The new Novethix L-10 polymer thickens and controls the rheology of challenging surfactant cleansing systems such as mild, sulfate/amide-free shampoos and facial cleansers or very low surfactant content formulations for economy markets. A highly efficient, hydrophobically modified, alkali- swellable emulsion polymer designed for structuring most cleansing formulations containing anionic, nonionic and zwitterionic surfactants, Novethix L-10 polymer is also a cost effective improvement over many nonionic thickeners. It works synergistically with electrolytes and is an easy-to-use, cold-processable liquid. Novethix L-10 polymer overcomes deficiencies generally found in surfactant systems containing nonionic thickeners, such as poor viscosity reproducibility, jelly- like flow aesthetics and instability when stored at elevated temperatures. Nonionic thickeners often require controlled heating and cooling protocols to achieve formulation reproducibility. Since Novethix L-10 polymer is an aqueous dispersion, formulations can be cold processed without the need for heat and long mixing times. The shear- thinning rheology of Novethix L-10 polymer provides smooth, honey-like flow and excellent temperature stability. Novethix L-10 polymer delivers aesthetically pleasing, smooth-textured flow properties and high clarity in a wide variety of cleansing applications. It can be used to create economy (low surfactant) clear or pearlized body washes and shampoos, and mild, sulfate-free, amide-free shower gels, shampoos and facial cleansers.

Silsoft AX conditioning agent can help manufacturers of hair care products offer enhanced sleekness, shine and manageability for hair. In hair care formulations, the molecular structure of Silsoft AX conditioning agent may significantly enhance the smoothness and softness of damaged and undamaged hair, without stickiness or greasiness, while improving colour retention. The INCI name of Silsoft AX conditioning agent is bis-cetearyl amodimethicone. Tospearl AQ microspheres can provide a smoother and silkier sensory experience, enhanced blurring of fine lines and wrinkles, and improved rub-in for water-based skincare formulations, sunscreens, antiageing products and moisturizers. Stable at low pH, Tospearl AQ microspheres are coated with a cationic polymer. Due to this coating, the product can be incorporated easily into the water phase of oil-in-water emulsions.
