Non-animal Origin Rheological Additive For Aqueous Cosmetics And Toiletries

BENTONE HYDROCLAY™ 700 additive is a highly beneficiated, easily dispersible powdered blend of smectite clay and Xanthan gum. In comparison to pure clay, it imparts slightly less thixotropic viscosity to the water phase of cosmetics. It is particularly effective as a means of providing a 100% natural, stable and light sensory rheology modification.
