Novemer EC-2 polymer enables elegant, stable emulsions containing active ingredients with electrolytes and suspended inorganic pigments.

A holistic peptidic approach towards a double barrier function reinforcement to restore vulnerable skin to its original condition, more like that of our ancestors, in closer contact to nature. It promotes microbiota balance, as shown in vitro, helping to boost the skin’s own defense system. Naturality according to ISO 16128 - 99.49% natural origin content.

Active ingredient with boosting and moisturizing long-lasting effect, enhanced by its anti-free radical activity, thus preserving the youthfulness of lips. It contains particles of Sodium Hyaluronate, of reduced and homogenized size, which swells in contact with water, thus offering lips with a long-term plumping effect. It also has anti-free radical action to protect lips from pollution.

Protection against pollution provided by a polymer with metal chelating properties and a potent free radical scavenger. pollushield™ functional ingredient defends the skin from the damage caused by heavy metals, particulate matter (PM) and other harmful substances found in big cities and polluted areas.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.​

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.

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.

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.

A marine biotechnology alternative to Hyaluronic Acid (HA): this exopolysaccharide has superior water retaining capacity with greater anti-wrinkle efficacy. Identified on the coast of Brittany, where the living conditions are very harsh, it has the same monosaccharides as hyaluronic acid. It offsets the decline of HA levels, which is natural with aging, and holds water in the epidermis, thus fighting against dehydration and wrinkles. Naturality according to ISO 16128 - 99.50% natural origin content.

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.

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.

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.
