CoCo-Complete BCR® is a naturally derived, multifaceted cosmetic ingredient that combines five components of coconut into an elegant fluid dispersion. It is a lightweight fluid which absorbs quickly leaving skin soft, hydrated, rejuvenated and protected. It is safe to use at 100%, and can be used to create silky, surfactant-free microemulsions. When used as an additive to formulations, it improves product esthetics, enhances product stability and boosts biocompatibility of active ingredients. It truly is a complete formulation solution!

Sucrabase SF Bio is a thick oily gel which immediately turns into a thin emulsion on addition of water. It can be used to create a number of different formulations by simply stirring in other ingredients at room temperature.

BioCell Collagen® CG is a cosmetic-grade, hydrolyzed chicken sternal cartilage extract. It is composed of a complex matrix of primarily collagen type II peptides, chondroitin sulfate (CS) and hyaluronic acid (HA). Collagen, CS, and HA are essential structural components in the skin dermis and are responsible for the skin's moisture, suppleness, elasticity, and beauty. Collagen may slow the degradation of these molecules as we age. It can slow the disarray or collapse of the dermal matrix structure, reducing dermal dehydration and aging skin appearances such as fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial sagging.

iActive Allantoin has many beneficial effects as an active ingredient in over-the-counter cosmetics: a moisturizing and keratolytic effect, increasing the water content of the extracellular matrix and enhancing the desquamation of upper layers of dead skin cells thereby increasing the smoothness of the skin. It promotes cell proliferation and wound healing. iActive Allantoin has a soothing, anti-irritant, and skin protectant effect by forming complexes with irritant and sensitizing agents.

Versagel® MP 1600 is a gelled fatty ester made from isopropyl palmitate. Isopropyl palmitate is an emollient ester derived from isopropyl alcohol and palmitic acid. Similar to hydrocarbon gels with similar chain length, the Versagel MP materials are equipped with a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain to provide skin occlusivity. Additionally, they have a carboxylic functionality near the end of the molecule to give a drier and lighter skin feel. Versagel MP acts as a fast spreading emollient providing moisturization and efficient absorption. It provides a soft and supple texture as well as good spreading characteristics. Isopropyl palmitate is an established penetration enhancer for transdermal systems and the innovative gelled option can provide better functionality and esthetics.
