Innovative technology and sustainability are the watchwords defining AkzoNobel Global Personal Care’s upcoming introduction of the new Structure CEL line of polymers for both hair care and skin care applications at the 2011 In-Cosmetics in Milan, Italy.
Drawing upon the abundant technology and chemistry “tool kit” available at AkzoNobel Global Personal Care, the scientists there have applied water-soluble derivatives of cellulose, a renewable raw material, to the development of more sustainable, nonionic rheology modifiers that will deliver potential improvements in efficiency and compatibility compared with competitive ingredients.
The versatile new polymers may be used effectively in a variety of formulations - e.g., as foam boosters and rheology modifiers for sulfate-free or sulfate shampoos; as rheology and texture modifiers for rinse-off and leave-on hair conditioners; as styling polymers and rheology modifiers for hair styling gels, with improved ingredient compatibility; and as thickeners for ethanol-based hand sanitizers that enable the use of benzalkonium chloride.
