACH standards.
- It is very simple to use. It does not require expensive high-shear stirrers and does not form lumps in the solution.
- Is NOT a source of hidden pollution.

InstructionsCarbogreen requires heating from 40°C to 80°C. The viscosity of the final product is directly proportional to the temperature.
- Add water at room temperature in a container with good stirring (500 to 800 rpm) using propeller (helix, dissolver or turbine). Different stirring speeds may be needed, depending on the propeller type and container volume or geometry.
- Add slowly, dispersing Carbogreen with stirring.
- After adding Carbogreen, start heating until the desired final temperature (between 40°C and 80°C) while stirring.
- If the formula has other ingredients in the water phase, like glycols, add them before the dispersion of Carbogreen.
- Heat the final solution to a temperature between 40°C and 80°C (5 to 10 min).
- Allow cooling.
- Mix the remaining ingredients of the formula at the recommended temperature.
