Solvents
Category overviewSolvents and carriers are typically clear, low-viscosity liquids. They enhance product stability and texture, commonly used in serums, sprays, and emulsions.
Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include Ethanol, Propylene glycol, and Isododecane. Trends lean toward biodegradable and non-irritating carriers. Sub-types include volatile carriers for quick-dry formulas and emollient solvents for hydration. Regulations ensure compatibility with skin and active ingredients.
Hair care: 55% VOC Fast Drying Stiff Feel Pump Hair Spray
by Ashland
Acrylates/C1-2 Succinates/Hydroxyacrylates Copolymer provides a strong raspy hold with low tack and excellent humidity resistance. PEG/PPG-25/25 Dimethicone aids in spray characteristics by improving dry times and reducing particle size.
Skin Care: Astringent Facial Toner Gel
by Lubrizol
This astringent gel tones and tightens skin, while removing oil from the pores. The AMP-Acrylates/Allyl Methacrylate Copolymer (26%) serves as a film-former and provides the tightening effect, while the PEG-33 and PEG-8 Dimethicone and PEG-14leaves the skin with a smooth, conditioned feel.
Hair care:Styling Foam
by Lubrizol
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.
Toiletries: High Foaming Shower Gel
by Croda
Produces a clear, high foaming, low color, and low odor bath and shower gel. PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate is used to provide the body and viscosity seen in the formula, and PEG-60 Almond Glycerides is used to solubilize the fragrance and maintain the clarity of the product.
Sun Care: PEG-free Sprayable Sunscreen Lotion
by Lubrizol
This EO-free sprayable sunscreen lotion formulated with high levels of organic UV filters delivers a broad UV protection. Pemulen™ TR-2 Polymeric Emulsifier offers efficient and robust emulsion stabilization performance, providing a stable formula at very thin viscosity with low use level of polymer. Schercemol™ DIS Ester is an outstanding solvent for crystalline UV filters, and helps improve the spreadability of the lotion while reducing the greasiness imparted by the sunscreens.
