Lubrajel MG is a proprietary hydrojel formulation that was developed in the early 1970's as a non-drying, water-soluble lubricant for the medical industry. Lubrajel MG has been marketed since its development in 1973 as a medical lubricant. It has been used as a general and instrument lubricant for use during physical exams, and applied to catheters, thermometers and a host of other instruments to aid in use and patient comfort.

Lubrajel MS-Free was developed in order to fulfill the need for a paraben free version of Lubrajel MS. It utilizes a preservative system different from our other Lubrajels being that it is paraben free. Lubrajel MSFree contains phenoxyethanol instead of parabens. Lubrajel MS-Free still has the same excellent moisturizing and rheological characteristics.

Lubrajel RR is clear and colorless, and virtually odorless and remains so after sterilization by gamma radiation. An initial apparent viscosity of about 25,000 cps (Brookfield RVT or equivalent, spindle #7, 50 rpm, 22º C) exhibits practically no change upon irradiation. Temperature stressed stability studies indicate that pH, viscosity, color, clarity and lubricating qualities are not sacrificed.

Deselex 50% is a powerful sequestering and chelating agent that is a successful replacement for phosphates in the manufacture of detergents.

Lubrajel Oil Free is a low viscosity liquid. Although the solids content is equal to that of Lubrajel MS Free, its viscosity is only approximately 1000 cps where Lubrajel MS Free has a viscosity of greater than 250,000 cps. To differentiate the product from the other grades of Lubrajel Free it is designated as "Oil." Lubrajel Oil Free, however, is a very hydrophilic material and should not be construed as being hydrophobic.

Lubrajel Natural is composed of a crosslinked polysaccharide interbiopolymer complex with glycerin and an Ecocert compliant preservative system of benzoic acid and sorbic acid. This novel, natural skin conditioning gel imparts a light but velvety skin feel, improving the sensory characteristics of personal care formulations, while providing a powerful skin moisturizing effect. Unlike many other natural gels, Lubrajel Natural has good thermal stability, and exhibits a remarkably soft, smooth and non-tacky after-feel.

Lubrajel Marine is composed of complex marine sourced carrageenan derived from red algae, sodium pca, a natural moisturizing factor found in human skin, and the natural humectants, erythritol and glycerin. Lubrajel Marine offers an alternative sensory experience to Lubrajel Natural, while providing effective moisturization, improved clarity, and a buttery, soft, and non-tacky skin feel. Lubrajel Marine contains an Ecocert® and Cosmos compliant preservative system consisting of benzoic and sorbic acid.

KLENSOFT, a new mild, water-based cleanser has been developed by United-Guardian because of the need for a mild formulation to replace the present approach of makeup removal. KLENSOFT is free of mineral oil, isopropyl-fatty acid esters and harsh surfactants.

Orchid Complex is the infusion of carefully cultivated Cymbidium orchids in a vegetal emollient and moisturizer base. This special infusion of Cymbidium in an oxygen rich bath of caprylic and capric triglycerides results in the optimum extraction of the orchid’s essential oils.
