Description
Description
Ready-to-use anionic polymer in powder form for creating clear aqueous gels without the need for pH neutralization. The polymer works as a thickener and stabilizer in emulsions and surfactant systems and offers excellent particle suspension power.
Benefits
  • Produces clear aqueous gels providing an elegant and soft, silicone-like skin feel
  • Can be used also to thicken and/or stabilize emulsions (creams & lotions) in combination with other thickeners including gums, pectins, or cellulose derivatives
  • Acts wells as oil thickener (even at low concentrations) as it works synergistically with fatty alcohols (e.g. cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol etc)
  • Increases thickness and foam density when used with anionic or non-ionic surfactant
  • Has extreme resistance to electrolytes up to 10% salts
  • Compatible with ethanol and other solvents, surfactants, AHAs, salicylic acid, zinc pyrithione, sunscreens, and pigments
Use
GelMaker PH can be used in cold or hot solutions. For making clear gels, sprinkle the powder over the aqueous phase and mix at low speed (500-1500rpm) while adding additional ingredients (e.g. minerals) for about 5-10 minutes to allow it to hydrate. For making cream gels, sprinkle the powder over the hot or cold oil phase. Typical use level is 0.5 - 5%. Gels are stable between pH 2 and 8. For external use only.
Applications
Clear gels, creams, lotions, transparent hair gels, sun care products
