Sensogel™ 200
SENSOGEL™ is a series of pre-neutralized, acrylamide-free liquid thickeners designed to impart a feathery light, “quick break” sensory during application with a velvety soft afterfeel. A robust and versatile rheological modifier, Sensogel™ can be used to make anything from thin spray formulas to thick butters by simply adjusting the usage rate. It can also maintain strong viscosity through an extremely wide pH range, and is especially effective at low pH for formulations requiring specialized treatment actives.
Sensogel™ 200 is a novel rheology additive for the water phase of cosmetic products, and is consisted of a hydrophobic modified associative polymer, oil, emulsifiers, glycerin, and water. Through the hydrophobic association, the pendant hydrophobic groups of the associative polymer enhances its thickening power, its O/W emulsion stabilization ability, its own product stability, its synergy with other thickeners, and its electrolyte resistance. At the same time, it offers a fresh, soft, non-sticky elegant sensory at pick-up, rub-in, and after-application
