Chemical
Pullulan

Natural linear glucan polysaccharide produced by the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans.

Properties

Forms an instant, tight film on the skin that yields an immediate mechanical skin-firming effect.

Chemical
Glucomannan (Konjac Gum)

High molecular weight water-soluble dietary fiber from Amorphophallus konjac.

Properties

Creates rich, resilient, natural viscoelastic gels with high water-holding capacity.

Chemical
Disteardimonium Hectorite

Organically modified hectorite clay derivative.

Properties

Provides superior thixotropy, pigment suspension, and thermal stability in oil phases.

Chemical
Polyquaternium-46 (Luviquat Hold AT3)

Terpolymer of vinylcaprolactam, vinylpyrrolidone, and quaternized vinylimidazole.

Properties

High-hold cationic hair styling polymer with superior curl retention in high humidity.

Chemical
Microcrystalline Cellulose

Purified, partially depolymerized cellulose isolated from plant pulp.

Properties

Thixotropic suspension aid and stabilizing texturizer that eliminates stickiness in emulsions.

Chemical
Stearalkonium Hectorite

Organically modified smectite clay compound.

Properties

Suspends heavy pigments and controls rheology in non-polar cosmetic oils and emulsions.

Chemical
Polyquaternium-10 (Polyquta 400KC)

Cationic hydroxyethylcellulose ether polymer.

Properties

Builds viscosity while depositing thin conditioning films onto hair cuticles and skin.

Chemical
Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride (Guarquat C 130 KC)

Cationic quaternary polymer derived from natural guar gum.

Properties

Thickens shampoo systems and delivers conditioning without weighing hair down.

Rheology Modifiers

Hydrocolloids, synthetic polymers, and clays for viscosity control and particle suspension.

Cross-linked acrylates, natural polysaccharides, and organoclays evaluated for flow behavior, yield value development, thixotropic recovery, and electrolyte tolerance.
