Candelilla Wax
Candelilla Wax is a natural vegetable wax derived from the leaves of the Euphorbia cerifera shrub, native to northern Mexico and the southwestern United States. It appears as a hard, brittle, light yellow to brown wax with a mild, characteristic odor. This wax is valued for its high melting point, gloss-enhancing properties, and excellent binding capabilities. It is widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and industrial applications as a vegan alternative to beeswax. Its film-forming, emollient, and stabilizing attributes make it a multifunctional ingredient across several industries.
Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium
Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium, is a water-soluble anionic cellulose ether derived from natural cellulose. It appears as a white to off-white, odorless, tasteless powder or granule. Known for its excellent thickening, stabilizing, emulsifying, and water-retention properties, CMC is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, personal care, industrial, and detergent applications. It functions by modifying the rheological properties of solutions and suspensions, offering control over viscosity and flow. Its biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and biodegradability make it suitable for both human use and environmentally friendly formulations.
Desgel HG (Carbomer)
Desgel HG is a high-purity Carbomer-based thickening agent, widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care formulations. It is a cross-linked polyacrylic acid polymer, neutralized to form high-viscosity gels with excellent clarity and stability. Desgel HG is prized for its thickening, suspending, emulsifying, and stabilizing capabilities, especially in aqueous and hydroalcoholic systems. It is highly efficient at low concentrations and compatible with a wide pH range (when neutralized). This makes it ideal for use in gels, creams, lotions, hand sanitizers, topical formulations, and other semi-solid systems.
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose , marketed under brand names such as Natrosol, is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose by reacting alkali cellulose with ethylene oxide. It appears as a white to off-white, free-flowing powder with excellent thickening, binding, and film-forming properties. HEC is widely used as a rheology modifier and stabilizer due to its high water retention, solubility, and compatibility with a broad range of ingredients. It is valued in many industries including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, paints, adhesives, and personal care products.
Methyl Cellulose 400mpc
Methyl Cellulose 400mpc is a chemically modified cellulose derivative in powder form. It is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer widely used as a thickener, binder, emulsifier, and film former. It exhibits excellent water retention, viscosity control, and thermal gelation properties, making it ideal for applications in construction, pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics.
Pectin HM
Pectin HM (High Methoxyl) is a natural polysaccharide extracted primarily from citrus peels and apple pomace. It is widely used as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and thickener in the food industry. Pectin HM requires high sugar content and acidic conditions to form a gel, making it ideal for jams, jellies, and confectionery products. It also finds applications in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics for its film-forming and stabilizing properties.
Pullulan
Pullulan is a natural polysaccharide polymer produced by the fermentation of starch by the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans. It is a water-soluble, tasteless, and odorless biopolymer widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries due to its excellent film-forming, adhesive, and oxygen barrier properties. Pullulan is biodegradable, non-toxic, and approved for use in various applications requiring edible and biodegradable films.
Xantham Gum
Xantham Gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide produced by fermentation of glucose or sucrose by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. It is widely used as a thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying agent in various industries due to its excellent viscosity properties, even at low concentrations. Xanthan Gum imparts improved texture, consistency, and shelf life to finished products, making it indispensable in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial formulations.
