DRY-FLO PURE is a unique, hydrophobically modified natural polymer. This naturally-derived (corn-based) starch is an irradiated version of Dry-Flo® PC. It reduces the greasiness and tackiness, and controls the gloss caused by oil-phase components in lotions, creams and ointments. With excellent stability at pH 2-8, DRY-FLO PURE is an essential ingredient to enhance the aesthetics of a variety of personal care formulations. It is non-GMO and available and approved globally.

ELFACOS ST 9 are unique polyalkalene glycols which have excellent stabilizing effect on emulsions. Having a high capacity to absorb water and oil, a relatively low percentage is needed in cosmetic formulations. The stabilizing effect is not obtained by thickening, allowing for low viscous stable emulsions to be achieved. As nonionic copolymers, Elfacos ST 9 and Elfacos ST 37 polyalkylene glycol derivatives are hydrolytic, pH and electrolyte stable over a very wide temperature range. In decorative cosmetics, they act as binders for powders and provide improved color and payoff in lipsticks and similar products.

ELFACOS GT 282S enables formulators to create crystal clear gel and cleansing formulations in a wide pH range (2-12) in surfactants and water systems. It’s a unique Newtonian associative thickener with excellent thickening synergism with surfactants. It is also suitable for sulfate-free systems. ELFACOS GT 282S nonionic copolymer is a unique rheology modifier (polyalkylene glycol derivative) that enables crystal clear cleansing systems. As a unique Newtonian associative thickener, it exhibits excellent viscosity synergism with surfactants.

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.

Amaze Nordic Barley is a 100% natural, unmodified, COSMOS approved starch. The pure barley is regionally sourced from Scandinavia and produced in an eco-conscious process as a side-stream of the beverage industry. It has excellent microbial purity and so is produced without the requirement for irradiation or other treatments. The unique sensory benefits delivered in formulation by the Amaze Nordic Barley are a result of the products unique singular oblate spheroid morphology. The product allows formulators to achieve excellent skin feel from skin and sun care emulsions. In addition, the Barley starch delivers a 100% natural oil absorber for dry shampoo applications. Finally, it can deliver blurring and nude effects fo color cosmetics.

DERMACRYL 79 is a hydrophobic, high molecular weight carboxylated acrylic copolymer. DERMACRYL 79 is inherently moisture resistant — the polymer can be used in waterproof sunscreens as well as a variety of creams and lotions. It forms an excellent low-shine film for resistance to abrasion or rub-off and helps maintain active ingredients at the application site. It meets the Credo Clean Standard and the requirements for Ulta Beauty's Conscious Beauty.

Dermacryl X provides market leading water and rub-off resistance for reliable high SPF systems with pleasing esthetics in both inorganic and organic systems delivered from an emulsion base. This polymer also requires no heat or neutralization and can be easily incorporated into emulsion-based sunscreens to help simplify the formulation process.

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.

Structure XL starch is a naturally-derived and biodegradable rheology and esthetic modifier that enables more stable and natural emulsions for hair and skin care applications. Due to its low surface energy, it reduces the size of emulsion droplets enabling efficient stability and also builds synergistic viscosity with emulsifiers. Easy to use, it takes only two minutes to completely disperse in cold water with no pre-mixes needed. Flexible over wide pH range (3-9).

DRY-FLO PC starch enhances product esthetics by reducing the greasiness and tackiness as well as controlling the gloss caused by oil-phase components in lotions, creams and ointments. With excellent stability at pH 2-8, this naturally derived oil absorber is an essential ingredient to enhance the esthetics of a variety of personal care formulations. DRY-FLO PC starch is non-gmo and available and approved globally.

SolAmaze® Natural solution is a novel bio-based, biodegradable product, containing a film-forming polymer that offers superior water resistance and pleasing aesthetics for high SPF emulsion sunscreens. SolAmaze® Natural solution is globally approved and was developed to maintain the performance of leading synthetic polymers while reducing the persistence in the environment.
