Abstract: Over the last several years the demand for bio-based ingredients has significantly increased in the cosmetic industry. Transfer-resistance is another feature that is in high demand. Polymers used to prevent transfer are often made from silicones, which are not considered bio-based ingredients by the ISO16128 standard. This studyevaluated7bio-based 5 synthetic film formers for their transfer resistance properties and their effect on the quality of lipsticks. We developed a new in vitro method to test the transfer-resistance of the formulated lipsticks. Glyceral stearate, trimethylsiloxysilicate, and polyamide-8 prevented transfer significantly(p < 0.05) compared to the control. Based on our study it can be concluded that select bio-based film formers can be used as effective substitutes for synthetic ones.
