🎥 REPLAY AVAILABLE – EstoLight-1E: Performance of a bio-based dispersant for pigmented cosmetics

"Performance Evaluation of EstoLight-1E: A Biobased Dispersant and Stabilizer for Pigmented Cosmetics"

Didier Pintori, Process Development Engineer at ITERG, presented the results of the performance evaluation of EstoLight-1E, our bio-based dispersant designed for pigmented cosmetic formulations, at the Lipids & Cosmetics Congress in Bordeaux.

 EstoLightarebio-based polymersderived from vegetable oils, patented by ITERG. These natural products effectively disperse mineral fillers (pigments, pearlescent pigments, dyes, glitter, particles), while ensuring uniform mixing and good sensory properties.

As a reminder: The 5th edition of the Lipids & Cosmetics Congress was held in Bordeaux on January 28 and 29, 2026. The event was organized by Cosmetic Valley, with support from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region and ADI Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and in partnership with ITERG, the CVA, the University of Bordeaux, and the SFC.

Four topics, focusing on lipids and their applications, were discussed: 

- Ingredients & raw materials supply
- Processes & development
- Formulation & sensory attributes
- Lipids & biological properties
