Naternal™ SOFT is a conditioning guar-based polymer optimized for high sensorial performance out of crystal clear or transparent body cleansing and liquid soap products. Naturally-derived, COSMOS-validated, it allows the replacement of synthetic conditioning polymers such as polyquaternium-7. Naternal™ SOFT brings greater skin softness after use and softer, creamier foam during application, for an indulging shower experience. The guar raw material used to produce Naternal™ SOFT is sourced from guar farming villages in Rajasthan that are part of the Sustainable Guar Initiative program. Naternal™ SOFT can be easily formulated in sulfate free, mild and baby cleansing products. This grade is inherently ultimately biodegradable (score B).
