Lipochroman is powerful bioinspired antioxidant that protects biomolecules and cellular functions from oxidative stress damage and may aid in skin detoxification. As a result, it may help to reduce signs of aging and improve the skin appearance.

Novemer™ EC-2 polymer is a 20% solids, liquid, pre-neutralized polymer dispersed in oil. It is an easy-to-use, multifunctional polymer designed for use in skin care and sun care oil-in-water emulsions. Novemer EC-2 polymer enables elegant, stable emulsions containing active ingredients with electrolytes and suspended inorganic pigments.

xpertmoist® molecular film contains specific active ingredients with a high moisturising and regenerating effect that confers a pleasant feeling to the skin, even in extreme conditions. This occlusive improved delivery system has a great contact surface with the skin, minimising the TEWL and helping the active ingredients to penetrate more efficiently into the skin.

Kelco-Care™ diutan gum is a water-soluble biopolymer produced by fermentation designed specifically for use in cosmetics and other personal-care applications. Kelco-Care™ diutan gum has exceptionally good thermal stability, is compatible with high levels of alcohol and polyols, and is readily biodegradable. This innovative technology won the Innovation Zone Silver Prize for Functional Ingredients at In-Cosmetics Korea 2021. ​ Kelco-Care™ diutan gum products are manufactured by CP Kelco U.S., INC.

High Molecular Weight, Cross-linked Copolymers containing both hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions within the molecule. The hydrophobic portion of the polymer adsorbs at the oil phase whereas the hydrophilic portion swells in the water forming a gel network around the oil droplets to provide exceptional emulsion stability.Stable oil-in-water emulsions with no or low levels of co-surfactantEfficient suspension and stabilization of insoluble materials and particlesThese polymers provide shear thinning rheology which enables easy pumping and spraying of finished productsTypical uses include polishes and automotive care products

Biotechnological ingredient that helps minimize the accumulation of sebaceous lipids and strengthen the skin barrier function. The ingredient helps in naturally providing a healthy scalp with less itchiness, flakes and greasiness, while aids in daily managing dandruff-prone scalps.

Arbalon® R-50 cellulose liquid is a unique and highly functional form of pre-activated cellulose solution characterized by its ability to impart a true yield stress and suspend insoluble particles in personal care formulations while at the same time imparting a minimal negative impact on the final viscosity of the formulation. Arbalon™ R-50 cellulose liquid is an eco-friendly alternative derived from microbial fermentation process. Arbalon™ products are manufactured by CP Kelco U.S., INC. ​ Arbalon™ is a trademark of CP Kelco and is used under license.​

Oilkemia™ 5S polymer is 30% solids in Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides. It is a multifunctional oil soluble rheology modifier designed to impart thickening with clarity and suspension in a broad spectrum of oils and oil mixtures such as vegetable-based oils, triglycerides, esters, and organic UV filters. It allows the development of a wide variety of textures from thin non-dripping systems to lotions or thick creams, and even solid stick. In anhydrous and emulsion systems, Oilkemia™ 5S polymer can improve the sensory experience by reducing the greasy afterfeel of the oils. This rheology modifier is very efficient in medium and high polarity systems, with an average use level of 1.0-6.0 wt% as-supplied for low to high viscosity oil gels.

Novethix™ L-10 polymer is a highly efficient, hydrophobically-modified alkali-swellable emulsion polymer designed for structuring most cleansing formulations containing anionic, nonionic, and zwitterionic surfactants. Novethix™ L-10 polymer works synergistically with electrolytes and is an easy-to-use, cold-processable liquid.

Lipomoist™ molecular films contain polysaccharides that form a continuous film on the skin. They offer an instant, long-lasting and excellent skin moisturization and provide a soft, light and pleasant sensation.

Naturally sensational. Simply refreshing A unique natural-derived polymeric emulsifier providing excellent stabilization capabilities at low use level while offering a fresh and quick break sensory.

Sustainably obtained oil-based lapacho bark extract, known as the tree of life, that helps prevent telomere shortening and cellular senescence. The ingredient aims to promote a slower aging process and an increased skin longevity, which leads to a radiant, younger and better-looking appearance.

Chemccinate™ DSLS-BA surfactant is a naturally derived anionic surfactant. It is an excellent choice to provide effective, yet mild, cleansing and gentle foaming in color protection shampoos, baby shampoos, bath/shower gels and other mild cleansing products. It is recommended to be used in finished product formulations with pH ranges from 5 to 7.

Glucquat™ 125 humectant is a naturally-derived, 25% active, mild, effective alternative to other harsh monomeric quaternary ammonium compounds. It offers formulators humectant and conditioning properties and compatibility with a wide range of materials. Because it is quaternized, Glucquat 125 humectant is also a substantive conditioning agent for hair and skin. It is recommended for use in conditioners, skin care applications, and baby bath and shower products.
