Vegetable Based Polymeer
Can anyone recommend a vegetable based polymer for a mascara formulation that will impart transfer resistance and drying? My formula contains, xanthan, alginates, hydroxyethylcellulose but they are not giving me what I need. I don’t want to use plastics and silicone since this is an organic formula.

An Organic product (in the US) is a product that is produced and certified under the USDA NOP Cosmetics program. It is one of the few defined terms in this area.That said, I believe you would need to reveal the Formula (materials, percentages, phases) to really give anyone the tools to adequately troubleshoot the issue and suggest appropriate materials. -
Natpure Film AP from Sensient? Try this maybe. I failed once with natural mascara because of not enought resistance, hope you do better

Hi! Do you know where to purchase in the US in lower quantities? The two suppliers I have spoken to have very large MOQs and I have found the effective percentage to be about 2% in my formula, so it would take me a lifetime to get through a 400lb drum.

Hi there, you can use silicone alternatives like ISOamyl Laurate & the Silc Olives plus you can use Mg Stearate as a binder, water resistant plus non- comodogenic.
hope this helps Catherine -

though not all LexFeels are polymers but rather (volatile) silicone oil replacements. I have no idea whether they work or not.
