The Zenimer® Platform, Zenitechıs "X" group of products, is the exciting achievement of our efforts to alter the polarity and molecular flexibility of a class of compounds specifically developed to be multifunctional.

 Phase one of this breakthrough technology is the reaction of any natural oil into a compound suitable for skin care. Phase two is the development of a proprietary 6000-molecular-weight silicone. The final phase is the synergistic self-assembling combination of the separate compounds to form the "X" group of products.

 These high molecular weight compounds then function with superb barrier properties and act as couplers in O/W and W/O emulsions. They go clear into any formula, while creating a higher substantive, lubricious emollient tackiness.

The Zenitech "X family

  • Couples water/oil and oil/water emulsions
  • Improves emolliency and lubricity
  • High molecular weight = improved substantivity
  • Goes clear into formulas / water soluble
  • 100% active = total performance = reduced cost

Results of Hospital Study

 

 

 

These Butters are derived from all-natural ingredients and are the formulator's friend for skin care.

Zenibutter® technology allows us to alter the prolerties of our natural ingredients. Octyl Dodecanol is derived from colonut oil, and all waxes used in our process are USP quality and 100% pure. Oils derived from fruit, and nut oils, are cold-pressed to retain naturally occuring antioxidant and other attributes.

Our unique process, called "Zenibonding", results in compounds that offer unequaled flexibility to the formulator. They offer solutions to the demands of uniqueness and marketing.

Zenibee Cream® is the basis for the Zenibutter® technology. Naturally-derived Octyl Dodecanol and wax react to form a product that melts at body temperature, has superb barrier qualities, outstanding skin feel, and excellent emolliency.

The Zenibutter family

  • Excellent barrier and film forming properties
  • Melts at body temperature = better application and after-feel
  • Natural USP quality guarantees consistent results
  • Superb cushion and play time
  • 100% active = total performance = reduced cost

Trans-Epidermal Water Loss

 

Zenigloss® is a patented technology that produces a complex polymer formed by a unique two-step process.

In step one, castor oil is polymerized with succinic acid. The result is a branched polymer that provides good adhesion qualities for pigments, excellent barrier formation, with long-lasting emolliency.

Step two is a capping reaction, in which residual hydroxyl groups are reacted with isostearic acid. This step creates a polyester which results in a high-gloss polymer, that, when added to a finished product, imparts a healthy glow to skin.

The Zenigloss family

  • Excellent barrier properties
  • Contains oil phase and cold phase emulsifier
  • Higher molecular weight = improved substantivity
  • Good adhesion qualities for pigments
  • 100% active = total performance
