Functionals

Glucam™ P-20 humectant is a naturally-derived, 100% active, propoxylated methyl glucose ether. It is one of the few naturally-derived cosmetic fluids that is miscible with water, alcohols, organic esters, and oils. It delivers humectancy with a lubricious, emollient feel in any product. In alcohol-based systems, Glucam™ P-20 humectant reduces the stinging effect alcohol can have on the skin. Furthermore, it acts as a fixative in fragrance-containing formulations by reducing the volatilization of high notes. The light color and low odor of Glucam™ P-20 humectant do not interfere with the mood the fragrance is trying to convey. It is recommended for use in hair and skin care products.

DOWSIL(TM) 2501 Cosmetic Wax is a silicone glycol copolymer wax that is water-dispersible. This product has a low melting point and is used in skincare, haircare, suncare, antiperspirant, and deodorant applications. It has a moisturizing effect and is shown to boost foaming in surfactant systems.

​​A bio-derived & biodegradable cationic cellulosic polymer that can be used as principal conditioning agent or in combination with other conditioning ingredients in conditioners, leave-on products and shampoos. Features & Benefits Provides equivalent hair conditioning to some silicones Enhances dry and wet hair combing especially on damaged hair Restores hair hydrophobicity Reduces hair breakage Improves hair alignment and manageability Enhances silicone deposition on hair especially on damaged hair Provides soft styling benefit (ie. curl retention) in leave-on formulations Ease of formulation – no emulsification needed Enables clear products Acts as rheology modifier Helps increase natural content of formulation

DOWSIL(TM)  2511 Cosmetic Wax is a water dispersible silicone glycol copolymer wax with a low melting point and is a water soluble, skin temperature melting wax for increased moisturization and humectancy. It is helpful to add this product into the water phase, where it will disperse with proper mixing, either cold or with heat.

DOWSIL(TM) ES-5300 Formulation Aid is a non-diluted, low-viscosity silicone surfactant. It is designed to produce stable water-in-silicone emulsions and water-in-oil emulsions with light sensory properties. This product improves the dispersibility of pigment and fine particles in silicone fluid and organic oil.

DOWSIL(TM) OFX-5329 Fluid is a polyether functional siloxane supplied at 100% actives. Based on its ability to reduce surface tension, DOWSIL(TM) OFX-5329 Fluid can be used to prepare oil-in-water and silicone-in-water emulsions with improved esthetics such as faster absorption, better spreading, and a lighter feel. It will also impart esthetic benefits when added to neat skin and hair care formulations.

EcoSense(TM) GL-60 HL Surfactant is a unique bio-derived, glycolipid surfactant and emulsifier for rinse-off and leave-on applications. EcoSense(TM) GL-60 HL Surfactant is a 100% bio-derived, non-GMO, sugar-based biosurfactant and natural emulsifier with a high lactone sophorolipids content. This glycolipid is mild to skin. It is readily biodegradable and exhibits low aquatic toxicity in the environment.

DOWSIL™ 1686 Resin is a liquid polysilsesquioxane resin that can be used to create skin care formulations that provide radiance and shine. It also contributes to color value medium and comfortable wear to make up. The product may be used in hair care formulations to provide enhanced shine and frizz control. Features & Benefits Shine / gloss Improved color value Spreadability/uniformity, detackifier Pigment dispersion aid Compatible with organic ingredients Shine, frizz control (hair care) Not made from animal source/origin
