Personal Care & Cosmetics Industry

Geochem polymers are custom designed to help our clients meet their raw material formulating challenges, whether trying to improve the environmentally friendliness of their products by using our water base polymers, low-VOC polymers, UV products, greener chemistries or by enhancing the overall elegance of their products. Just as our polymers have been used by manufacturers producing specialty glitter and sparkles for the automotive, textile and fashion industry, these same products have been used by the personal care and cosmetics industry to enhance the aesthetics of lipsticks, make-up, nail polish and other personal care and cosmetic products.
