Innovate with Nouryon’s Sustainable Hair & Skin Care Ingredients

STRUCTURE SILK is a Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate made from non-GMO Potato feedstock. It is cold water soluble, multifunctional rheology modifier, texturizer, and film-former for emulsion and aqueous systems in hair and skin applications.

Structure® M3 co-surfactant is an anionic, hydrophobically modified maltodextrin that significantly reduces the irritation potential of commonly used surfactant systems. Mildness: Structure M3 significantly reduces the irritation potential of the surfactant system without compromising cleansing or foaming. Designed with sustainability in mind, it is available as a waterless, free-flowing powder of high natural content (NOI =85) and is readily biodegradable (per OECD 301B). Additionally, it is cold-water processable and compatible with both sulfate- and sulfate-free surfactant systems. Structure® M3 co-surfactant is compatible with a wide range of commonly used rheology modifiers and emulsion stabilizers such as dehydroxanthan Gum (Amaze® XT polymer), Ceteareth-60 Myristyl Glycol (Elfacos® GT 282S nonionic copolymer), Acrylates Copolymer (Balance® RCFg polymer), Polyethylene Glycols and Carbomer, among others.

ARMOCARE VGH-70 Vegetable ester-based quat provides a luxurious soft silky feel to hair with exceptional wet combing and detangling. Readily Biodegradable conditioning and thickening agent, with better-wet comb-through than BTAC and CTAC in silicone-free formulations. Approved in China Low-melting pastilles allow for easier processing with minimal energy consumption.

Armocare Aqua 12 surfactant is a non-quat hair conditioning agent designed for sustainable, high-performance hair care. It improves conditioning in shampoos and delivers smoothness, detangling, and manageability in conditioners, also functioning as a sole emulsifier when needed. With an NOI of 0.9, it is non-GMO, readily biodegradable, and a sustainable alternative to CTAC and BTAC offering better wet comb-through. Melt point of 61-65 Celsius.
