Garnet Exfoliator 100 - Exfoliating Particle
Garnet Exfoliator 100 - Exfoliating Particle is a natural, biodegradable, GMO-free, and microplastic-free mineral exfoliant derived from finely milled garnet (a metamorphic/igneous mineral rich in aluminum ~25%, silica ~35%, and iron ~30%). Available in 100 µm and 300 µm grades, it delivers tonic mechanical exfoliation, ideal for body scrub formats where a robust, revitalizing action is desired, while still offering options for gentler facial applications. Its natural reddish-brown hue adds a visual signature to formulations without compromising clarity in gels. Stable across both aqueous and anhydrous systems, Garnet Exfoliator maintains its abrasiveness and color, although high-density particles may require optimized suspension strategies. Positioned for clean beauty, it resonates with brands seeking a natural exfoliant alternative to synthetic beads, combining performance, mineral authenticity, and sustainability.

Alter Emulfaba - Natural - Plant-Based - Emulsifier Powders
Alter Emulfaba - Natural - Plant-Based - Emulsifier Powders is a 100 % plant-derived, surfactant-free emulsifier presented as an off-white powder. Sourced from aquafaba (chickpea cooking water), acacia gum, and sclerotium gum, it provides a clean-label, biodegradable solution that is fully compliant with ISO 16128 and COSMOS. It enables formulation of O/W emulsions—from lightweight milks to rich creams—with silicone-like sensory performance, replacing synthetic emulsifiers such as acrylates.
Alter Emulgel - Natural - Plant-Based - Emulsifier
Alter Emulgel - Natural - Plant-Based - Emulsifier is a 100% plant-based powder emulsifier, combining konjac glucomannan, African birch bark extract, and sodium citrate. Its COSMOS- and ISO 16128-compliant formula delivers a silky, silicone-like sensorial experience, enabling the formulation of gel creams and emulsions with no greasy or sticky feel—perfectly replacing acrylate-based emulsifiers.
Alter Gelijac - Natural - Plant-Based - Gelling Agent
Alter Gelijac - Natural - Plant-Based - Gelling Agent is a 100% natural, plant-based gelling powder extracted from konjac root (glucomannan). It forms translucent, high-viscosity gels with a smooth, sensorial texture—an ideal replacement for synthetic polymers such as carbomers or PEG-based thickeners. This natural gelling agent delivers clean-label, biodegradable performance and is entirely vegan.
Alter Gelitium - Natural - Plant-Based - Gelling Agent
Alter Gelitium - Natural - Plant-Based - Gelling Agent is a 100 % natural, non-ionic plant-based gelling powder obtained via fermentation of the Sclerotium mushroom. This COSMOS-compliant, biodegradable ingredient forms ultra-transparent aqueous gels — ideal for lightweight serums, clear cleansers, and glossy masks. It also functions as a co-emulsifier, stabilizing emulsions by creating a network around oil droplets, effectively replacing synthetic polymers such as carbomers or PEG-based thickeners.
