LUBRAJEL BA hydrogel is a clathrate of glyceryl acrylate and glyceryl polyacrylate that encloses water molecules via hydrogen bonding and Van der Waals forces. As supplied, this product contains about 50 weight % water. Since it binds moisture and is a highly viscous gel, Lubrajel™ BA hydrogel is an ideal ingredient to provide moisture to the mouth.

N-HANCE BF13 Cationic Guar by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a thickener and conditioning agent. This quaternary polymer is a medium-cationic-substitution, high-molecular-weight polymer. It is boron-free which differentiates it from typical cationic guars. It is substantive to anionic surfaces such as skin and hair. Upon dilution of the surfactants with water, the cationic guar will complex with the anionic surfactants. The complex will deposit cosmetically effective levels of ingredients such as silicone or emollient oils onto hair and skin.

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.

N HANCE 3215 by Ashland Specialty Chemical is a conditioning and thickener. It is compatible with most anionic surafactants. It imparts soft and luxurious afterfeel to the skin. It develops foam with better stability, lather and skin lubricating properties. N-Hance™ 3215 Cationic Guar is used in hair care products like shampoos, skin care products like soaps, hand-, body and facial emulsions and shaving creams. This high cationic substitution, high molecular weight polymer is substantive to anionic surfaces like skin and hair.
