BENTONE GEL^® PHC V

Non-animal origin rheological additive for Cosmetics and Toiletries

BENTONE GEL PHC V is a specially prepared dispersion of a non-animal origin organically modified hectorite clay in a light silicone alternative. BENTONE GEL PHC V delivers a combination of benefits in a single, easy to use product. It is designed to impart rheological control and suspension to the oil phase of cosmetics. It is an easily spreadable, volatile and non-oily emollient, which leaves a soft, non-tacky skin feel. BENTONE GEL PHC V is also useful in emulsions and can be used in "cold process" systems. It provides thermostable viscosity control of the emulsion's oil phase, imparts thixotropic flow, improves application properties and imparts a pleasant residual silkiness to the skin.
