BENTONE GEL® 1002 V

BENTONE GEL® 1002 V is a specially prepared dispersion of an organically modified hectorite in an ultra pure D5 silicone (pentamer). This grade is designed to impart rheological control and suspension to organic- and silicone-based cosmetics. BENTONE GEL® 1002 V is also particularly useful in emulsions and can be used in “cold process” systems. It provides thermostable viscosity control of the emulsion’s oil phase, improves application properties, enhances skin-feel by masking greasy or tacky components and imparts a pleasant residual silkiness to the skin. BENTONE GEL® 1002 V is an alternative to traditional polymer or cellulose-based thickeners for stabilising emulsions.
