AURIST™ AGC
SCROLL TO EXPLORE
Multi-Award-Winning Conditioning Biopolymer
AURIST™ AGC is a biotech-enabled multifunctional conditioning polymer developed using IFF’s proprietary Designed Enzymatic Biopolymers (DEB) technology. Readily biodegradable according to OECD 301B and easy to formulate with, AURIST™ AGC is set to revolutionize the beauty and personal care landscape.
SPOTLIGHT
Hair leave-on
In a hair spray formulation containing AURIST™ AGC, it has been shown that AURIST™ AGC can help improve hair manageability & provides heat protection.
When using AURIST™ AGC in leave-on formulations, such as a styling spray, hair is more manageable, providing light hold.
Easy to Formulate With
| Compatible with a wide range of commonly used personal care ingredients, AURIST™ AGC does not require pH neutralization or pre-mix. | It is supplied in the format of a liquid that is easy to pour, and cold processable. |

Efficacy remains top priority
Consumers prioritize ingredient effectiveness and are generally unwilling to compromise on performance, even for sustainability. Science-backed ingredients and validation are increasingly important. Biotechnology is transforming the hair care industry by providing sustainable, high-performance alternatives to traditional ingredients.
-
54%of consumers who research ingredients are looking to better understand product effectiveness.
-
67%of adults agree that it is important for the benefits of natural/organic products to be backed by science.
Breaking the Trade-off Between Performance and Sustainability
The DEB process allows us to access unique, structurally-diverse polysaccharides—like those found in nature—at scale and under mild process conditions. This provides an unprecedented design space for enhanced performance. Using only plant-based sugars, water, and our favorite biocatalyst—the enzyme—we can now design functional, biobased, biodegradable materials without compromising performance.
Highly Customizable
The enzymatic process enables tailored polymer properties, which can then be further modified with a variety of functional groups– expanding the material design space to be even more flexible.
Structural Uniformity
The precisely controlled enzymatic process ensures excellent structural uniformity for the DEB materials. This offers high reproducibility and little batch-to-batch variation.
Designed for Biodegradability
Biodegradability is intrinsic to polysaccharide materials. Tailoring the molecular structure allows DEB to meet or exceed required product performance while still meeting biodegradability requirements across application areas.
