BENTONE® ULTIMATE LC

BENTONE® ULTIMATE LC is a specially prepared dispersion of an organically modified hectorite in a low carbon chain alkane. This grade is designed with a high active content to impart rheological control and suspension in cosmetic products. Due to BENTONE ULTIMATE LC’s volatility, it is an excellent alternative to cyclopentasiloxane based products. BENTONE® ULTIMATE LC applies easily without leaving a greasy film on the skin. It provides thermostable viscosity control of the emulsion’s oil phase, improves application properties, enhances skin-feel, improves suspension and imparts a pleasant residual silkiness to the skin. It is also particularly useful in emulsions and can be used in “cold process” systems. BENTONE® ULTIMATE LC is an alternative to traditional polymer or cellulose-based thickeners for stabilising emulsions.
