Honeywell Asensa® ingredients for personal care products

Film and Barrier Forming


  

Asensa film and barrier-forming products are used in applications where a less greasy and more pleasant feel is needed. These polymers help active ingredients stay evenly distributed in a formulation.

To our varied list of synthetic polymers, we have added a new biopolymer, certified by the Natural Products Association.  This sustainably sourced film former performs comparably against other water based polymeric film formers.  Check out Asensa NFF 11, and look out for other similar introductions that diversify our product portfolio.
