For over 60 years, Lubrizol has been delivering Carbopol® Polymers, our key technology that has created a positive global impact as the differentiating ingredient in countless innovations within the personal care industry. From its brilliant clarity to its controlled release properties, Carbopol® Polymers is the easiest dispersing carbomer polymer available today for use in clear gels and emulsion systems, such as creams and lotions. As the inventor of this technology, Lubrizol has a team full of technical resources that deeply understand its use in formulating for different applications.

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.

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. Kelco-Care™ is a trademark of CP Kelco and is used under license.​

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

Sunhancer™ Eco SPF booster is a natural-derived technology that increases the Sun Protection Factor SPF). The key is in its micron-sized particles made from a blend of sustainably sourced waxes.

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.

Ferment extract obtained through biotechnology from a radiation-resistant microorganism. Lumicease™ blue ingredient activates the epidermal photosensors and prepares, protects and repairs the skin from solar and artificial blue light-induced damage, helping minimize the main signs of digital and photoaging.

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.

Biotechnological active ingredient that contains an exopolysaccharide extracted from the Halomonas eurihalina microorganism to protect cell vitality and balance that is lost during aging. It enhances the levels of Cx in vitro, which are key to improve direct and paracrine communication. Naturality according to ISO 16128 - 100% natural origin content.

Preventhelia® is a tetrapeptide that prevents the damage caused directly or indirectly by UV radiation to DNA and proteins, preventing skin from photoaging.

Hexapeptide synthesized from an adhesion sequence of laminin. It can boost key elements of the dermoepidermal junction (DEJ). This is linked to an improved cohesion and a redensifying effect on the skin.

Matrifuse™ S-1 dispersant is a high-performance dispersing additive for the pigmented skin care applications. It can effectively separate the agglomeration of pigment particles and significantly decrease the viscosity of dispersions, while allowing higher pigment loading, enhancing uniform coverage, and boosting product sensory. MATRIFUSE™ S-1 dispersant is designed for convenient handling and improved low temperature stability to avoid crystallization and settling.

This hexapeptide protects DNA from damage, stimulates its natural repair pathways and enhances cellular longevity and vitality. It mimics in vitro the activity of FOXO3a, which is a member of the Forhkead box transcription factors and is involved in cell repair, renewal and longevity.
