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 M CS has excellent film-forming properties and thickens non-aqueous systems and provide lubricious skin feel. Klucel™ CS Grade is a nonionic, water-soluble cellulose ether with a versatile combination of properties. It combines solubility in aqueous and polar organic solvents, thermoplasticity, and surface activity with the thickening and stabilizing properties of other water-soluble cellulose polymers. HPC films are flexible without plasticizers and non-tacky at high humidity.

LUBRAJEL MS is a safe, clear, multi-functional, skin-activated moisturizing gel that delivers a multitude of benefits. Formulating with this product will enable the development of products with excellent moisturization properties while maintaining elegant aesthetics.

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.
