Derived from corn starch, Asensa NFF 11 is used in hair and skin products and is now certified by the Natural Products Association (NPA). According to the company, third-party studies have shown that NFF 11 performs equally as well as synthetic polymers in hair fixative applications. It can also be used in skin care formulations.
NFF 11 is the first Honeywell Asensa product to be based on renewable ingredients, and is ideal for formulations that have a high concentration of renewable ingredient content, said the company.
Honeywell Asensa products are used in a variety of end-use applications ranging from lipsticks to moisturizers to pressed powders. Asensa products increase permanency, emolliency, moisture retention, water resistance and thermal stability. They act as film formers and structuring agents for oils. The line also includes size-regulated materials for exfoliation as well as micronized products (some as low in size as 3 micron) for dry lubrication and binding. The Asensa DS line of zeolites includes odor-absorbing and warming materials.
