Introducing Glossamer L-6600

1/24/2012 3:40:34 PM

Glossamer L-6600 is a new, natural polymer for skin, sun and hair care applications.

Glossamer L-6600 is an environmentally friendly polymer with unparallel performance and offers formulation flexibility. Glossamer is produced by the copolymerisation of purified vegetable oils in the absence of any solvent, catalyst or additive. The moisturising, conditioning and high solvency properties of the natural oils are maintained while polymerisation builds molecular weight and viscosity. Film forming features confer benefits including gloss, water and wear resistance.

An environmentally and consumer friendly position is retained due to Glossamer’s natural basis, non-animal character, purity and biodegradability.

Glossamer natural polymer offers the following benefits:

To Skin

  • Moisturisation
  • Soft smooth after-feel
  • Water & rub-off resistance
  • Fragrance & active fixation
    SPF enhancement

To Hair

  • Shine & gloss enhancement
  • Conditioning
  • Improved wet & dry combing
  • Silky after-feel

INCI name: Brassica Campestris/Aleurites Fordi Oil Copolymer
Recommended for use in a range of cosmetic applications, including shampoos, conditioners, sunscreens, lip balms, creams, lotions, soaps and bath oils.
