UCARE™ Extreme Polymer

Go beyond conditioning with our new bio-derived & biodegradable cellulose technology

You want to both deliver outstanding conditioning performance and engage with eco-conscious consumers? Today’s hair care formulators need innovative ways to meet various consumer interests and trends. 

A unique bio-derived & biodegradable cellulose technology for conditioners, leave-on products and shampoos.

UCARE™ Extreme Polymer is a versatile, bio-derived (>50% bio-derived content) and  inherent primary biodegradable according to OECD test(s) guidelines * technology. This brand new innovation helps you create hair care products that deliver superior conditioning and can match the performance of some silicones, particularly in enhanced combability, reduced breakage, and restored hydrophobicity. It is specifically designed for conditioners, leave-on products and shampoos. 

Responsible sourcing is what consumers trust us to offer. 

This polymer has a cellulosic backbone, naturally sourced from non-GMO wood pulp certified by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).
