BENTONE GEL® CAO V
A specially prepared dispersion of a non-animal origin organically modified hectorite in cosmetic grade castor oil
BENTONE GEL CAO V is particularly useful in anhydrous systems, 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.
This grade is designed to impart rheological control and suspension to organic- and silicone-based cosmetics.
BENTONE GEL CAO V is an alternative to traditional polymer or cellulose-based thickeners for stabilising emulsions.
