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

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.

Chemoxide™ CAW surfactant is a coconut oil derived surfactant that is an excellent choice for use in mild, low irritation formulations such as shampoos, facial cleansers and bath products. It builds viscosity and boosts foam over a broad pH range.
