Leading alternative natural technologies
Known for their leadership in the space of sustainability and naturally-derived ingredients, our partners at INOLEX have developed a suite of exceptional silicone alternatives under the LexFeel™ series, as well as the ClariSilk™ series, for use in hair care, skin care and color cosmetics. These ingredient lines provide a range of sensorial benefits, in addition to functional benefits such as pigment dispersion, shine enhancement, tack reduction, conditioning benefits and more.
Many of these products are USDA certified Biobased, 100% natural and/or RSPO Mass Balance certified to help you formulate highly effective products.
