Rheology Modifiers

Hydrocolloids, synthetic polymers, and clays for viscosity control and particle suspension.

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP (GEI AA-VPC / Aristoflex AVC)

Description

Pre-neutralized synthetic gelling polymer.

Unique Properties

Creates crystal-clear, fresh-melting hydro-gels with zero stickiness and quick-break sensory.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 (Sepimax Zen)

Description

Next-generation associative polymer with extreme electrolyte tolerance.

Unique Properties

Stabilizes difficult actives, high-salt formulas, and direct AHAs without losing gel viscosity.

Sodium Alginate

Description

Natural linear polysaccharide extracted from the cell walls of brown seaweeds.

Unique Properties

Instantly forms firm, peelable hydrogel matrices in the presence of divalent calcium ions.

Alginic Acid

Description

Pure natural polyuronic acid polymer.

Unique Properties

Swelling agent and viscosity builder used in natural organic emulsions and tablet binders.

Pullulan

Description

Natural linear glucan polysaccharide produced by the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans.

Unique Properties

Forms an instant, tight film on the skin that yields an immediate mechanical skin-firming effect.

Microcrystalline Cellulose

Description

Purified, partially depolymerized cellulose isolated from plant pulp.

Unique Properties

Thixotropic suspension aid and stabilizing texturizer that eliminates stickiness in emulsions.

Glucomannan (Konjac Gum)

Description

High molecular weight water-soluble dietary fiber from Amorphophallus konjac.

Unique Properties

Creates rich, resilient, natural viscoelastic gels with high water-holding capacity.

Stearalkonium Hectorite

Description

Organically modified smectite clay compound.

Unique Properties

Suspends heavy pigments and controls rheology in non-polar cosmetic oils and emulsions.

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Description

Organically modified hectorite clay derivative.

Unique Properties

Provides superior thixotropy, pigment suspension, and thermal stability in oil phases.

Polyquaternium-10 (Polyquta 400KC)

Description

Cationic hydroxyethylcellulose ether polymer.

Unique Properties

Builds viscosity while depositing thin conditioning films onto hair cuticles and skin.
