BENTONE GEL^® PIO V

Non-animal origin rheological additive for Cosmetics and Toiletries

BENTONE GEL PIO V is a specially prepared dispersion of a non-animal origin organically modified hectorite in Hydrogenated Polyisobutene. BENTONE GEL PIO V delivers a combination of benefits in a single, easy to use product. It is designed to impart rheological control and suspension properties to emulsion and anhydrous products. BENTONE GEL PIO V provides thermostable viscosity control of the emulsion’s oil phase, imparts thixotropic flow, improves application properties, enhances skin-feel by masking greasy and tacky components and imparts a pleasant residual silkiness to the skin. BENTONE GEL PIO V is an alternative to traditional polymer or cellulose-based thickeners for stabilising emulsions.
