Cellulose Ether
 Cellulose ether refers to a group of chemically modified cellulose derivatives where hydroxyl groups on the cellulose backbone are substituted with ether groups such as methyl, hydroxyethyl, or carboxymethyl groups. These modifications improve solubility, viscosity, and film-forming properties while maintaining biodegradability and non-toxicity. Cellulose ethers are white to off-white powders or granules that dissolve in water to form viscous, stable solutions. They are widely used as thickeners, binders, stabilizers, and film formers in industries such as construction, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and paper.
Cetyl Palmitate
Cetyl Palmitate is a naturally derived ester formed by the reaction of cetyl alcohol and palmitic acid. It appears as a white to off-white waxy solid with a mild fatty odor. This compound is widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial formulations for its emollient, thickening, and texture-enhancing properties. Cetyl Palmitate imparts a smooth, creamy feel to products and contributes to improved stability and consistency in creams, lotions, balms, and ointments. Its film-forming and skin-conditioning attributes make it a preferred ingredient in personal care products as well as in specialty industrial applications.
Cetyl Stearyl Alcohol (CSA)
Cetyl Stearyl Alcohol (CSA), also known as Cetearyl Alcohol, is a blended fatty alcohol consisting primarily of cetyl (C16) and stearyl (C18) alcohols. It appears as white to pale yellow waxy flakes or pellets with a mild fatty odor. CSA is widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products as an emollient, thickener, and co-emulsifier. It enhances texture, improves stability, and provides a smooth, velvety skin feel in formulations. Being a non-ionic surfactant, it also aids in stabilizing oil-in-water emulsions and is favored for its gentle nature on the skin and hair.
Cocamino Propyl Betaine (CAPB) Desmocol
Cocamino Propyl Betaine (CAPB) Desmocol is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids and amino acids. It appears as a clear to slightly hazy liquid with a faint coconut-like odor. CAPB is widely used in personal care and household cleaning products for its excellent foaming, cleansing, and conditioning properties. Being a zwitterionic surfactant, it is compatible with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants, enhancing the mildness and stability of formulations. The 30% active solution is easy to handle and incorporate in various cosmetic and detergent products. It functions as a foam booster, viscosity builder, and anti-irritant agent, making it a versatile ingredient in mild formulations.
GS Powder Mimosa
GS Powder Mimosa is a fine, light to dark brown powder derived from the bark of the Mimosa tenuiflora tree (also known as Mimosa hostilis or Jurema). Rich in tannins and natural polyphenolic compounds, this plant-based powder is widely recognized for its natural astringent, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. It is commonly used in cosmetics, traditional medicine, leather tanning, dyeing, and industrial applications. The powder is biodegradable and sustainable, making it a popular choice for natural product formulations.
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.
Jojoba Wax
Jojoba Wax is a natural, golden-yellow to amber-colored wax ester extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). Unlike traditional vegetable oils, jojoba wax is chemically a liquid wax, known for its excellent stability, moisturizing properties, and similarity to human sebum. It is odorless or mildly nutty and is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical applications as an emollient, thickener, and skin conditioning agent.
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic, water-soluble polymer made by the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. It is known for excellent film-forming, emulsifying, and adhesive properties. PVA is widely used across industries for applications requiring biodegradable, non-toxic, and flexible materials. It offers good chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and compatibility with other polymers and additives.
