Toiletries: Sweet 'n Salty Exfoliating Body Scrub
by Lubrizol
This two phase exfoliating scrub utilizes natural sea salt as a scrubbing agent to help clear skin for a soft, smooth afterfeel and natural avocado oil for emolliency. Glucate™ DO emulsifier acts as an excellent non-oily emollient and imparts a satiny feel to the final product. Glucam™ P-20 humectant delivers humectancy with a lubricious, emollient feel. Chemoxide™ SO surfactant provides foaming and cleansing properties for a clean feeling result.
Hair Care: Hair Molding Paste
by Lubrizol
This molding paste is formulated with Fixate™ Superhold Polymer, which provides advanced holding technology to achieve tousled, messy styles. This formula also contains Schercemol™ DID Ester, Glucam™ E-10 Humectant and other emollients that help to define the hair style and leave hair with a polished finish. This formulation is stabilized by using Noveon® Consumer Specialties' versatile PSN - Polymeric Emulsion System at low use level which contributes to its light and non-greasy feel.
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.
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.
Sun Care: After Sun Skin Calming Gel
by Lubrizol
This Soothing and Moisturizing After Sun Gel contains a combination of botanicals, skin conditioners and Glucam™ E-20 Humectant which soothes irritated
skin, increasing the user's sense of well being. This light green sparkling gel provides a pleasant non-tacky skinfeel due to the use of Carbopol® Ultrez 20
Polymer, Hydramol™* PGPL Ester and SilSense®* DW-18 Silicone.
Baby Care: Shampoo & Body Wash for Babies and Kids
by Lubrizol
This cleansing formulation leaves the skin feeling smooth and moisturized. Glucamate™ DOE-120 Thickener and Glucquat™ 125 Humectant, two naturally-derived ingredients, add body and provide a rich skinfeel. Chemonic™ LI-7 Surfactant is a naturally-derived low irritation nonionic surfactant that boosts viscosity and emolliency.
