Key Benefits

Rheology

Used as a rheological modifier and binder in various cosmetic preparations, especially in products with a high pH.

Stability

Stabilizes both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions at low concentrations (1-2%). The colloidal structure keeps internal phase droplets separated, preventing thinning at high temperatures.

Skin Feel

Significantly improves skin feel by reducing greasiness and providing a smooth application experience.

Synergy

Acts synergistically with common thickeners like xanthan gum and HE cellulose to enhance formulation structure.
