Cosmetics & Personal Care Formulations with Solvents

AMP-Acrylates/Allyl Methacrylate Copolymer is incorporated into a crystal clear, weightless styling foam. This product provides strong hold due to the high actives level of the fixative, yet has good properties on wet hair due to the inclusion of PEG-33 and PEG-8 Dimethicone and PEG-14. This styling foam leaves hair with a long lasting hold that remains soft to the touch and free of tack (on both wet and dry hair). In addition, this styling foam has excellent foam quality and foam cell size – created without the use of potentially irritating surfactants.

This formulation demonstrates the use of Acrylates/Acrylamide Copolymer ; Mineral Oil; Polysorbate 85 as a rheology modifier and a primary emulsifier. Dimethicone PEG-7 Isostearate is utilized as a co-emulsifier to enhance stability and create attractive sensory benefits. The cream leaves a fresh and silky feeling on application with a smooth and soft after-feel.

This PEG-free non-oily cream contains jojoba beads to gently exfoliate old skin cells. As it is slowly rubbed into the skin, the slimming agent, Guarana Seed Extract (caffeine) is released. This formula also contains Schercemol™ DISM Ester to provide a luxurious initial melting sensation, and Schercemol™ NGDO Ester to maintain a light, non-greasy afterfeel. This deliciously smelling, non-fattening food for the skin is elegantly stabilized by Carbopol® Aqua CC Polymer, a premier cationic compatible rheology modifier for low pH applications.

A mild, clear foaming cleanser that removes dirt, excess oils and dried sweat residues. It helps to dissolve and loosen epidermal flakes, thus making their shedding less perceptible. Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Lauramide DEA and Babassamidopropylamine Oxide in combination provide the excellent thickening and foaming features. Sucrose Cocoate, an emollient nonionic, is beneficial for improved cleansing and improvement of skin feel on rinse off. PEG-75 Lanolin, because of its super fattening properties, helps to counteract the drying effects which are felt on repeated usage of most cleansers.

This easy-to-formulate, PEG-Free emulsion is a starting point formula for baby wipes. Glucate™ DO Emulsifier, a vegetable-derived emulsifier, is combined with Pemulen™ TR-2 Polymer and Coco-Glucoside to afford efficient co-stabilization in a simple cold process. Schercemol™ 1818 Ester, also derived from vegetable sources, provides emolliency and a soft afterfeel to this emulsion for gentle, yet effective cleansing wipes.

Providing the extra care and conditioning that hair can use after relaxing, this "Wrap Lotion" formulation is applied after the hair has been relaxed and neutralized.

Both products help to plasticize the resin.

A gentle make up remover wipe containing JOJOBA AQUA SOL to moisturize the skin, while acting as a mild, non-ionic surfactant. The product leaves the skin feeling clean and refreshed.
