The FOREVEREST ^TM rosinates for cosmetics are based on gum rosin, A natural, renewable resource from Chinese forest area. These hydrogenated rosinate have excellent oxidative stability. They offer a wide range of solubility and compatibility with other cosmetic ingredients. The liquid hydrogenated methyl abietate can provide a plasticizing effect in combination with the solid rosinates.

The hydrogenated methyl abietate, a cosmetic-grade resin, is the methyl ester of hydrogenated gum rosin. This liquid resin is given a special steam-sparging treatment to assure minimum odor. With its low odor and low vapor pressue, it is particularly useful as a fragrance fixative. It has excellent solubility and compatibility with non-polar and many polar ingredients in cosmetic applications, contributing both adhesion and gloss.
The glyceryl hydrogenated rosinate is a cosmetic-grade resin derived from the esterification of a highly stabilized gum rosin and glycerol. This thermoplastic resin has excellent resistance to oxidation and discoloration caused by heat and aging. The rosinate contributes adhesion to various cosmetic and depilatory wax formulations.
The triethylene glycol hydrogenated rosinate is a pale, viscous, balsamic liquid with the resistance to oxidation and discoloration characteristic of the Staybelite series of rosin esters. In general, it finds use where there is a need for a pale, non-oxidizing, color-stable, highly tacky liquid resin.
The triethylene glycol rosinate is produced via a special process that delivers light initial color and product stability. It is a pale, viscous liquid with tackifying and plasticizing characteristics. The rosinate should be considered for a multitude of applications requiring a cost-effective, color-stable, lower viscosity liquid resin.
