A Fresh Perspective on Traditional Ingredients
At Applechem, we believe in effective, user-friendly solutions that are, above all, consistently high quality. An Applechem product should represent a quality-of-life improvement for formulators on the bench as well as the compounders in the production plant.

Developing clear and high perfume oil surfactant formulations with a multi-arm non-ionic associative thickener
Perfume is an important product attribute that differentiates a given personal cleansing product from others in a crowded market. However, it remains technically challenging to incorporate a high % of perfume oil (≥ 2%) into shampoo or shower gel formulations without adverse effects on clarity, target viscosity, and foaming. This technical challenge has become more significant as the market continues to move towards skin friendly non-sulfate cleansing formulations with non-sulfate surfactants such as alpha olefin sulfonate (AOS) and mild amino-acid based surfactants such as sodium cocoyl glutamate.

Innovating Ingredients & Materials for Suncare, Personal Care, & Cosmetic Formulations
As an industry-leading cosmetic technology company, Applechem develops cutting-edge materials for innovative, eco-conscious cosmetic formulators. Applechem specializes as a supplier of diverse intermediates and ingredients for suncare, personal care, and cosmetic formulations.
What truly sets Applechem apart from other cosmetic tech suppliers is not its 18,000-square-foot New Jersey-based facility, but its team of progressive thinkers driven to develop more reliable, broadly-effective products and solutions with an emphasis on user friendliness.
From the onset, we have made it out mission to push the envelope in technological innovation in order to expand the range of options for cosmetic formulators worldwide. Today, we create ingredients and materials that solve formulation issues plaguing the skincare and cosmetic industries for years.
Let’s Get Technical
We have developed a transformative non-ionic associative thickener that boosts viscosity in personal cleansing formulations containing high amounts of fragrance while still maintaining foaming properties. We have also engineered natural dispersions that provide the most efficient combination of high-transparency, broad spectrum protection, and SPF performance in a stable, liquid dispersion.
We have also created an advanced dispersing system for uncoated, hydrophilic color pigments, allowing formulators to disperse these pigments into oil at astonishing concentration levels; an advanced synthetic polymer blend that is a flexible, anhydrous structurant with many unique applications in personal care and color cosmetic formulations.
Other products we have innovated include a completely natural analogue for synthesized, bacterially-fermented hyaluronic acid and organically modified hectorite clay.
What We Offer—Beyond Our Products
In addition to engineering this revolutionary products, we believe in strong, responsive technical support and customer service to assist our customers with any questions they may have about these intermediates and ingredients. We also recognize that when it's time to scale up from lab experiments to large-batch productions, it’s our responsibility to provide a stable product with consistent, reproducible quality. Our clients can count on us to deliver this quality every time.
