Description
Description
Pre-neutralized polymer in an inverse emulsion that forms hydro-swelling droplets (HSD) in water
Benefits
  • Excellent thickener by forming gels over a wide ph range (4-12)
  • Emulsifies all kinds of oily phases (up to 40%) including silicones and vegetable oils without the addition of a conventional emulsifier
  • Able to produce cold emulsions
  • Stabilizes emulsions and maintains the viscosity of a formula
  • Gives light and pleasant texture to spread on skin
Use
Emulsions: 0.5-2%. Can be added into fat or water phase, or at the end of emulsification. Needs good mixing with hand mixer to get smooth creams. Gel creams: 1-5%. When using over 3% use at least 12% oils for best performance. For external use only.
Applications
Gel-creams, emulsion-gels, cold emulsions, lotions, creams, skin-whitening /self-tanning products, sun care & baby care products, mascara, foundations.

No purity grade applicable
Appearance
Translucent, slightly viscous liquid
pH Value
pH: 5-7 (2% aqueous gel)
Solubility
Dispersible in water
Preservation
Preservative-free
Storage
Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature
Country of Origin
France
Raw Material Source
Sodiumacrylate, sorbitol, vegetable oils, petroleum derivatives
Manufacture
The copolymer is made by polymerization of sodiumacrylate and sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate monomers. Isohexadecane is made in a multi-step process to form a branched C16 hydrocarbon from petroleum derivatives. Polysorbate 80 is obtained by esterification of sorbitol with one or three molecules of a fatty acid including stearic, lauric, oleic, and palmitic acid.
