Personal Care Ingredients

LATHANOL LAL POWDER is a mild anionic surfactant providing foaming, wetting and emulsification. It can be used in bubble baths, shampoos, cleansing creams.

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.

N-HANCE CG 13 by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a conditioning and thickening agent. It contains fumaric acid and is self-hydrating. It is compatible with most anionic surafactants. This medium cationic substitution, high molecular weight polymer is substantive to anionic surfaces like skin and hair. It develops foam with better stability, lather and skin lubricating properties. It imparts soft and luxurious afterfeel to the skin.

PLASDON K29/32 polymer by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a rheology modifier. It is a stable, water-soluble polyvinylpyrrolidone that meets U.S., European and Japanese pharmacopoeia specifications for Povidone. It forms complexes with catechins, just as it does with many other compounds that cause discoloration of teeth. The polymer can be effectively used to bind and remove stains through hydrogen bonding with chemical compounds.
