Get the Benefits of Natural, High-Performance Functionality

Hallstar offers the leading platform of functional naturals. Our portfolio applies advanced technology to naturally derived ingredients from sources such as fruits, nuts and seeds. The fatty acid composition of our functional naturals closely matches that of human skin, allowing for light, nourishing ingredients with exceptional sensoriality. The result is products that can support both natural and functional claims, with benefits backed by rigorous clinical tests.

Functional Bases

Hallstar’s biomimetic emulsifiers generate liquid crystal structures that mimic the stratum corneum organization of the skin, providing deep moisturization with excellent spreadability. Functional bases form fluid (even sprayable) lotions or enhance the texture and viscosity of formulations, improving emulsion stability, sensorial profile and dermatological compatibility. Our newest cold process emulsifier, Olivem® 2090, is a water-in-oil, nature-derived ingredient.

Water-Soluble Emollients

Our water-soluble emollients offer sebum recovering (refatting) activities for distinctive skin smoothness and long-term moisturizing upon rinsing of cleansers.

Dermollients

Hallstar’s botanically-derived dermollients have a fatty acid content that chemically mimics that of the hydrolipidic film of the skin, with exceptional skin compatibility. Our dermollients deliver various effects, which may include an elegant, silicone-like or silky touch while improving skin’s hydration, elasticity and barrier functions.

Surfactants

Our mild surfactants act as primary cleansers in facial wipes or as secondary surfactants in foaming skin cleaners for greater skin compatibility.

Stabilizing Agents

Hallstar stabilizing agents, derived from natural olive chemistry, can solve compatibility issues and are suitable for use in a variety of beauty and personal care applications. They appear as flaked wax but have different chemical structures that satisfy diverse formulating needs.

Active Ingredients

Hallstar’s water-soluble, multifunctional active ingredients deliver a range of benefits, including anti-aging, anti-irritating, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, skin elasticizing, anti-microbial, anti-acne and skin lightening effects. These ingredients can also act as free-radical quenchers at low levels of use.
