LAPONITE XLG
inci-name: Lithium Magnesium Sodium Silicate (nano)
Descrizione del prodotto
INCI : Lithium Magnesium Sodium Silicate (nano) Synthetic layered silicate with low heavy metal content. It is insoluble in water but hydrates and swells to give clear and colorless colloidal dispersions in water or aqueous solutions of alcohols. At concentrations of 2 % or greater in water, highly thixotropic gels are obtained. The unique shear thinning and thixotropic rheology of LAPONITE-XLG improves the skin feel of personal care products. Formulations will have a light, non-sticky texture. LAPONITE-XLG enhances stability of formulations and keeps particles, pigments or solid actives suspended; it is a very effective agent for stabilizing surfactant-free o/w emulsions. LAPONITE-XLG is non-irradiated and may contain variable amounts of micro-organisms.
