Energize your color palette with the unmatched intensity and pearlescence that can only be INTENZA®. Experience maximum creative flexibility without the complexities associated with processing organic pigments. For an appearance that will captivate, turn to INTENZA®.

A castor oil alternative emollient, humectant, pigment dispersant, and dye solubilizer used in lipstick, lip gloss and other color cosmetics. It is not only colorless, odorless, and tasteless, but it also has performance properties exceeding those of castor oil. Unlike castor oil, it is completely resistant to lipid oxidation, and thus, it provides lip products with an extended shelf life.

Its high refractive index (RI) allows it to impart shine and gloss to lipstick, lipgloss, hair gloss, hair gel, hair spray, and other hair styling products. It can also reduce the whitening effect of antiperspirants and inorganic sunscreens.

Prepared by extraction of oil from seeds of the Evening primrose, it is naturally rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids with a high content of gamma linolenic acid (GLA, 9%). It allows for an overall younger and smoother appearance of the skin.

A propylene branched polymer that provides soft and flexible gels, it is compatible with silicone, non-polar, and polar oils, and great for creating various textures.

A multi-functional polymeric rheology modifier that is soluble in medium to high-polarity liquid carriers and oils such as esters and natural oils. The product can enable clear, thickened oils or thixotropic, water-repellent gels with film forming properties.

A sulfate-free, anionic surfactant that provides excellent viscosity, foaming and mildness. It is an ideal surfactant for personal care applications.

A suitable 1:1 replacement for Cocamide DEA (on active basis), this readily biodegradable sultaine is derived from coconut oil, and has a similar, yet broader, salt thickening tolerance. It is also cold processable and California Prop 65 approved, making it the most ideal choice for CDEA replacement.

Also known as vitamin B6, it appears to reduce sebum levels and limit the area of oily spots on the skin. In haircare applications, vitamin B6 may stimulate the healthy-looking appearance of hair and contribute to the efficacy of anti-dandruff products. The vitamin itself is a practically odorless, white or almost white, crystalline powder.

A broad-spectrum preservation system that works in a large pH range and is water soluble. It is ideal for sensitive skin and especially useful in high water-content and cold process formulations.

Resulting from decades of research, development and applications testing, SunCROMA® has become widely accepted as the color standard for the cosmetics industry. For the best in bright, bold colors, turn to SunCROMA®.

A very high-purity, narrow-pore, granular form of amorphous synthetic silica which acts as a physical exfoliating agent.

A globally approved high-purity buffer, solubilizer and neutralizer. It has superior color stability, a lower equivalent weight and a higher pKa value when compared to triethanolamine (TEA). It is soluble in water and alcohol, low in toxicity, and more efficient than TEA for developing a high alkaline pH and for neutralizing acid-functional ingredients.

A cutting-edge amino lipid technology, that is a natural and sustainable solution for high-performance hair care. It creates rich textures and provides deep moisturization allowing weightless conditioning that smooths, defines, and strengthens hair. This 100% natural, quat-free hair conditioner is derived from the essential amino acid valine and Brassica napus seed oil.

A 100% natural, ecocertified, biodegradble and sustainable emollient, it provides tack reduction and lessens the greasiness of natural oils. It not only improves skin-feel in creams and lotions, but it also enhances hair's shine and texture when included in conditioners, anti-frizz, and other styling products.

A non-quat conditioning agent that has excellent combing performance, no build up and a superior sustainability profile (83% biobased content). Its cationic charge can be tailored by adjusting the formulation's pH, and it can act as the primary emulsifier to build high-viscosity formulations.

Also known as vitamin B6, it may stimulate the healthy-looking appearance of hair and contribute to the efficacy of anti-dandruff products. In skincare applications, vitamin B6 appears to reduce sebum levels and limit the area of oily spots. The vitamin itself is a practically odorless, white or almost white, crystalline powder.
