Sensory enhancers for color cosmetics 

Our expertise and product application know-how has allowed us to develop natural ingredients to respond demanding challenges facing today's formulators. Our range of naturally derived sensory enhancers enables clean-labeled cosmetics, with an excellent environmental and regulatory profile.

  • Dry-Flo® PC Enhances aesthetics by reducing the greasiness and tackiness as well as controlling the gloss caused by oil-phase components. This naturally derived (starch) oil absorber is an essential ingredient to enhance the aesthetics of a variety of personal care formulations.
  • Dry-Flo® TS An aluminum-free, non-GMO modified tapioca starch ideal for reducing greasiness, gloss, and tack in the most oily formulations. Its low protein content is ideal for formulations for sensitive skin and reduced allergy concerns.
  • Tapioca Pure Naturally derived, it’s a high purity, GMO free, economic aesthetic enhancer alternative for formulators. It can reduce gloss and perceived oiliness in anhydrous formulations. Also, a cost efficient bulking agent.
  • Amaze™ Nordic Barley COSMOS approved barley starch, providing excellent soft-focus effect without the need of any chemical modification or irradiation.
  • Purity® 21C Pure An unmodified corn starch that can serve as an economical and effective oil absorber as well as cost efficient bulking agent.
  • Dry-Flo® Elite BN Surface treated with boron nitride, its platelet particle shape provides a high degree of slip and lubricity to cosmetic formulations. Dry-Flo Elite BN starch exhibits a very lubricious feel, better coverage, and improved adhesion.
  • Dry-Flo® Elite LL Surface treated with lauroyl lysine, which provides a soft and smooth feel to formulations. The naturally derived amino acid derivative is hydrophobic with good adhesion properties. Dry-Flo Elite LL exhibits increased skin adhesion, softness and matte coverage.
  • NatraSorb® HFB It has a high capacity for loading oils and can be used for skin oil control or as a delivery vehicle for fragrance oils. The product (starch based) can also be used as an additive in formulations to help mitigate syneresis, and to assist in high loading of oil into final products.
  • NatraSorb® BATH A specialty starch that enables stunning anhydrous skin care formulations. Due to its unique processing, it can absorb and carry large quantities of oils and anhydrous liquids, releasing them with shear or upon contact with water.

Film formation – Dermacryl® and SolAmaze™ polymers enhance make-up properties for extreme wear resistance

Consumer expectations with respect to the performance of their color cosmetics are becoming increasingly difficult to meet. This is especially evident with lip sticks, mascaras and eye liners. Customers expect longer lasting products, yet they want them to be more easily removed. They want products which are substantive yet remain soft and natural feeling.

  • Dermacryl® C This film former polymer is particularly well suited for use in O/W mascara and eye liner formulations. This polymer offers a number of consumer-friendly benefits because it forms clear, substantive, flexible films which can improve resistance to wear, enhance water resistance, build volume, and give a soft natural feel.
  • SolAmaze™ Natural A novel bio-based, biodegradable, film-forming polymer that offers superior wear resistance and pleasing aesthetics. As a lipophilic polymer, it is easily incorporated into the most common makeup formats.
  • Dermacryl® 79 Compatible with fatty alcohols, Dermacryl 79 polymer can be easily incorporated into lip products like lip stains and lip sticks. Its unique composition enables extreme wear protection claims, reducing the product transfer to a minimum.
