Lubrizol new launchment

Lubrizol Life Science Beauty offers Sensomer™ Tar, a natural, biodegradable, multifunctional, film-forming polymer and thickener with a high sensory and synergistic component that makes it different from other thickeners. One of its characteristics is its natural flexibility, it is able to obtain an enhanced consumer sensory experience in skin care, hair care and colouring applications.

In skin care applications, Sensomer™ Tara polymer has a silky feel without drag or stickiness, while its creamy texture provides good pick-up without stringiness. A blind test revealed a perception that the polymer is softer and less tacky during application, with less pilling in afterfeel.

Sensomer™ Tara polymer is COSMOS approved, vegan friendly and microbiome friendly. It is readily biodegradable (according to OECD 301F), 100% NOC (according to ISO16128) and obtained by a 100% mechanical process in the Tara endosperm.
