Bentonite(Gel)

Short Description:

Bentonite, a water-soluble and swelling phyllosilicate mineral in nature, is often used as an inorganic thickening agent in personal care products. This is a pre-activated oil phase rheological additive. It can provide thermostable viscosity to the emulsion’s oil phase, give suspendibility for powder particles, and increase formulation stability. Add it into the oil phase before the emulsification process. It is convenient to use in all W/O emulsion systems.

Product Introduction

Bentonite is a multifunctional cosmetic ingredient that acts as a photostabilizer and viscosity control agent. It is derived from naturally occurring montmorillonite clay minerals and undergoes various modification methods to enhance its functionality and compatibility with different formulations.
Bentonite (gel) is a practical addition to makeup, offering enhanced stability and texture. As a viscosity control agent, it effectively thickens and stabilizes emulsions, ensuring a pleasingly smooth and consistent texture. It also plays a vital role in preventing ingredient separation, extending the product's lifespan, and maintaining stability.
As a photostabilizer, Bentonite protects the formulation from potential degradation caused by UV exposure. Its layered structure aids in the adhesion of film formers, enhancing the effectiveness of sunscreen film formation.
Uni-powder's Bentonite has powder and gel form. can be used in various makeup, such as foundations and mascaras. The concentration of this ingredient in the formulation depends on the desired texture and stability, providing formulators with greater design flexibility.
Furthermore, in terms of compatibility with ethical choices, UNI-POWDER Bentonite series is derived from natural mineral sources and does not involve the use of animal products or by-products in its production process. It can be used to create vegan products.
