    Maybe hydrophobically modified Chitosan, @Pharma ‘s favorite ingredient might be in this category?  ;)

    Typical hydrophobically modified polymers are found amongst the carbomers and polyacrylates such as Carbopol Ultrez 21. Another one would be ethyl cellulose (often not considered as ‘modified’ due to a too high degree of lipophilic linkers)… it’s not a typical one, behaves differently, and has different uses and perks.
    I admit that I love chitosan. However, I haven’t come across hydrophobically modified one… and now I have to Google that :smiley: .
