Verdessence Alginate, formerly Hydagen® 558P, hails from algae and elevates skin formulations with an enhanced feel. Ideal for skincare, it's a top-notch rheology modifier. In hair care, it's a versatile fixative and modifier, ensuring enduring curl definition even in humid conditions.

Oilkemia™ 5S polymer is a multifunctional oil-soluble rheology modifier. It imparts thickening, clarity, and suspension properties to a wide range of oils and oil mixtures, including vegetable-based oils, triglycerides, esters, and organic UV filters. Oilkemia™ 5S polymer is typically supplied as 30% solids in caprylic and capric triglycerides. It allows the development of various textures, from thin, non-dripping systems to lotions, creams, and solid sticks. It can also improve the sensory experience by reducing the greasy afterfeel of oils in anhydrous and emulsion systems. This rheology modifier is efficient in medium- to high polarity systems, with a typical usage level of 1.0–6.0 wt% for low- to high-viscosity oil gels.

Mimiskin™ is a biodegradable alternative to polymer film formers. It is extremely multifunctional and can be used in a wide range of applications. It has a unique melting shift that mimics human skin to form a transparent and flexible film that is completely compatible with the natural hydrolipidic skin layer, in addition to offering breathable protection. Its main benefits include pollution protection, breathability, cleansing, hydration, sensitive skin appropriateness, skin radiance, and more.

Verdessence™ Alginate (formerly Hydagen® 558P) is an algae-based, natural rheology modifier that also provides an enhanced feel on the skin, making it suitable for skin care formats. In hair applications, it acts as a multifunctional styling fixative and rheology modifier, providing a natural hold and long-lasting curl definition, even in high humidity.

Cossil® C9-12 is a biodegradable and highly volatile emollient derived from natural sources, serving as an ideal substitute for cyclomethicone D4/D5. Renowned for its silky skin feel, it finds application in makeup formulations such as waterproof mascaras, eyeliners, and foundations (BB creams). Additionally, it functions as a solvent for powder slurries and excels as an oil remover. This product boasts an excellent environmental profile, supported by standardized Ecoprofile analysis. It is particularly suited for use in color cosmetics like foundations and in skincare products such as creams and lotions. Its high volatility ensures rapid evaporation, while its compatibility with silicones, gum, and elastomers enhances its versatility in formulations.

Upsalite® C101 represents a material technology platform centered on amorphous mesoporous magnesium carbonate. Distinguished by its extraordinarily high surface area and pore volume in comparison to other earth metal carbonates, it offers unique properties for various applications. In the realm of cosmetics, Upsalite is finely milled to cosmetic grade, ensuring a smooth and semi-translucent appearance when utilized.

Capmul® S12L (Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate) is the partially neutralized condensation product of lauric acid and lactic acid. It is used both in hair care and skin care, providing an additional skin conditioning effect. Capmul® S12L is an environmentally friendly replacement for alkanolamides providing rheology control as well as giving esthetically pleasing dense, creamy foam. Due to the high foaming character of Capmul® S12L, it may be employed as a primary surfactant in sulfate-free formulations or used as a secondary surfactant to add additional benefits. Capmul® S12L is an excellent emulsifier in creams and lotions, providing an alpha-hydroxyl acid benefit at lower pH. It is manufactured in USA.

INCA LITE ORGANIC is cold-pressed Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) Seed oil. Jojoba liquid wax and is composed almost completely (97%) of wax esters of monounsaturated, long-chained fatty acids and alcohols with high-molecular weights (C16-26). These wax esters are principally (83%) compounds of C20 and C22 unsaturated acids and alcohols. Total free acids (C16 to C24) and total alcohols (C16 to C26) each account for 1% of the composition of Jojoba Oil. Mixed tocopherols and free sterols (< 0.5%) are also present. Jojoba oil is very resistant to oxidation and remains chemically unchanged for years (CTFA).

Inutec® H25P is a highly purified Inulin. Inulin is a unique linear natural sugar polymer based on glucose and fructose undergoes a hot water extraction from chicory root (Cichorium Intybus) and is then further enzymatically purified. Inutec H25P has the unique property to form a smooth and pleasant film on the skin and hair, leaving both softer. It is especially effective when formulated in rinse off products. Inutec H25P also has the ability to retain perfume and oil components from rinse off products, helping to prolong the effect of oils soluble actives on the skin or hair. Inutec® H25P is a product from Gobiotics.
