Vegetable-based,sustainable,Silicone oil alternatives
Q
Can you provide any sustainability guarantees?
A
Yes, we do.
We attach great importance to sustainability. In 2003, our company acquired the ISO14001 certification, an international environmental standard that aims to preserve the environment by minimizing the impact of corporate activities.
Our company joined RSPO in 2012 and obtained supply chain certification in 2018. All our palm-derived products can be purchased as RSPO MB (Mass Balance) certified.
In order to meet the increasing standards for safety and security around the world, we are also actively acquiring ECOCERT and COSMOS registrations.
Please refer to the following page for more information about RSPO and COSMOS.

Q
What are your COSMOS approved products?
A
Yes, we do.
More than 20 of our products are approved by COSMOS, including RISOCAST MIS (HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL ISOSTEARATE), RISOREX PGIS23 (POLYGLYCERYL-2 TRIISOSTEARATE), KAK HL (HEXYL LAURATE), HAISUGARCANE BG (BUTYLENE GLYCOL), DIOL PD-V (PENTYLENE GLYCOL) and ALCOHOL NO.20-B (HYDROGENATED RAPESEED ALCOHOL).
Q
What are your other natural products products with a NOI of 1?
A
Yes, we do.
Our products HAILUCENT ISDA (POLYGLYCERYL-2 ISOSTEARATE/DIMER DILINOLEATE COPOLYMER) and RISOCAST DA-L (HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL DIMER DILINOLEATE) are approved by ECOCERT and have a natural origin index of 100% according to ISO16128.
Q
Do you provide alternatives to silicone oils?
A
Yes, we do.
We provide esters that can be used as sensorial alternatives to silicone oils. To replace light silicones, we suggest using our low viscosity esters such as NEOLIGHT 100P (ISODECYL NEOPENTANOATE), ES108109 (ETHYLHEXYL ISONONANOATE), KAK 99 (ISONONYL ISONONANOATE) or KAK HL (HEXYL LAURATE).
The same oils used in combination with volatile hydrocarbons can replicate some of the sensorial properties of volatile silicone oils.
In place of viscous silicone oils, we recommend our RISOCAST MIS (HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL ISOSTEARATE) and HAILUCENT ISDA (POLYGLYCERYL-2 ISOSTEARATE/DIMER DILINOLEATE COPOLYMER).
Foundation,Lip
Q
What is the range of lipsticks that can be formulated with your products?
A
Yes, we do.
We recommend combining RISOCAST DA-L (HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL DIMER DILINOLEATE) and RISOCAST ODSHS (OCTYLDODECYL STEAROYL STEARATE) to make a lipstick that keeps lips hydrated.
Using products with a high refractive index such as HAILUCENT ISDA (POLYGLYCERYL-2 ISOSTEARATE/DIMER DILINOLEATE COPOLYMER) in combination with KAK TCIN (TRICYCLODECANEMETHYL ISONONANOATE) maximizes gloss in lipstick formulations.
We recommend combining RISOCAST MIS (HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL ISOSTEARATE) and TCG-M (CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE), approved by COSMOS and compatible with natural waxes, to create a COSMOS lipstick.
Combining HAILUCENT DPIN6 (DIPENTAERYTHRITYL HEXAISONONANOATE) with RISONOL 20SP (OCTYLDODECANOL) makes a velvety lipstick with a satin-smooth texture.
Using HAILUCENT ISDA (POLYGLYCERYL-2 ISOSTEARATE/DIMER DILINOLEATE COPOLYMER) in combination with NPDC (NEOPENTYL GLYCOL DICAPRATE) allows for a solid and resistant lipstick.
Q
What do you recommend in a lip gloss or a lip oil?
A
Yes, we do.
In lip gloss, we recommend using HAILUCENT ISDA (POLYGLYCERYL-2 ISOSTEARATE/DIMER DILINOLEATE COPOLYMER) for a long-lasting rich texture and RISOCAST DA-L (HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL DIMER DILINOLEATE) for a lighter, velvet feel.
Q
What oils can I use for pigment dispersion and to improve coverage and radiance of foundations?
A
Yes, we do.
We recommend using NEOLIGHT 100P (ISODECYL NEOPENTANOATE) and HAIMALATE DIS (DIISOSTEARYL MALATE) for treated inorganic pigments dispersion, KAK DADIP-R (DIISOPROPYL DIMER DILINOLEATE), RISOREX PGIS23 (POLYGLYCERYL-2 TRIISOSTEARATE), RISOREX PGIS22 (POLYGLYCERYL-2 DIISOSTEARATE) and HAIMALATE DIS (DIISOSTEARYL MALATE) for untreated inorganic pigments dispersion, and RISOREX PGIS22 (POLYGLYCERYL-2 DIISOSTEARATE) for organic pigments dispersion.
Clear lipstick
Q
What is your best gelling agent for lip tint sticks?
A
Yes, we do.
AJK-IS3613, our premix of DIBUTYL LAUROYL GLUTAMIDE and DIBUTYL ETHYLHEXANOYL GLUTAMIDE in ISOSTEARIC ACID EX, is ideal for lip tint sticks with a colorless and transparent appearance.
Q
What gelling agent can you recommend for high transparency clear sticks?
A
Yes, we do.
Applications of transparent sticks are no longer limited to lip make-up and now include sun care, hair care, fragrances, and many others yet to be discovered. Our AJK-OD2046, a premix of DIBUTYL LAUROYL GLUTAMIDE and DIBUTYL ETHYLHEXANOYL GLUTAMIDE in RISONOL 20SP (OCTYLDODECANOL), can be used in high transparency clear stick formulations.
Q
How can I prevent sweating and cracking to improve the quality of my transparent sticks?
A
Yes, we do.
As we have conducted extensive research on transparent sticks formulation, we can provide technical advice to help you improve your product design. We also have a range of esters that can be used to improve transparency like our KAK TCIN (TRICYCLODECANEMETHYL ISONONANOATE), and reduce sweating and cracking like our TISG-A (TRIISOSTEARIN).
Skincare,Cleansing
Q
What can I use to improve the texture of a skin cream?
A
Yes, we do.
We recommend using ALCOHOL NO.20-B (HYDROGENATED RAPESEED ALCOHOL) in alpha-gel based creams, in combination with EIS-V (ETHYL ISOSTEARATE) for a light-feeling cream or with RISOCAST ODSHS (OCTYLDODECYL STEAROYL STEARATE) for a richer texture.
Our AMINACTOL OLH (N-OLEYL HYDROXYHEXANAMIDE) can also be used as either a W/O or O/W emulsifier.
Q
What can I use in a cleansing formulation?
A
Yes, we do.
NEOLIGHT 100P (ISODECYL NEOPENTANOATE), KAK 99 (ISONONYL ISONONANOATE) and KAK HL (HEXYL LAURATE) are low viscosity oils with an excellent cleansing power. For a richer feel to your cleansing formulations, HAIAQUEOUSTER DCS (BIS-ETHOXYDIGLYCOL SUCCINATE) or KAK DADIP-R (DIISOPROPYL DIMER DILINOLEATE) also present good make-up removal results.
Q
What oils can I use in an oil serum formulation?
A
Yes, we do.
KAK HL (HEXYL LAURATE) is perfect for light oil serums, and RISOCAST ODSHS (OCTYLDODECYL STEAROYL STEARATE) will impart a richer texture.
Suncare
Q
What are your products recommended for sun care?
A
Yes, we do.
Some of our oils are particularly excellent in dissolving solid UV absorbers such as KAK DIBA (DIISOBUTYL ADIPATE), TCG-M (CAPRYLIC / CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE), KAK DIOS (DIETHYLHEXYL SUCCINATE), KAK TCIN (TRICYCLODECANEMETHYL ISONONANOATE), ICEH (HEXYLDECYL ETHYLHEXANOATE), KAK HL (HEXYL LAURATE), KAK NDO (NEOPENTYL GLYCOL DIETHYLHEXANOATE) and HAILUCENT DPIN6 (DIPENTAERYTHRITYL HEXAISONONANOATE).
Q
Do you provide SPF boosters?
A
Yes, we do.
Our AMREPS SS (STEARYL STEARATE) has an SPF-boosting and UVAPF-boosting effect in UV absorbers-based O/W type UV creams.
hair care
Q
What is the application of your products in hair care?
A
Yes, we do.
Some of our esters, such as ICIS (HEXYLDECYL ISOSTEARATE), ISIS (ISOSTEARYL ISOSTEARATE), TISG (TRIISOSTEARIN) and KAK PTI (PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRAISOSTEARATE), have an outsanding effect to prevent hair moisture transpiration and damage hair roughness.
NEOLIGHT 100P (ISODECYL NEOPENTANOATE), ES108109 (ETHYLHEXYL ISONONANOATE) and IPM-R (ISOPROPYL MYRISTATE) and other light esters are able to deeply penetrate hair and soften it.
Q
What are your recommended products for shampoos and treatments?
A
Yes, we do.
Adding HAILUCENT ISDA (POLYGLYCERYL-2 ISOSTEARATE/DIMER DILINOLEATE COPOLYMER) to shampoo improves the feel of damaged hair and combability after rinsing.
In hair treatment, RISOCAST MIS (HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL ISOSTEARATE) gives the hair a moist feeling similar to a highly polymerized silicone blend, AMINACTOL OLH (N-OLEYL HYDROXYHEXANAMIDE) reduces damage during rinsnig and improves combability, and AMREPS SS (STEARYL STEARATE) brings smoothness and a moist feeling as well.
Q
Do you offer products for hair color formulations?
A
Yes, we do.
NEOLIGHT 100P (ISODECYL NEOPENTANOATE) demonstrated color fixing properties when added to a commercially available hair color. AMINACTOL OLH (N-OLEYL HYDROXYHEXANAMIDE) improves dyability of hair color treatments and reduces fading and transfer of color when used in color shampoo.
