From May 6 to 8, 2026, Indonesia Cosmetic Ingredients (ICI), the authoritative cosmetic ingredients event in Southeast Asia, was grandly held at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta. As the global 2nd largest top leading manufacturer of carbomer and acylates copolymers, Anhui Newman Fine Chemicals made a splendid appearance together with local partners. With premium products, cutting-edge technologies and localized services, we successfully completed this in-depth market expansion journey in Southeast Asia and wrapped up the exhibition with fruitful achievements.

Centering on market demands, Newman Chemical showcased its full product portfolio covering daily chemical skincare, cleansing & care, oral care, pharmaceutical excipients and other diversified application scenarios. All products have obtained BPJPH Halal certification of Indonesia, perfectly catering to local market requirements. During the exhibition, our technical and business teams provided one-on-one consultation, on-site demonstrations and case sharing, professionally addressing customers’ inquiries about product performance, formula optimization and production adaptation, fully demonstrating the company’s strength in R&D, production and comprehensive services.

Among all exhibited products, the traditional cost-effective carbomers stood out as the preferred raw materials for basic formulas with mature formulations and stable performance. Hot-selling models including 970, 960, 990, 981, 941 and 934 boast a light transmittance of over 95%. Relying on reliable thickening and suspending properties, they lay a solid quality foundation for basic cleansing and skincare products, ensuring excellent skin feel and formula stability with outstanding cost performance.

The modified carbomers represent a major technological breakthrough, with upgraded models such as 35, 1, 20, 21, 10 and 30. While inheriting the core advantages of traditional carbomers in efficient thickening and suspension, they greatly optimize ease of use: they can self-wet and disperse within minutes, and maintain high-efficiency thickening performance in a wide pH range of 4~11. They not only improve formula compatibility but also shorten production cycles, empowering customers with more efficient production.

As a key highlight new product at the exhibition, NM-Carbomer 1, a universal all-round rheology modifier, attracted wide attention. It can stabilize formulas at a low dosage of 0.1-1.5 wt.%. The viscosity of its neutralized aqueous solution reaches 4000~12000 mPa.s at 0.2% addition, 6000~15500 mPa.s at 0.5%, and 10000~29000 mPa.s at 1.0%. It features excellent salt tolerance and integrates three core functions: thickening, suspension and emulsification. Suitable for all categories of personal care products such as cleansers and skincare items, it supports both cold and hot processing modes. It disperses rapidly in cold water and forms smooth gel with gentle stirring after neutralization, while optimizing spray performance to offer more possibilities for formula innovation.

In addition, the liquid carbomer series, oral care grade, pharmaceutical excipient grade carbomers and PVP series were also fully displayed. The liquid carbomer range includes NM-Carbomer SF-1, Aqua10 and Aqua20. Their liquid form ensures easy operation and superior salt tolerance, helping enhance formula stability. Oral care and pharmaceutical excipient grade carbomers  934P, 956, 974P, 971P strictly comply with major pharmacopoeia standards, widely applied in aqueous and anhydrous toothpaste, mouthwash and health products. The PVP series comprises homopolymers including PVP K30, K90, K17, K25, as well as copolymers PVP/VA64 and PVP/VA73. With versatile functions such as film-forming and thickening, they fully meet application demands in daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals and other fields.

 The successful conclusion of the 2026 Indonesia ICI Exhibition marks an important milestone for Newman Chemical’s in-depth layout in the Southeast Asian market. It has effectively enhanced the brand’s influence in the regional cosmetic raw material industry and deepened cooperation with local clients and partners. Looking forward to 2027 Indonesia ICI — See you in Jakarta!
