Future Origins is commercializing high-volume production of widely-used C12/C14 fatty alcohols (FALCs) from non-palm sources. Our Nalo™-brand FALCs provide a  *drop-in* alternative for a >3 million ton market that offers a traceable, deforestation-free supply chain critical to making surfactants that touch *billions* of consumers. We’ve developed super-efficient engineered microorganisms using biotechnology to deliver competitive economics and an estimated 68% reduction in GHGs.

Polyquaternium-37 is a water-soluble cationic polymer widely utilized in personal care formulations. It serves as an effective antistatic agent, emulsifier, thickener, and film-forming agent. In hair care products, it enhances conditioning, reduces frizz, and improves manageability by neutralizing static charges and providing a non-greasy feel. In skincare applications, it contributes to moisture retention and imparts a smooth, elegant after-feel.

Polyquaternium-33 is a cationic copolymer synthesized from trimethylaminoethylacrylate and acrylamide. It functions primarily as a film-forming agent and antistatic agent in personal care formulations. In hair care products, it enhances hair smoothness, reduces static, and improves manageability. Its compatibility with various surfactants and other formulation ingredients makes it versatile for incorporation into a wide range of cosmetic products.
