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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
