Security of Supply at the Speed of Innovation
The world’s population is growing and demanding more from the leading manufacturers of personal grooming products. GTI partners with some of the biggest brands in the Personal Care space to meet their growth needs and capture marketplace advantage. Together, we help co-create high-quality, innovative molecules – from anti-perspirant actives to multi-use polyethylene waxes – while improving cost efficiency for our customers along the entire supply chain.
Antiperspirant Actives and Deodorant Ingredients
GTI’s ACHIEVE portfolio includes a variety of high-quality antiperspirant actives, founded on our decades of experience in aluminum-based chemistry. Our new STRIVE line consists of zinc-based compounds, with anti-microbial properties, that are used in deodorant applications.

Deodorant Products
Zinc Ricinoleate neutralizes body odor through two primary mechanisms: Complexation with odor-causing molecules (binding to and encapsulating odor-causing molecules); and inhibition of bacterial growth (antimicrobial properties helping to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria on the skin).
INSPIRE™ Polyethylene Waxes & Alcohols and Ethoxylates are created with specific properties that make them excellent structurants, providing consistency to even the most demanding formulations in personal care and cosmetic products. These versatile components bring dimensional stability to solid sticks and improved emolliency and stabilized viscosities to emulsions, creams and lotions – and much more!

Let innovation lead the way!
A history of effectively listening to customers has helped us understand the ever-evolving Personal Care market. The only way to Win-Win is to always look for new ways of thinking and to put our unique ideas to the test. We have three core practices; a professional approach to R&D; a highly efficient Supply Chain; and an elegantly engineered Scale Up with speed and efficiency.
Our Products
Our Polyethylene Waxes & Alcohols, and Ethoxylates are fully linear and fully saturated, exhibiting low molecular weight and narrow carbon distribution. They deliver sharp melt points, rapid recrystallization, low melt viscosities, and excellent heat stability. These versatile products can be used as film formers, thickeners, viscosity modifiers, and oil stabilizers.

Polyethylene Wax
INSPIRE synthetic waxes function as a rheology modifier, film former, and oil thickening agent. INSPIRE’s structure is completely linear with a narrow molecular weight distribution resulting in a lower melt temperature than most traditional synthetic waxes. In formulations INSPIRE synthetic waxes improve stick stability, oil structure, uniform pay-out, and light feels on skin.
PE Alcohols

PE Alcohols
The INSPIRE 9000 series is a high molecular weight, fully saturated long chain, linear alcohol. In formulations INSPIRE alcohols improve stick stability, oil structure, uniform payout, film forming, and light water resistance. It is compatible with silicones as well as other cosmetic oils and acts as oil thickening, rheology modifier which helps with oil phase stability.
PE Ethoxylates

PE Ethoxylates
INSPIRE PE are ethoxylated linear polyethylene alcohols with high temperature stability. This multi-functional material can emulsify polymers, oils (including silicone and vegetable), as well as waxes. The INSPIRE 8000 series is non-ionic, making it compatible with a wide rane of other emulsifiers (cationic, anionic and non-ionic) and provides excellent dispersion of solid particles and pigments.
