Siligel – thickening and gelling agent

Description

Siligel – sophisticated and highly effective gelling and thickening agent

INCI: Lecithin (and) Sclerotium gum (and) Xanthan gum (and) Pullulan

Thickening agent:
The  thickening  properties  of  Siligel™  are  due  to  the  synergistic  polysaccharide combination of xanthan gum and sclerotium gum.

Co-emulsifying agent:

at >0.5% Siligel will acts as a co-emulsifier to a primary emulsifier providing stability to your emulsions

Skin feel enhancer:
Siligel™ offers emulsions an exceptional light feel and a good spreadability close to silicone, due to the synergistic combination with pullulan. Compared to classical natural gelling agents, Siligel™ provides good advantages: lower picking  and  resilience.  Moreover,  resulting  textures  are  as  sophisticated  as  the  ones obtained with synthetic gelling agents.

Improves skin penetration of other actives in the formulation

Siligel™ is stable within a wide range of pH, from 3 to 10.
Siligel™ supports high quantity of electrolytes (up to 2%).
Siligel™ is compatible with surfactants. It is particularly interesting for a use in shampoos  and  shower  gels  since  it  increases  viscosity  and  improves  sensorial properties.
Siligel™ is compatible with most preservatives and additives.
