Personal Care Ingredients

ACRYLIDONE LM is a high molecular weight, film-forming anionic terpolymer composed of vinylpyrrolidone and an acrylate backbone with a hydrophobic pendant C-12 chain. It is insoluble in ethanol and water until neutralized for easy dispersion. It exhibits synergistic thickening when combined with associative rheology modifiers.

KLUCEL™ HPC is a nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether with unique combination of properties, It is soluble in cold-water and polar organic solvents, surface active, and forms films of exceptional flexibility without addition of plasticizers.

N-HANCE SP-100 Conditioning Polymer is a new polymer, specifically designed for use in personal care applications. It is typically used as a substantive conditioning polymer in rinse-off surfactant systems, such as shampoos, to reduce tangling and improve wet and dry comb properties of hair after shampooing. It is especially useful for delivering a highly conditioned feel to wet and dry hair. This product can also be added to bath and shower gels to improve skin feel after bathing or showering.

KLUCEL EF PHARMA is a nonionic polymer that is completely soluble in both water and polar organic solvents like ethanol. This grade is the pharmaceutical version of Klucel EF and has a viscosity of 300-600.
