They also leave a \"non-greasy\" skin feel. SoftEster is the solid version in this ester series, making it feel significantly more enveloping and nourishing than its liquid counterparts. However, the effect upon application to the skin and the subsequent feel is quite different from that of plant butters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an ideal supplement for all products where the following is desired:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003esoft, enveloping skin feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003elow grease and shine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003edelicately melting texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its solid consistency, it can also be used as a \u003cstrong\u003eco-consistency agent\u003c\/strong\u003e. It gives emulsions and balms a certain \"body\" and a creamier, richer structure. This softens upon application to the skin due to body heat, yet blends easily with the skin structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese properties make SoftEster perfect for \u003cstrong\u003ehand creams\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it can be used simply as a valuable part of the fat phase. But SoftEster also excels in face and body products with its pleasantly softening properties. In lip products, sticks, and balms, it can also be used in a higher percentage of the fat phase. This provides a certain \"base consistency\" and a supple, non-greasy skin feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother popular use for SoftEster is in \u003cstrong\u003ehair care products\u003c\/strong\u003e, as it makes the hair structure very soft, protects it, and adds a certain richness to cream conditioners and hair masks. You should consider SoftEster especially for intensive treatments. Just 1-2.5% provides a significantly better-nourished and \"moisturised\" hair feel. However, this is mainly recommended for products for dry and straw-like hair. It should be avoided for fine hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/EiffL5XJ7_E\" title=\"Innometics-Soft-ester\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/6111\/0196\/files\/IMG_1116.webp?v=1699884729\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended concentration and processing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e0.5 - 5% in emulsions (1 - 2.5% for a light, soft skin feel)\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e5 - 20% in balms and sticks (e.g., lip care)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e0.5 - 2.5% in hair conditioners and masks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003emelt in the oil phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003emelting point 43 - 47 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003esolid ester oil\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003elow greasy feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003esoft consistency agent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eparticularly \"soft\" skin feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003efor skin, lip, and hair care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIncluded in the following recipe suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/innometics.at\/blogs\/haarpflege\/hair-mask-restoration\" title=\"innometics-hair-mask-restoration\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" alt=\"Innometics-hair-mask-restoration\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/6111\/0196\/files\/INNOMETICS_Rahmenrezpturen_Blogbeitraege_240x240.jpg?v=1719934608\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHair Mask \"Restoration\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe luxurious, \"revitalizing\" care treatment for chemically treated and damaged hair.
