Hair care: Hair Permanent Liquid Hair Color – Blonde HP-193
by Croda
It is well known that color treatment can cause hair to become excessively dry. To combat this problem, this formula includes moisturizers like Hydrolyzed Soy Protein and humectants like Lactamide MEA both of which help replenish the hair's moisture content. PEG-20 Almond Glycerides is an emollient and solubilizer for the dyes, while CocamidopropylamineOxide provides conditioning. Cocoamidopropyl Betaine and Cocamide DEA function as rinsing aids for the dyes.
Humectants
Category overviewHumectants are available as clear viscous liquids or crystalline solids that attract moisture to the skin, preventing dehydration. They are widely used in serums, creams, and hair care for lasting hydration and improved spreadability.
Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include Glycerin and Sodium PCA. Regulatory focus includes purity and microbial stability in water-rich formulations. Subtypes include sugar-derived humectants for natural appeal and polyol-based options for enhanced hydration.
Skin Care: Fast Absorbing Facial Moisturizing Cream

Novemer™ EC-2 Polymer offers excellent viscosity building, emulsion stabilization, and sensory modification to this moisturizer which is emulsified by naturally derived Glucate™ SS and Glucamate™ SSE-20 Emulsifiers. Glucam™ E-10 Humectant enhances humectancy and reduces the sticky feel of glycerin in the formulation. The proper combination of Schercemol™ DISM, SHS and CO Esters provides elegant emolliency with enhanced skin hydration as well as a cascading sensory experience to this fast absorbing moisturizing cream.
Toiletries: Antibacterial Hand Wash with Lemon and Aloe Vera Extracts

The naturally-derived Glucamate™ LT Thickener provides efficient thickening and mildness, contributing to the honey-like texture.

Sun Care\Baby Care: Very Water-Resistant Sunscreen Gel for the Body (SPF 25)
by Lubrizol
This lightweight sunscreen offers a surprisingly creamy/cushiony texture without the 'greasiness' of other very water-resistant SPF 25 sunscreens. This formula is also very water-resistant, and is effective against UVA and UVB radiation. Easy-dispersing Carbopol® ETD 2050 Polymer stabilizes the formula while providing long/smooth flow properties. Pemulen® TR-2 Polymer provides emulsification and stabilization of the sunscreen oils. Schercemol™ NGDO Ester provides good spreadability with high slip, and its highly branched structure is ideal for mitigating the oily feel of sun care formulations. Glucam™ E-20 and Glucam™ P-20 Humectants help to increase the water content in the top layers of the skin, while reducing the tackiness often associated with high-glycerin formulations.
