1 of 2 products in this brand
Advanced Solutions MariMoist® KPF (R10097) is a sustainable marine biopolymer derived from Chondrus crispus aquatic plants with bio-derived high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA), a glycosaminoglycan that is an important natural component of skin. Referred to as the “aloe of the ocean,” MariMoist® KPF is a water-soluble, viscous, hydrocolloid-flowing gel with the highest standards of consistency, quality, and purity.   MariMoist® KPF provides water delivery and a unique textural sensation, improving the aesthetic and tactile properties of finished products while helping to build “body” and impart a rich, luxurious feel. MariMoist® KPF has been demonstrated to bind and deliver water for optimal hydration of the skin, scalp, and hair. Acting as a humectant, MariMoist® KPF is an emollient liquid that instantly moisturizes and softens dry skin.   Applications for MariMoist® KPF include an emollient and hydrator in skin and hair products and a formulation aid or aesthetic modifier of product viscosity and body. MariMoist® KPF is an excellent base for formulations.

Technical Details & Test Data

Test Data

MariMoist® KPF Provides the Most Fundamental Component for Beauty Enhancement: Water

Adsorption of Water (25°C, 75% RH)

MariMoist® KPF adsorbs greater than 2.5 times more water than other marine-derived hydrocolloids, making this water available to the skin for moisturization.

Release of Water (25°C, 10% RH)

Over a 4-hour period, hydrated MariMoist® KPF releases nearly 3 times more water than other marine hydrocolloids over the same period of time.

Safety & Health

Safety
Human Repeat Insult Patch Testing (HRIPT) under semi-occlusive conditions indicated that MariMoist® did not perform as a primary skin irritant or as a primary skin sensitizer at recommended use levels. Ocular irritation testing predicted that MariMoist® would be a Minimal/Mild ocular irritant at recommended use levels.
