KahlWax 6290 Berry is a pale wax derived from the berry fruit peels of the Rhus verniciflua tree, composed primarily of glycerol esters of C16-18 fatty acids. With a partial melt at temperatures below 30°C, it provides a silky, soft feel similar to classic emollients. It creates soft textures, enhances sensory characteristics in O/W emulsions, and serves as an excellent additive for oleogels. Ideal for lip gloss and mascara formulations, it also enhances pay-off in lipsticks and improves break resistance in pencil preparations.

Lipex® L'sens™ is a vegetable-based alternative to lanolin with similar properties in touch, structure, gloss, film building, and water absorption. It is semi-solid at room temperature with a yellowish appearance and neutral odor. Composed of natural glycerides from soybean and shea butter unsaponifiables, it serves as an excellent emollient.

KahlJelly 7036PLUS MB Vego is a vegan blend of natural waxes and oils with a super soft, silky feel for lips and skin. It enhances the pay-off of color cosmetics and balances occlusivity with permeability. Easy to emulsify and compatible with polar emollients, it is a temperature-stable, homogeneous blend with no oil bleeding. This product is certified RSPO Mass Balance quality.

Pur Oxy Red B.C. 4P3551 also known as Iron Oxide Red, is a red pigment used in a variety of color cosmetic applications, including eye makeup, compact powder, foundation, lipstick, and mascara. Available in powder form, it is compliant with EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009 and is suitable for leave-on, lotion, powder, and stick formats.

Dermacryl® 79 is a hydrophobic, high molecular weight, carboxylated acrylic copolymer known for its alcohol solubility. It forms moisture-resistant films, making it ideal for water-resistant products. Additionally, Dermacryl® 79 helps retain active ingredients at the application site by providing resistance to abrasion and rub-off.

Dystar Ultra Pink B.C is a pink pigment used in various personal care applications such as bath and shower, color cosmetics, and skin care. It is suitable for products like bar soaps, skin lotions, and eye makeup. This pigment is known for its light fastness and is compliant with regulations such as EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009 and TSCA (USA). It is commonly used in rinse-off and bar formats and is available in powder form.

Amaze™ Nordic Barley is a 100% natural, unmodified, COSMOS-approved barley starch sourced sustainably from Scandinavia as a side-stream of the beverage industry. With excellent microbial purity, it requires no irradiation or additional treatments. Its unique oblate spheroid morphology provides exceptional sensory benefits in skin and sun care emulsions, acts as a natural oil absorber in dry shampoo, and delivers blurring and nude effects in color cosmetics.

HIPEgel® Oleo is a paste emulsifier designed for oil-in-water emulsions with an oil phase greater than 90%. Derived from natural and plant-based ingredients, it is used in a variety of cosmetic applications, including skin cleansers, facial masks, massage products, and bath oils. Known for its mildness, biodegradability, and preservative-free properties, HIPEgel® Oleo ensures smooth emulsification while maintaining a natural origin. It is suitable for both leave-on and rinse-off applications and enhances the stability and texture of products in gel, paste, and liquid forms.

KahlWax 6202 Micro is a white hydrocarbon wax with chemistry and applications similar to natural ozokerites. It has a higher molecular weight and viscosity compared to most waxes in this group. It offers excellent oil-binding capacity, particularly in lipsticks, where it also regulates melting point and hardness. Additionally, it stabilizes the consistency of W/O emulsions and enhances storage stability without increasing viscosity.

KahlResin 5723MB-AROC is a natural pinewood resin-based film former, enhancing gloss and transfer resistance, and acting as a natural alternative to polybutene in various formulations.

Lipex® BC™ is a blend of refined, hydrogenated, fractionated, and deodorized food-grade vegetable oils and fats. Naturally derived and RSPO certified (both MassBalance and Supply Chain), it offers a creamy texture and soft feel, reducing dry-down in color cosmetic applications. Ideal for pencils, lipsticks, lip liners, and blush, this ingredient is known for its ability to provide a smooth, soft application and is suitable for leave-on formulations, including sticks

KahlWax 8105 Yellow Beeswax is pure beeswax derived from the honeycombs of Apis mellifera. It forms flexible protective layers on the skin and enhances adhesion in formulations, making it an excellent volumizing agent for mascara. In W/O emulsions, pastes, and anhydrous systems like oleogels, it effectively regulates viscosity.

Structure® Xl is a starch-based rheology modifier designed for emulsion stabilization in personal care products. Delivered as a powder, it offers ease of use with immediate cold-water dispersibility, ideal for continuous manufacturing processes. It enhances emulsion stability across a broad temperature range (-30°C to 50°C), builds viscosity, and imparts a conditioning after-feel. Structure® XL can be added to the oil phase or used to adjust batch properties during production. Its nonionic nature and broad compatibility enable formulation flexibility across a wide pH range, accommodating up to 20% mono- and polyvalent salts and various raw materials.

HIPEgel® Oleo C is a highly effective emulsifier designed for oil-in-water emulsions where the oil phase exceeds 90%. This paste is particularly suited for a variety of personal care applications, including skin cleansers, facial masks, massage products, bath oils, and lip care products.
