BENTONE GEL® IDD-T V

Isododecane (and) Disteardimonium Hectorite (and) Triethyl Citrate. BENTONE GEL® IDD-T V by Elementis is a non animal origin, organically modified, specially prepared rheological additive for cosmetics and toiletries. It provides a smooth, silky, pleasant, non-abrasive, non-greasy and non-tacky skin feel. It is suitable for "cold process" systems and can be used as an alternative to traditional polymer or cellulose-based thickeners for stabilizing emulsions. It provides a predictable, reproducible & stable, shear thinning, thermostable viscosity control of the emulsion's oil phase and also enhances application properties. It offers rheological control and suspension to organic- and silicone-based cosmetics. It elevates the apparent melting point and allows cost-efficient use of UV filters. It gives a high degree of formulating flexibility and highly reproducible results for multi-site production requirements. BENTONE GEL® IDD-T V is recommended for use in mascara, eye shadows, antiperspirants, creams, lotions and sun care products. The shelf life of this grade is 2 years.
