AMCOL Health & Beauty Solutions, Inc. (HBS), a subsidiary of AMCOL International Corporation, develops and markets proprietary microparticle delivery systems and rheology technology platforms that drive the performance of a wide range of skin care products.
We take a solutions approach to meeting our customer’s requirements by offering the flexibility to supply our technologies on a continuum from raw materials through bulk packaged and turn-key finished goods.
The breadth of our product offering gives us a value proposition for every market channel from mass market multinationals through specialty skin care organizations to OTC and ethical pharmaceutical firms.
Our technologies and products enhance the appearance and health of skin by improving tone, clarity, hydration, firmness, and wrinkle reduction. They also act to protect skin via prevention of photo-aging and environmental damage.
In March 2007, we added the MICROSPONGE® delivery system to our technology portfolio.

MICROSPONGE Technology is a proprietary system of microparticles that entrap pharmaceutical and cosmetic active ingredients to enhance their performance in topically applied dermatological products.
MICROSPONGE delivery technology protects active ingredients and enhances the efficacy, esthetics, and stability of skin care formulations.
Thanks to its sustained release characteristics, the MICROSPONGE
system reduces the irritation commonly associated with many skin care actives. Reduced irritation leads to:
- Improved client acceptance and compliance
- Superior results
- Greater consumer brand loyalty
Our customers leverage the performance enhancing aspects of our technology and
MICROSPONGE brand recognition to differentiate their products.
HBS now offers a portfolio of clinically tested white label dermatological products based on the proprietary MICROSPONGE delivery system to address a wide range of skin therapies including skin rejuvenation, acne, hyperpigmentation, firmness, dark circles, and moisturization. A full range of suncare products, critical for managing numerous skin therapies, is also available.
HBS products are supplied in several formats including lotions, gels, sprays, powders, non-woven applications and unit dose.
HBS products are produced at our cGMP, FDA registered manufacturing plant in Lafayette, LA and are available directly in the US and globally through our sales and distribution network.
