We manufacture a range of rosin resins and hydrocarbon derivatives which are well established and proven in the personal care market as adhesion promoters, skin conditioners and film formers.

Rosin resins are used in depilatories, makeup, and hair-grooming products, where they function as tackifiers, skin conditioners, or emulsifying agents. Our products help make mascara and lipstick wearable for longer, make lipstick glossy, and help deodorants hold their fragrance.

Our products come from multiple sources. For example, our gum rosin is harvested from live pine trees using a negative carbon process; our hydrocarbon resin is petroleum-based; and our plasticisers and fragrance fixatives are plant-based.
