Products and solutions

Amaze® Nordic Barley is a 100% natural, unmodified, COSMOS approved starch ideal for skin, sun and hair care formulations as well as color cosmetics. It has excellent microbial purity and so is produced without the requirement for irradiation or other treatments.

This naturally derived, multi-functional styling polymer provides long-lasting hold under highly humid conditions, without the tack and flake often associated with gels. It offers not only the outstanding fixative properties, but also serves as an efficient thickener, simplifying the formulation and manufacturing process.

Dermacryl® 79 polymer is a hydrophobic, high molecular weight carboxylated acrylic copolymer. Because the polymer is inherently moisture resistant, Dermacryl® 79 polymer can be used in waterproof sunscreens as well as a variety of creams and lotions. The Polymer's film formation properties help maintain active ingredients on the site of application by imparting resistance to abrasion or rub-off.

Dermacryl® AQF film forming polymer is an easy-to-use film former for water resistant sunscreen emulsions. It has been developed to provide excellent water resistance performance without the need to heat or neutralize the polymer.

Dermacryl® C film forming polymer is an innovative film forming polymer technology designed especially for color cosmetics applications. This polymer offers a number of consumer friendly benefits because it forms clear, substantive, flexible films which can improve resistance to wear, enhance water resistance, build volume, and give a soft natural feel.  Although substantive, the Dermacryl® C polymer films are easily removed with warm soapy water or standard make-up removers.

Dermacryl® E polymer is an easy-to-use film former for water resistant sunscreen emulsions. It has been developed to provide excellent water resistance performance without the need to heat or neutralize the polymer. Dermacryl® E polymer is designed with an improvement on sun protection performance from Dermacryl® AQF polymer.

Dry-Flo® Elite BN is surface treated with boron nitride. Its platelet particle shape provides a high degree of slip and lubricity to cosmetic formulations. Dry-Flo® Elite BN starch exhibits a very lubricious feel, better coverage, and improved adhesion. Dry-Flo® Elite BN starch is non-gmo and available and approved globally.

Dry-Flo® Elite LL is surface treated with lauroyl lysine, which is known to provide a prestige feel to formulations that is very soft and extremely smooth. The naturally derived amino acid derivative is hydrophobic with good adhesion properties. Dry-Flo® Elite LL exhibits increased skin adhesion, softness and matte coverage. Dry-Flo® Elite LL starch is non-gmo and available and approved globally.

The original and trusted Dry-Flo® PC starch enhances product aesthetics by reducing the greasiness and tackiness as well as controlling the gloss caused by oil-phase components in lotions, creams and ointments. With excellent stability at pH 2-8, this naturally derived oil absorber is an essential ingredient to enhance the aesthetics of a variety of personal care formulations. Dry-Flo® PC starch is non-gmo and available and approved globally.

Dry-Flo® Pure (corn-based) starch is an irradiated version of Dry-Flo® PC that enhances product aesthetics by reducing the greasiness and tackiness as well as controlling the gloss caused by oil-phase components in lotions, creams and ointments. With excellent stability at pH 2-8, this naturally derived oil absorber is an essential ingredient to enhance the aesthetics of a variety of personal care formulations. Dry-Flo® Pure is non-GMO and available and approved globally.

Dry-Flo® TS starch is an aluminum-free, non-GMO modified tapioca starch ideal for reducing greasiness, gloss, and tack in the most oily formulations. Its low-protein content is ideal for formulations for sensitive skin and reduced allergy concerns compared to corn-base starches. Patent pending.

Dry-Flo® TS PURE starch is an irradiated version of Dry-Flo® TS starch that is an aluminum-free, non-GMO modified tapioca starch ideal for reducing greasiness, gloss, and tack in the most oily formulations. Its low-protein content is ideal for formulations for sensitive skin and reduced allergy concerns compared to corn-base starches. Patent pending.

Elfacos® E 200 polyalkylene glycol derivative is a highly effective water in oil emulsifier, with a high water binding capacity. It supports the formation of a very fine particle size, providing extremely stable water in oil emulsions. Elfacos® E 200 is a nonionic copolymer which over a wide temperature range produces exceptionally hydrolytic, pH and electrolyte stable emulsions.

Elfacos® GT 282S enables formulators to create crystal clear gel and cleansing formulations in a wide pH range (2-12) in surfactants and water systems. It’s a unique Newtonian associative thickener with excellent thickening synergism with surfactants. It is also suitable for sulfate-free systems.

These are unique polyalkalene glycols which have excellent stabilizing effect on emulsions. Having a high capacity to absorb water and oil, a relatively low percentage is needed in cosmetic formulations. The stabilizing effect is not obtained by thickening, allowing for low viscous stable emulsions to be achieved. As nonionic copolymers, Elfacos® ST 9 and Elfacos® ST 37 polyalkylene glycol derivatives are hydrolytic, pH and electrolyte stable over a very wide temperature range. In decorative cosmetics, they act as binders for powders and provide improved color and payoff in lipsticks and similar products.
