- Product Highlights
- CMFP is of extreme purity offering excellent skin compatibility. It has a moisturizing effect by forming a protective layer on the skin and increasing water-binding capacity. Hydamer CMFP contributes to firming the skin.
- CMFP enhances sensory parameters and increases skin flexibility, elasticity and smoothness, giving a feeling of soft skin and reducing skin irritation. There are also increased sun protection results due to its ability to shield UV filters from washing off with water. CMFP is a protection-enhancing ingredient for a wide range of care products.
- Benefits
- Hydamer CMFP increases skin flexibility/elasticity, smoothness, softness and suppleness
- Hydamer CMFP has a moisturizing effect and firms the skin
- Hydamer CMFP forms a protective layer and increases the water-resistance of UV-filters

Technical Details & Test Data
- Usage Procedure
In order to obtain a clear, aqueous solution, small amounts of acid must be added, e.g. for a 1 % solution about 0.4 – 0.6 % of acid is needed. It is recommended to only use glycolic, benzoic, acetic or lactic acid, but citric and tartaric acid is not suitable to use.
It is suggested to produce the solution at room temperature by using the following procedure: add water to Hydamer™ CMFP and stir it briefly to obtain a dispersion. Then the acid solution (e.g. pre-dissolved glycolic acid in a small amount of water) should be added gradually. Stir the mixture gently until it becomes a clear solution (within 30-60 min). The pH of the resulting solution must be adjusted to pH 4 to 5. The final formulation pH must be less than 6.0. Depending on the intended application, it is recommended to filter the solution before it is incorporated into the formulation. Hydamer™ CMFP is not compatible with anionic compounds. It is limited compatible with more than 60 % ethanol (with a-hydroxy-isobutyric acid: compatible up to 80 % ethanol). The recommended application concentration is between 0.05 to 0.15 % AS.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 4 Years
- Storage & Shelf life
Hydamer™ CMFP remains stable for at least four years in its original unopened container protected from moisture and at temperatures below 30⁰C. Upon request, Chitinor can test the most critical characteristics of Hydamer™ CMFP. If the tests are within limits of the quality control data, the retest date can be prolonged for another year. Hydamer™ CMFP does not contain any preservatives. Store the containers indoor prevented from sunlight.
