AURIST™ AGC

AURIST™ AGC is a cationic biopolymer for hair care and body wash applications. This readily biodegradable polymer – according to OECD 301B – is supplied in liquid form and is easy to include in formulations. Developed using IFF’s Designed Enzymatic Biopolymers (DEB) technology, AURIST™ AGC is a multi-award-winning, novel polysaccharide derived from the enzymatic polymerization of glucose from renewable sources (Western European sugar beets).
