Versastique™ Clear Stick Technology

Versastique™ is a multi‑functional, clear stick technology designed to simplify the formulation of solid and semi‑solid stick applications. Its low‑melt, melt‑and‑mix processing enables efficient incorporation of natural, mineral, and synthetic ingredients while improving glide, suspension, and product integrity. 

Formulated for cosmetic, personal care, suncare, healthcare, and hair care applications, Versastique™ helps reduce reliance on high‑melting waxes without sacrificing performance. The result is a smoother application, improved stability, and enhanced skin feel. 

Available in multiple gelled substrates, including squalane, mineral oil, hydrogenated polyisobutene, and C12‑15 alkyl benzoate Versastique™ offers flexibility to meet a wide range of formulation goals. Backed by Calumet® Penreco® and supported by Ingredients + Specialties from Univar Solutions across EMEA, Versastique™ provides a smarter way to create modern, high‑performance stick products.
