| Description: | Partially vegetable-derived rheology modifier for formulation with low to high polarity organic liquids. High bio-renewable content. Sustainable product, only partially petroleum derived. |
| Benefits: | Provides multifunctional benefits including uniform delivery of actives, pigments and solids while reducing or eliminating the need for emulsifiersForms shear thinning emulsions that provide a positive sensory feel while improving skin hydrationCan stabilize emulsions over a broad pH range and accommodate high oil and fat loadings including siliconesForms gelled oil-in-water and water-in-gelled-oil emulsions that are pH insensitive (gels can be water soluble or insoluble)Ads water-resistance to sunscreens and stabilizes inorganic UV filtersCompatible with common emollients used in sun care emulsionsProvides excellent skin feel with low tackActs as emulsion stabilizers and reduces the need for adding multiple emulsifiers in formulas |
| Use: | Softens at 40°C/100°F. Typical use level 1-10%. Can be used to make solid gels of medium polar organic liquids such as emollient esters, glycols, alcohols and polar surfactants. Makes clear sticks, good pigment dispersion. If added to castor oil you will get an instant lip gloss with very nice feel and gloss. Tip: Add very small amounts to the heated oil, under constant agitation until melted, before adding more, to avoid clumping. For external use only. |
| Applications: | Creams, lotions, sticks, sunscreen, color cosmetics, ethanol gels and sprays. |
