Kelisoft

Kelisoft, an active for smooth skin between shaves

Kelisoft is a cosmetic active from Croda Beauty Actives, formerly Sederma. The manufacturer lists the INCI as Butylene Glycol (and) Chelidonine and supplies it as a water-soluble liquid built around a highly purified plant molecule. It is aimed at products used around shaving and hair removal, where the goal is skin that looks and feels smooth and soft for longer and a comfortable feel right after shaving. Buy it as a liquid from a 1 oz trial pack, scale up to bulk packs up to 32 oz on the same lot, and ask for a wholesale quote for larger volumes.

Where it fits

The manufacturer places Kelisoft in deodorants, body care, leg care and shaving or hair removal products. Typical finished products are roll-on deodorants, after-shave gel creams, post-waxing lotions and leg care creams. Published tests used about 3% in an underarm roll-on and 4% in a beard gel cream, so those levels are a useful starting point. Keep finished-product claims about the look and feel of the skin.

Partners for after-shave comfort

In after-shave and post-waxing products, Kelisoft sits well next to bisabolol for a calm feel and allantoin for a smooth, conditioned feel. Browse our cosmetic actives section for other body care and deodorant ingredients.

Formulating notes

Add Kelisoft to the water phase or to an emulsion at cool-down and mix well. An oil-soluble version exists from the manufacturer, but the supplier specification is the water-soluble grade. It ships from Florida, usually within 1 to 2 business days, in the pack sizes shown above, and US shipping is free on orders of $50 or more.
