Lissenare (INCI: Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Water) is a naturally derived, biodegradable functional saccharide made from starch, primarily composed of isomalto-oligosaccharides. It meets a natural index of 1.0 per ISO 16128, making it well suited for clean-label and eco-conscious personal care formulations.

Lissenare forms a smooth, flexible film that prevents the flaking commonly associated with styling agents and polymers. When combined with fixing polymers, it helps achieve both strong hold and improved flexibility — benefits that are typically difficult to deliver together. For hair treatment products, it improves the suppleness and tensile strength of damaged hair, contributing to a more elegant, manageable texture.

A Nagase innovation certified as Halal and China IECIC listed, Lissenare is a gentle, sustainable ingredient that adds meaningful performance benefits to shampoos, conditioners, styling gels, leave-in treatments, and hair serums.

EstoGel® Max is a concentrate of innovation. It is the perfect combination of two natural and highperformance oil gelling polymers. EstoGel® Max allows the formulation of oily gels over a wide range of viscosity from liquid to solid with excellent suspensive capacities. The network formed has the structure and rigidity of EstoGel® M and the flexibility and flowability of EstoGel® Green. This combination provides your oil phases with optimal compatibility and stability. Its easy processing at 85°C and the transparency of the derived products make this ingredient the ideal substitute for waxes and butters.
