Polysaccharides
For polysaccharide hydration and film forming
Polysaccharides
Fungal, marine, ferment and plant polysaccharides — from tremella and fucoidan to beta-glucan, levan and polyglutamic acid.
This collection currently holds 25 raw materials. Most materials ship in 50 g, 225 g, 1 Kg and 5 Kg packs. High-value absolutes, isolates, ceramides and peptides ship on a small-pack ladder of 10 g, 50 g, 100 g and 1 Kg. Every pack comes with a Certificate of Analysis, SDS and technical data sheet.
Every product page lists the INCI or technical name, the CAS number where one is assigned, ingredient family, source and feedstock, origin, typical form, solubility, recommended use level and pH window, addition phase, market status, storage, shelf life, the documentation supplied and a full regulatory note.
