Hydrovance moisturizing agent provides excellent moisturization, increases skin elasticity, and enhances tactile sensory properties of formulations. This cost-efficient solution has broad compatibility, offering cosmetic chemists the freedom to formulate over a wide pH range and with a large variety of raw materials.

Balance® RCFg polymer is a multifunctional film former and rheology modifier that provides cost-effective thickening and versatile performance in a variety of hair styling and surfactant containing systems.

Alcosperse 4961 is a film former that provides excellent humidity resistance and hold when used in anhydrous or 80% VOC hair sprays. In hair spray systems, it offers improved stiffness, durability, and long-lasting hold compared to Alcosperse polymer. In addition, the AMPHOMER 4961 polymer version provides improved compatibility with thickening agents (e.g. Carbomer) for hard holding styling gels and other styling aids.

BIOSTYLE CGP is a naturally derived, anionic film forming polymer designed especially for use in volumizing and working styling products including clear hair gels, spray gels, creams, lotions and mousses. This styling polymer has a high natural content and performs as a match to PVP K-30 and PVP/VA systems. In addition to providing a similar hold, BIOSTYLE CGP also delivers exceptional volume generation and root lift. A proprietary hybrid polymer comprised of maltodextrin and vinyl pyrrolidone, BIOSTYLE CGP polymer represents a new way for formulators to create more natural and sustainable styling products while maintaining cost-in-use targets and without any sacrifice of performance properties.

Balance® Extra polymer is a high molecular weight acrylate film-forming polymer specially engineered for low VOC aerosol systems and hair gel formulations. Its versatility extends to various hair styling products, including hair gels and aerosol hairsprays. This polymer excels in delivering stiffness and a strong, long-lasting hold even in humid conditions. Whether you're seeking the perfect hairstyle in any weather, Balance® Extra polymer is your solution.

BIOSTYLE XH is a naturally-derived film-forming polymer designed for use in clear, stiffer holding hair gels, mousses, and other working styling aids where volumizing properties are desired. BIOSTYLE XH polymer provides the on-hair performance, exceptional clarity, and consumer preferred rheology that are typically associated with synthetic fixative polymers, yet BIOSTYLE XH polymer is partially derived from renewable resources. This high molecular weight, proprietary hybrid polymer represents a new way for formulators to create more sustainable, harder holding styling products while maintaining cost-in-use targets without any sacrifice of performance properties.

Amaze polymer is a nonionic, naturally-derived film former based on modified corn starch. This starch-based fixative offers excellent root lifting properties, good humidity resistance, and sensorial benefits in hair styling aids.

Amaze XT is a 100% renewable, natural, multifunctional polymeric rheology modifier with exceptional thickening performance, superior suspension capabilities and esthetic properties for use in a wide range of personal care applications. Insoluble functional materials can provide visual appeal, deliver active ingredients and exfoliate. Incorporating and stabilizing these materials requires extra performance on the part of the rheology modifier. Amaze XT polymer provides the required performance. In addition to its thickening abilities, Amaze XT polymer has a high elastic/storage modulus (G’), indicating good suspending ability. Systems formulated with Amaze XT polymer show stable longterm suspension, even at elevated temperatures.

CELQUAT H-100 is a high viscosity cationic conditioner/film former useful in a broad range of styling, cleansing, and skin care products. This water soluble modified cellulosic is highly cationic over the entire useful pH range, is substantive to hair and skin, and provides such esthetic benefits as excellent combability, hold, gloss, and anti-static properties, and a smooth feel. It can also contribute to thickening effects and is suitable for styling gels, creams, and other products where higher viscosity with hold and conditioning are desired.

Structure 2001 is a multifunctional associative thickener ideal for high viscosity systems with exceptional shear-thinning properties that can also provide moderate hold properties. Structure 2001 is very stable in presence of solvents and counter irons.

AMPHOMER is an amphoteric acrylic hair fixative that offers market-leading stiffness and unprecedented high humidity curl retention properties. It is a stiff resin with unparalleled holding power for ultimate control in all temperature and humidity conditions. AMPHOMER Polymer can be applied in traditional and low VOC aerosol and pump hair sprays, and styling aids such as mousses, gels, creams, pomades, and glues where long-lasting finishing hold is desired. AMPHOMER Polymer also provides thermal protection properties (refer to US Patent 9,119,972 B2) and acts as a hair shield for hot heating implements such as flat irons and curling wands, helping to protect the hair cuticle from hair damage caused by heat.
