Cosmetics & Personal Care
At NOF America, we believe the future of personal care isn’t just about what you add—it’s about what you engineer. With decades of high-purity polymer chemistry and specialty materials innovation, we design cosmetic ingredients that go beyond aesthetics: to deliver performance, safety, and sensory excellence. Explore our portfolio of barrier-film polymers, botanical actives, and functional modifiers that empower skincare, haircare and cleansing applications.
Engineered Performance & Biocompatible Formulation
Why Choose Our Cosmetic Materials
✓ Science-Driven Innovation – Our flagship polymer platform such as Lipidure® utilises MPC-monomer chemistry (2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) to mimic phospholipid polar groups, delivering ultra-hydrophilicity and excellent compatibility.
✓ Film & Barrier Function – Lipidure-based materials form lamellar nano-structures on skin and hair surfaces, enabling improved moisture retention, reduced irritation, and enhanced barrier integrity.
✓ Affinity & Sensory – Polymers such as Ceracute® are engineered to imitate natural ceramides, providing excellent skin/hair affinity and anti-ageing film effects without stiffness.
✓ Botanical & Functional Actives – Our functional extracts (e.g., camellia, turmerics, verbena) support natural-inspired claims while being backed by rigorous material science.
✓ Global & Technical Support – With NOF’s expertise in interfacial chemistry R&D and NOF America’s regional service, you gain access to advanced materials along with local supply‑chain and regulatory support.

Original Polymers
Biomimetic Actives
NOF supplies multi functional materials like phosphorylcholine conjugated polymers called Lipidure® based on our fine synthetic technique. We keep developing raw materials with expanding our synthesizing technique to meet rapid changing market requirement.
-
Botanical & Natural Origin
Functional Actives
Given the inherent economic potential in the use of natural resources in ecosystems, plant extracts have been used in cosmetic science to beautify and maintain the physiological balance of the human skin and hair for decades. In comparison to synthetic ingredients, herbal products are mild and biodegradable, exhibiting low toxicity.

Surface Control Technologies
Water‑Soluble Moisturizing Oils
A multifunctional cosmetic base material developed with NOF’s advanced synthesis technology. This amphiphilic ingredient dissolves in both water and oil, providing high moisturization comparable to leading humectants. It spreads smoothly with excellent skin affinity, offering a lightweight, non‑sticky feel that elevates the sensory quality of formulations.
