Biodegradable Additives for Superior Texture and Performance

TEXTURLUX®: The Power of Non-GMO and Biodegradable Additives

In today’s evolving personal care market, the demand for eco-friendly and high-performance ingredients is at an all-time high. Consumers are seeking products that not only deliver results but also align with their values of sustainability, natural sourcing, and biodegradability. Enter Primient’s TEXTURLUX® range, a collection of cutting-edge personal care additives designed to meet these modern formulation needs. Derived from non-GMO, sustainably farmed corn, the TEXTURLUX® range offers formulators a sustainable, biodegradable solution that doesn’t compromise on functionality or performance.

Bio-Based Specialty Polymers

TEXTURLUX® additives are sourced from 100% sustainably farmed corn, making them a reliable option for eco-conscious brands. With an ISO 16128 certification, these ingredients contain over 95% natural content, addressing the industry’s push for sustainability. They are cold-processable, reducing energy use in manufacturing, and offer biodegradability, ensuring minimal environmental impact post-use. Let’s explore the five products within this range, each uniquely designed to meet specific formulation challenges.

TEXTURLUX® Rheo

INCI: Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate
Function: Thickener, Stabilizer, Bulk Agent
Applications: Skin creams, hair conditioners, lotions

Key Benefits:

TEXTURLUX® Rheo is a powerhouse thickener that provides superior texture modification in formulations while maintaining stability across a wide pH range (pH 3-9). It works well in skin creams and conditioners, creating a glossy finish and enhancing the feel of the product. Unlike many synthetic thickeners, it is readily biodegradable and derived from renewable resources. Rheo also features outstanding dispersibility in cold water, making it easy to incorporate into formulations without heating, which can save both energy and time during production.

TEXTURLUX® Feel

INCI: Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate
Function: Thickener, Stabilizer, Bulk Agent
Applications: Gels, creams, lotions

Key Benefits:

TEXTURLUX® Feel offers a unique sensory experience by providing a soft, matte finish in formulations. While it shares many of the functional properties of Rheo, such as thickening and stabilizing, its specialty lies in creating products with a lighter, velvety texture. It’s ideal for use in gel-based products and matte-finish creams where a non-greasy, smooth texture is desired. Like Rheo, it’s cold-processable and biodegradable, making it an eco-friendly choice for formulators who prioritize both texture and sustainability.

TEXTURLUX® Resist

INCI: Maltodextrin
Function: Film Former, Absorbent, Binder, Emulsion Stabilizer
Applications: Hair styling products, sunscreens, eye gels

Key Benefits:

TEXTURLUX® Resist brings exceptional film-forming capabilities to the table, making it an excellent choice for hair styling products and sunscreens that need to maintain long-lasting hold or moisture protection. This starch-based additive also acts as an absorbent, helping to control shine and enhance the stability of emulsions. Additionally, it offers a smooth feel on the skin, supporting both the sensory and functional needs of personal care products. Resist’s natural, biodegradable properties further enhance its appeal in eco-conscious formulations.

TEXTURLUX® Hold

INCI: Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate
Function: Foam Enhancer, Stabilizer
Applications: Sulfate-free cleansers, facial cleansers, body washes

Key Benefits:

TEXTURLUX® Hold is designed to boost foam production in sulfate-free formulations, which are increasingly popular for their gentleness and eco-friendly appeal. It enhances the richness and stability of foam, allowing formulators to create luxurious cleansing products without the need for harsh sulfates. Whether in facial cleansers or body washes, Hold provides a mild yet effective cleansing experience. Its cold-processability, coupled with its plant-based, biodegradable composition, ensures it meets the sustainability goals of modern formulations.

TEXTURLUX® Stabil

INCI: Hydrolyzed Corn Starch Hydroxyethyl Ether
Function: Emulsion Stabilizer, Film Former
Applications: Serums, lotions, hair styling products, sunscreens

Key Benefits:

TEXTURLUX® Stabil is the ultimate stabilizing agent for emulsions. It prevents ingredients from separating, ensuring a smooth and consistent product texture. Ideal for use in serums, lotions, and sunscreens, Stabil also enhances moisture retention, making it perfect for hydrating and long-lasting formulations. This product offers a natural alternative to synthetic film formers like PVP and PVA, making it suitable for green formulations. Its plant-based origin and excellent stability across different pH levels (3-9) make it a versatile and sustainable choice.

A Future of Sustainable Formulations

The TEXTURLUX® range is a reflection of the personal care industry’s shift toward cleaner, more sustainable ingredients. Whether you’re looking to create a luxurious skin cream with a glossy finish, a high-performance sunscreen, or a sulfate-free cleanser with rich foam, TEXTURLUX® offers the solutions you need—all while maintaining your commitment to eco-friendly practices.
