This nearly tasteless, transparent, high-viscosity liquid has a refractive index of 1.4970. It boosts gloss in hair styling and color cosmetic products while acting as a natural film former to enhance transfer resistance and provide long-lasting performance.

KahlResin 1218 Eco is a transparent, colorless, high-viscosity liquid blend with a high refractive index, compliant with CE Recommendation No° 14. It enhances gloss and viscosity in hair styling and color cosmetic products. With film-forming properties, it provides transfer resistance and long-lasting effects. Its flavorless and colorless nature makes it ideal for light-colored products and lip formulations.

GfN-Selco Chlorophyllin is a natural, environmentally friendly bioactive extracted from Ginkgo biloba leaves, providing a stable chlorophyllin copper complex. Known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and deodorizing properties, it is used in food, cosmetics, and personal care products. Chlorophyllin promotes wound healing, eliminates odors, and enhances skin care formulations with its bright green color and stability to heat, light, and acidic conditions.

GfN-Selco Bamboo Charcoal Powder is made from moso bamboo timber, a sustainable and environmentally friendly material. Bamboo, one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth, regrows from its existing root structure when the culms are cut. The bamboo charcoal is microporous with excellent adsorption properties due to its large specific surface area (200-400 m²/g), making it ideal for use as a deodorizer, purifier, and humidity controller. The bamboo is charred at temperatures above 1000°C, then ground, sieved into various mesh sizes, and packed. The powder consists of pure natural carbon and is not chemically or physically treated for activation.

GfN-Selco Phytosterol Complex 95 % is derived from the lipophilic parts of plants, such as seeds, and functions as a structural component of the cell membrane, similar to cholesterol in human cells. In the skin, phytosterols are stored in the lipid bilayer, contributing to structure and stabilization. They act as natural emulsifiers, forming lipidic protective films on skin and hair, and have anti-irritant properties that reduce erythema and itching. This complex is designed to repair damaged skin and protect intact skin.

GfN-Selco Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate is a water-soluble, anti-inflammatory agent derived from liquorice root. It is converted to the potassium salt form by adding potassium hydroxide. Known for its high surface activity, temperature stability, and ease of formulation, it is non-toxic, preservative-free, and suitable for oily skin. Selco Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate is used in skin and hair care applications such as aftershaves, shampoos, conditioners, and rinses. It functions as a sebum regulator and stabilizing agent, offering anti-irritant benefits. The product complies with COSMOS, EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009, and EC No.1907/2006 standards.

GfN-Selco Alpha-Bisabolol Organic (A) is a clear oily fluid containing at least 95% (-)-alpha-bisabolol, a monocyclic unsaturated sesquiterpene alcohol. Known as an active component of Matricaria chamomilla, it is widely recognized for its anti-irritant and spasmolytic properties. Traditionally, (-)-alpha-bisabolol was extracted from chamomile flowers, which contain about 30% of this active ingredient.

GfN-Selco Biotin USP, also known as Vitamin H or skin vitamin, is a water-soluble B-group vitamin essential for various biological functions. It acts as a co-factor for enzymes, aiding in carboxylation important for gluconeogenesis and fatty acid synthesis. Biotin supports healthy skin, hair, and nails, preventing conditions like skin inflammation, hair loss, and brittle nails. It is commonly found in natural sources like peanuts, blackberries, and leafy greens.

Balance® RCFg is an alkali-swellable acrylic polymer designed for creating crystal-clear hair gels. Serving as both a fixative and rheology modifier, it simplifies formulations by replacing two ingredients with one. It offers exceptional versatility, functioning alone or in combination with Carbomer, fixative polymers, and rheology modifiers to achieve various textures and rheological properties.

Amphomer® LV-71 is a hard-holding, amphoteric acrylic polymer designed for alcoholic and hydroalcoholic hair spray formulations. Its inherently stiff and moisture-resistant composition forms a three-dimensional matrix upon film formation, enhancing stiffness, hold, and moisture resistance. With a molecular weight distribution that enables fine atomization at high solids levels or in low VOC systems, it offers excellent combability, high gloss, and easy removability, even with heavy deposition on damaged hair.

Structure® Solanace™ is a starch-based thickener and emulsion stabilizer known for its soft, velvety after-feel. It maintains stable viscosity and pH over time, even under ambient and accelerated aging conditions. This starch enables reduced surfactant levels, facilitating stable, mild, and more natural emulsions. It is widely compatible with common cosmetic raw materials, offering broad formulation flexibility.

Balance® CR is an acrylate emulsion resin designed for low-VOC aerosol systems. It provides excellent hold and formulation flexibility, making it ideal for meeting regulatory requirements or reducing costs. This resin is particularly suitable for hair care applications, such as hair spray, mousse, hair creams, and styling products. It offers benefits such as corrosion inhibition, strong hold, film formation, and enhanced sprayability. Balance® CR is also Clean Water Act (CWA) Certified, Clean Air Act (CAA) Certified, and compliant with SARA 311/312. It is not listed in California Proposition 65. The INCI name for Balance® CR is Acrylates Copolymer, and it is available in liquid form.

Balance® 47 is a hydrophobically modified acrylic resin designed for superior performance in low-VOC aerosol and pump hair sprays containing water. It mitigates water-related issues such as increased viscosity, larger spray particle size, initial curl droop, extended drying time, and reduced hold and stiffness. Its unique composition and molecular weight distribution enable effective performance across a broad range of hair spray VOC levels, preventing actuator blockage and ensuring efficient hair coating.

Lipex® 102 E-75™ 100% is a water-dispersible, non-ionic surfactant derived from shea butter. It functions as a thickening agent and solubilizer for lipophilic ingredients, allowing the formulation of gentle skin and hair care products. This additive-free ingredient is known for its skin conditioning, hair conditioning, and cleansing properties, while also reducing irritation. Suitable for rinse-off applications, it enhances the texture and effectiveness of cosmetic products, providing benefits for both skin and hair care.

Amphomer® is a hard-holding acrylic polymer widely used in hair styling aids, offering versatile performance. At typical solids levels, it provides a firm hold and excellent style retention, while reduced solids levels deliver a soft, natural hold with good setting properties. Featuring carboxylate and amine functionality, the polymer forms a three-dimensional matrix through ionic associations and hydrogen bonding, ensuring excellent humidity resistance, adhesion, and solubility. Despite its robust performance, it maintains the benefits of a low molecular weight polymer, including fine spray patterns, easy dry combing, and shampoo removability.
