N-HANCE 4572 Conditioning Polymer by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a conditioning and thickening agent. It is a medium charge density, high molecular weight cationic polymer composition with ability to deliver high levels of conditioning oil to hair or skin from cleansing formulations while allowing formulators to reduce active conditioning oil levels by 25-50%. Promotes wet and dry combing leaving the hair with a silky dry feel. It improves wet feel and increases the slip and lubricity of hair, important for reducing tangles. It can improve skin feel after bathing and showering.

HEC - NATROSOL 250 HHR PC is a nonionic water-soluble polymer. Solutions of Natrosol HEC are pseudoplastic or shear-thinning. As a result, personal care products formulated with Natrosol HEC dispense rich and thick from the container, but spread easily on hair and skin.

ISP - ULTRATHIX 21 is self-wetting rheology modifier with improved electrolyte tolerance, excellent sensorial properties, emulsion stabilization and hydroalcoholic systems

BLANOSE CMC 7MF cellulose gum (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) is an anionic water-soluble polymer that is widely used in toothpastes as a thickener to bind water for the prevention of syneresis and impart desirable flow properties appearance totoothpaste formulations. In addition to toothpaste formulations, cellulose gum is also used in denture adhesive creams and powders to provide hold. Cellulose gum is available in wide variety of grades to meet formulation needs. Blanose™ cellulose gum is derivatized from natural, renewable resources.
