​​Antaron® Eco ethylcellulose by Ashland is a film former that is derived from sustainably-sourced, zero-deforestation, wood-derived cellulose made in a water-based manufacturing process that minimizes the use of solvents.  It provides excellent water resistance to sun care and color cosmetics products even in 'active' conditions.  It also imparts great aesthetics to formulations and works well in wide pH range, in emulsions (both water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions), anhydrous gels and sprays.

EASTMAN AQ™ 38S POLYMER forms flexible films on the skin. It imparts a smooth feel to creams, lotions, and sprays and adheres to the skin. Thus, it is useful as a film-former in sunscreen products, providing excellent water resistance. AQ 38 is added to the water phase and aids the emulsification of oil-phase UV absorbers. AQ 38 provides improved coverage for sprayable sunscreens.
