TIXOGEL® PEC-1414

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Polyethylene, Cyclopentasiloxane and Cyclohexasiloxane. Acts as a thixotropic gellant. Provides stable, predictable, reproducible thixotropic viscosity and pigment suspension in a myriad of cosmetic formulation types. It can be easily incorporated into the manufacturing cycle with medium shear dispersion equipment. Impart water repellency, increase the wear time, add lubricity and emolliency, and can help increase the SPF of formulations. Due to the high melting point of the polyethylene, it can impart high temperature stability. The gel can also be used to aid suspension of pigments and other non-soluble particulates. Used in skin-care products, eye products, lip products and sunscreens.
