Today, formulators are under pressure to use nature-derived polymers and antimicrobials in their emulsions. However, current fossil-derived alternatives do not meet expectations, because of low performance or unacceptable drawbacks. Ashland offers disruptive solutions to ease formulators’ lives.

Stabileze™ s polymer is an all-in-one starch-based solution to provide versatile thickening and effortless stabilization of emulsions along with stunning aesthetics, similar to acrylates-type polymers, to address all challenges at once.

Effisin™ em natural multifunctional is an entirely nature-derived, readily biodegradable, water-soluble antimicrobial with strong fungi boosting that replaces traditional preservatives to ensure formulation integrity.

Together, they enable eco-friendly formulations that meet regulatory and consumers’ demands.
