For 80 years, Advancion has leveraged our high-purity and proprietary ingredients to help customers formulate beauty and personal care products with improved performance, enhanced stability, and exceptional aesthetic properties. Advancion’s high-purity personal care-grade amino alcohols are designed to deliver robust multifunctional performance and broad formulating latitude across a wide range of beauty and personal care applications. Our ingredients provide efficient neutralization and buffering properties, as well as superior compatibility with a broad spectrum of other well-known formulating ingredients.

Launched in 2024, our next-generation ingredients,  ELEVANCE™ ULTRA and ELEVANCE™ ELITE Bio65 deliver exceptional multifunctional performance, including high-efficiency neutralization, emulsion stabilization, and pigment dispersion— ideal for clean beauty formulations.

ELEVANCE ULTRA functions as a high-efficiency stabilizer, neutralizer, and powerful pigment co-dispersant, enhancing the performance and sensory quality of personal care and cosmetics formulations. ELEVANCE ULTRA is compatible with a broad range of formulating ingredients and helps improve stability and end-product color and form in a variety of applications, including high-alcohol hand sanitizing gels. ELEVANCE ULTRA is ideal for use with a wide range of hair fixative resins and hair spray propellants and provides in-can corrosion protection and superior curl retention in high-humidity conditions (HHCR). ELEVANCE ULTRA delivers efficiency and versatility that meets the performance demands of modern personal care formulations. It is available as an anhydrous solid (ELEVANCE™ ULTRA 1000), or as an aqueous solution at concentrations of 95% (ELEVANCE™ ULTRA 2000) or 89% (ELEVANCE™ ULTRA 3000).

ELEVANCE™ ELITE Bio65 is a readily biodegradable amino alcohol with 50% bio-based content (ASTM D6866), exclusively manufactured by Advancion. With a Natural Origin Index of 0.65 (ISO 16128), ELEVANCE ELITE Bio65 sets a new standard for multifunctional additives, making it the preferred choice for formulators who prioritize both high performance and environmental responsibility.

In addition to our multifunctional additives, Advancion offers a comprehensive portfolio of natural botanical extracts produced in the U.S. using the traditional method of aqueous extraction. Advancion botanical extracts are specifically formulated for use in home and personal care products and made from sustainably sourced plant materials backed by a fully documented and traceable quality system.

In 2025, Advancion achieved EcoVadis Gold Recognition Level in sustainability performance for the fifth consecutive year.
