Why Professional Formulators Choose FANCOL® POLYISO® 250-CG:

• Excellent Spreading & Glide Agent: Drastically improves the spreadability of thick creams, sunscreens, and liquid makeups. It allows pigments to glide effortlessly across the skin or lips during application, preventing patchy or uneven distribution.
