VEEGUM® R

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate. VEEGUM® R by Vanderbilt Minerals is a highly purified smectite clay suspension stabilizer, emulsion optimizer and rheology modifier. It reduces the slippery or sticky feel of gums and polymers while providing a silky, tack-free feel in topical preparations. It is synergistic with common thickeners such as VANZAN® xanthan gum and CMC. These combinations will offer greater thickening, stabilizing and suspending properties than those developed by the individual components of the mixture. VEEGUM® R is used in a variety of cosmetics and personal care products.
