Rheology modifiers often known as thickeners are found in a variety of cosmetics to maintain the overall stability and efficacy and gauge the pH levels of products. However, majority of thickeners are poorly dispersible in water leading to agglomeration and lumps.
To counter this, Sanyo Chemicals have come up with SALANJUL which is a starch-based derivative. Being a natural thickening agent, it leaves a lightweight and smooth texture in skincare products.
