  Kelco-Care from CP Kelco/Lubrizol (INCI: Sphingomonas ferment extract)

  Has anyone seen this for sale in the USA, small-pack?

  What about overseas? Even my reliable Thai place…. I don’t find it.

  Does it have a synonym I am not finding?

  Aloha.

  Is this the poor man’s option?

  My guess is you won’t find that product from a repacker. CP Kelco (now Tate & Lyle) is one of the only manufacturers I’m aware of for personal care, and Lubrizol is the exclusive distributor. It is also known as diutan gum, so you may have better luck searching that. The high acyl product you linked is pretty different, what is the application/intended use for the polymer?
