McIntyre Group Partners with Abitec

In alliance with Abitec Corporation, McIntyre Group launched the new Mackaderm line of leave-on skin care raw materials delivering superior emolliency, solvency, pigment-wetting and emulsification to lotions and color cosmetics.  

“Mackaderm was created as a logical extension of our existing competency as a supplier of mild solutions for skin and hair cleansing and conditioning,” states Todd Nelmark, President of McIntyre Group.  

The new skin care line is composed of performance-enhancing additives that provide a significant advantage to cosmetic formulators. Specifically, these multifunctional Mackaderm products include emollients, emulsifiers, opacifying esters, hydrating agents and micro-emulsion blends. The line also features the Abitec Captex line of naturally derived emollient esters. By aligning with Abitec, McIntyre has built a formidable product portfolio delivering just the right functionality or feel the cosmetic formulator is seeking.

“We are pleased to be working with a company with such a solid reputation in the personal care market,” said Abitec director of sales, Lori Saviers. “Our joint technical efforts with McIntyre to offer the skin care technology surrounding our naturally based emollients will provide new insight on some of these traditional materials. Also, we expect that having our more innovative products offered in the Mackaderm line will more effectively bring their message to the skin care market.”
