Catalisse™ Cellulose
Sustainably produced natural biopolymer with powerful suspension/stabilization, high clarity and low viscosity
Microbial cellulose is a next-generation natural cellulose designed for personal care. Unlike traditional plant-based cellulose, which is extracted from wood pulp or cotton and primarily acts as a thickener or stabilizer, microbial cellulose is produced via precision microbial fermentation. This process creates an ultra-pure, nanofiber 3D network with exceptional water-binding capacity and transparency. Unlike plant cellulose, it forms an invisible, lightweight structure that effectively suspends particles without impacting formulation viscosity, perfect for clean, visually appealing, and high-performance personal care products.
Catalisse™ Cellulose is a ready-to-use microbial cellulose solution derived from innovative biotechnology. Designed for advanced personal care formulations, it forms an insoluble 3D network that effectively suspends and stabilizes pigments, exfoliating particles, perfume capsules, air bubbles, opacifiers, and insoluble minerals—all while maintaining full transparency and low viscosity. Stable across a wide pH and temperature range, Catalisse™ Cellulose serves as a natural and biodegradable alternative to synthetic acrylates or copolymers. Combining functionality with sustainability, Catalisse™ Cellulose enables formulators to create clean, stable, and high-performance beauty products that look as good as they feel.
