What are Vegan-Friendly Biopolymers for Cosmetics?

PERFORMA™ V-150 is a novel biopolymer that combines the polymerization of synthetic wax and plant-based triglycerides.  The plant triglycerides are derived from botanical sources of soy that can be used as a potential replacement for beeswax and are also compatible with all vegetable waxes.  With this unique combination, it inherits both the benefits of synthetic wax and natural wax.  It is a low-melt white solid wax that is used as an emollient, skin conditioning agent, occlusive film former, for aesthetics, and is vegan and eco-friendly! 

Benefits of PERFORMA™ V-150
