EstoGel® Green is smart oil rheology modifier based on castor oil derivatives. Thickening occurs through a self-assembly mechanism and hydrogen bonding. This polymer can gel polar to medium polar oils, giving clear gels with suspending ability.
Use Level: 1% - 6%
EstoGel® HV M is smart oil rheology modifier based on castor oil derivatives. Thickening occurs through a self-assembly mechanism and hydrogen bonding. This polymer can gel polar to medium polar oils, giving clear gels with suspending ability.
Use Level: 1% - 30%
ExpertGel polymers are water soluble gelling agents. These polymers give a viscosity that increases with temperature, to give “smart” thickening on contact with body temperature.
ExpertGel EG312 has a gelation temperature of approximately 46°C (7.5% solution in water).
Use Level: 1% - 7.5%
ExpertGel EG412 has a gelation temperature of approximately 34°C (7.5% solution in water).
Permethyl products are a collection of hydrocarbons, ranging from light and emollient, to film formers that can improve wear and provide barrier properties.
Permethyl® 104A is a highly occlusive hydrocarbon with excellent coverage and skin barrier properties, improving the wear and shine of lip products.
Use Level: 1-70%
Permethyl® 105A is a highly occlusive hydrocarbon with excellent skin barrier and long-lasting wear properties. It may be combined with other Permethyls to balance film forming and aesthetic properties.
Permethyl® 106A is a highly occlusive hydrocarbon with excellent coverage and skin barrier properties. It improves wear and shine of lip products and may be combined with other Permethyls to balance film forming and aesthetic properties.
Permethyl® HPIB-HV: 800 cSt at 98.9°C.
Permethyl® HPIB-SV: 4700 cSt at 98.9°C.
Permethyl® HPIB-V: 300 cSt at 98.9°C.
Ceracute® G is a dispersion of a cationically modified polymer with a high refractive index. It forms a film that promotes natural gloss and feel. The structure mimics natural ceramides found in skin and hair.
Use Level: 2-6%
Ceracute® V is a polymer dispersion that also contains a cationic surfactant to improve hair adsorption. Ceracute V adds volume to hair without buildup or stiffness, and smooths rough cuticles for improved combability. The structure mimics natural ceramides found in skin and hair.
Use Level: 5-20%
Inagel® Green is a natural texturizing agent that is COSMOS certified, and exhibits improved stability and functionality in formulations. It has enhanced skin feel and absorption while being suitable for acidic formulations. pH range 4 – 7.
Use Level: 0.5-2%
Lipidure NA is a 1% active biocompatible aqueous polymer solution with multifunctional benefits for hair and scalp. Helps reduce static electricity, restore the surface of damaged hair, reduces color change of color treated hair, and improves the smoothness of hair cuticles. Suitable for all hair types.
Use Level: 1-5%
Lipidure PMB is an unpreserved, 5% active, biocompatible, aqueous polymer solution that mimics the skin cell membrane structure. It has applications in skin care. Benefits include improvement of moisturization and reduction of skin roughness. Suitable for sensitive skin.
Similar to Lipidure PMB with the addition of phenoxyethanol preservative.
