| Description: | Natural thickener combination with sunflower wax and sodium alginate (alginic acid) to make stable all-round lotions. This ICE product is best combined with an emulsifier, such as polysorbate 20 for example, to get a smooth lotion. Alginate is a natural polysaccharide (sugar from brown algae) that has a large capacity of absorbing water. Hydrophile / lipophile balanced to ensure the highest viscosity. |
| Benefits: | Natural thickener that can make instant emulsions with a light non-greasy feel when an emulsifier is addedLeaves a soft, smooth feel on the skin due to the exceptional water-binding capacity of alginate and emollientsActs as a thickener and stabilizer (ideal when a lotion is too runny) |
| Use: | Add 4-10% to water and blend (stick blender) until smooth. Use water at room temperature or hot water for best results. By adding an emulsifier the product will have a smoother consistency, without an emulsifier it will be grainy and not uniform. By adding additional oils and active Raw Materials & Cosmetic Ingredients to the blend the cold emulsion can be easily personalized to your specific needs.
