Polymers
The most common criteria when choosing a Polymer are its thickening and/or stabilizing capacity. What if your Polymeric Thickener and Stabilizer could take the final formulation one step beyond? What if your Polymer did not only offer solutions to critical issues, such as
  1. Compatibility with UV Filters, Oxidizing Medias, DHA, Electrolytes, Alcohol and Cationic Agents
  2. Wide pH of use
  3. Stabilizing capacity of high amount of oil
but also unique sensorial profile that would differentiate the final product in the market place?
