Acrylates/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Copolymer is a high-efficiency polymeric thickener that contains a 22-carbon alkyl chain connected to the polymer backbone with a 25-mole ethylene oxide flexible extender. It dissolves readily in cold and warm water and can be cold-processed.
Polymers
Allyl Methacrylates Crosspolymer is a synthetic porous polymer derived from the suspension polymerization method, similar to that used to make latex paints. It forms spherical particles with a median size of about 40 μm.
Brookswax P is a non-ionic self-emulsifying wax based on cetyl, stearyl alcohols, and ethoxylated sorbitan ester. It has an approximate HLB of 8, making it ideal for forming stable o/w emulsions with mineral oil and other commonly used hydrophobic emollients.
Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is a modified synthetic polymer. It is a clear, water-white, viscous liquid without odor. Its viscosity, flash point, and specific gravity depend on the average molecular weight (polymerization level), which ranges from 350 to 1300 Daltons.
PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Trioleate is a methyl glucoside derivative (ethylene oxide on a methyl glucoside backbone), a vegetable-based liquid thickener with a three-dimensional structure.
PEG-35 Soy Glycerides is a water-soluble ethoxylated vegetable oil derivative from refined soybean oil. It is a waxy paste that is stable under pH extremes, nonionic, and compatible with other ionic species in formulation.
Polyisobutene is a general name for a wide range of aliphatic branched-chain polymeric hydrocarbons C56 –C856. It is a clear, colorless, odorless, viscous liquid with a good safety profile.
Polyquaternium-51 is a biocompatible Butylmeth-acrylate-based polymer that is polymerized with 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), which has a similar structure as a human cell membrane phospholipids.
PPG-2-Isodeceth-12 is a nonionic alkoxylate surfactant. It is a pourable white paste, emulsifier with an HLB value of 15. It is used as a fragrance solubilizer.
PPG-30 Cetyl Ether is a 30-mole propoxylate of stearyl alcohol, a light yellow liquid.
PPG-30 Cetyl Ether imparts softness and flexibility to the skin without an occlusive feel. It is a high molecular weight fluid yet is easily emulsified and stable to extreme pH values.
PPG-5-Ceteth-20 is an alkoxy ether of cetyl alcohol, a heteropolymer of ethylene and propylene oxides. It is a water-soluble nonionic liquid surfactant.
Steareth-10 is an ethoxylated stearyl alcohol with ten moles of ethylene oxide, a soft solid with a mild, characteristic odor (virtually odorless).
Vinyl Caprolactam/VP/Dimethylaminoethyl Methacrylate Copolymer is a Polyvinylcaprolactam derivative used in alcohol-free styling products as a water-soluble film former and high-performance and exceptional fixative polymer with pseudo-cationic functionality.
