Poly-Pore® Poly-Pore Microscopic detail Delivery System Oil/Water 20-40

The Poly-Pore® Delivery Systems are multifunctional technologies designed to enhance the performance of ingredients through improving the feel of the cosmetic product both during and after application; the form of the product that can be developed with the targeted attributes; and most importantly the function of the personal care or cosmetic formulation. Through their unique and patented chemical structure, outstanding adsorption capacity, and affinity for hydrophillic or lipophillic ingredients, Poly-Pore can provide you with formulating options as boundless as your imagination.

Poly-Pore 337HP /Hydrogen Peroxide 37%
APPLICATION: Tooth whitening products, Facial and body masks, Loose and pressed powders, and daily use products that deliver oxygen to the skin. Enables simple incorporation of hydrogen peroxide in all types of personal care products, including gels, emulsions, creams, and loose and pressed powders.

Poly-Pore 404HA /Hyaluronic Acid 4%
APPLICATION: Anti-aging and skin renewal creams and make-ups. HA has the ability to be effectively absorbed by the skin as well as serves as an efficient "carrier" of other anti-aging ingredients to cells. That means that the active anti-aging ingredients are transported to the cells through the layers of skin. Entrapped in Poly-Pore the HA releases slower, resulting in improved efficacy.
 
Poly-Pore 350DA /Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) 50%
APPLICATION: designed to provide greater formulation flexibility when designing self-tanning products and to help improve the stability of DHA in contact with reactive compounds that may be present in a variety of formulation types. An excellent way to add self tanning functionality to stick products or to help minimize the interaction of DHA with reactive materials, such as iron oxide in a foundation product.
 
Poly-Pore 375JO /Jojoba Oil 75%
APPLICATION: Skin renewal in gels, creams, and lotions, great in moisturizers, lip products, massage oils, and shaving products. Very stable, non-comedogenic and therefore an exceptional addition to eye make up removers or facial cleansers.
